Summary

In our Mailbag! episodes, we answer questions from listeners about the national parks, ranger-led tours, road trips, hiking, camping, backpacking, gear, relationships, and pretty much whatever anyone wants to ask us. In this episode, we cover these topics: · A listener asks our opinion on whether to spend a weekend in Olympic NP or Shenandoah NP (the title of this episode is a clue to our answer), · Suggestions about which of the three Washington national parks would be best to visit when you have an extra two days on route to an Alaskan cruise, · Would we recommend a blow-up air mattress or cots for a family of four just getting started camping, · Which place is most likely to become the next U.S. national park, · Should parents bring snake gaiters for their young sons on a trip to Big Bend NP, · And more!
