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: · Which national parks were more than we expected when we visited them, · How to fit more passport stamps in your passport book when the pages fill up, · What activities to do and sites to visit in a camper van on the way from Dead Horse Point State Park to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, · Tips for snagging an NPS lodge cancellation when they’re all booked up, · What are the chances the Quinault Lodge in Olympic NP, whose rooms are not airconditioned, will be too warm at night for sleeping in June, · Whether Mount Rainier NP will impose a timed-entry reservation system and if it will go into effect in 2023, · Do we think it’s still worth visiting Mesa Verde if you can’t get tickets for the ranger-led tours, · What are our biggest regrets when we look back at our journey to all the national parks, · And more!
