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: · How we determined the order in which we would visit all the national parks, · Have we ever seen a Bigfoot, and do we think he (she) is real, · Where might you go to experience a white Christmas in a national park, · Why posted trail distances are always different than what your GPS app says, · Best national park-themed baby names, · And more!
