#parkweek

It’s National Park Week! From sea to shining sea, from North America’s lowest point at Death Valley National Park in California to the highest peak on the continent at Denali National Park in Alaska, your national parks showcase some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. If you need another example, here’s an incredible view at Glacier National Park in Montana. Check in with us throughout the week to see if we feature your favorite park. Photo by Jacob W.

In celebration of National Park Week, this week we will be highlighting some of the park’s “stars”. The biggest star of the park is of course Mount Rainier! Rising to an elevation of 14,410 feet, this glaciated volcano has a way of stealing all the attention. Everyone remembers their first time seeing this impressive peak, whether it was from afar or up close. What is your first Mount Rainier memory?
