Alaska. Girdwood/Seward/Denali National Park/Talkeetna. June 2017

National Park Counter: 5 SUPER AWESOME TRIP.

This is a lengthy post, and IContinue reading “Alaska. Girdwood/Seward/Denali National Park/Talkeetna. June 2017”

Grand Canyon National Park, AZ. March 2015

National Park Counter: 4 Ok! Here we go! So, firstly, this was not my trip and was not planned by me. I was accompanying my best friend on a personal journey. This was her trip.

Gateway Arch National Park, MO

National Park Counter: 1 Ok, post number 1! So, I have not been to the Arch since it became a National Park, but I have been there at least 3 or 4 times. It’s an arch. It’s tall. It’s in St. Louis. It used to be called the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. I think theContinue reading “Gateway Arch National Park, MO”
