A J.R.I.C. Guide to National Parks

Information about various National Parks. We’ll start with the parks featured in the J.R.I.C. Novels and move on from there.

I’m not! And the first and best advice I can give anyone is talk to people who know the parks well. That includes rangers, concessionaires, scientists, hobbyist and other visitors.

But, if there’s one place I’ve spent a lot of time, researching, writing about, living in, exploring, and beyond, it’s National Parks. … :-P

So, these are just suggestions, hints, lists of my favorite activities, facts, and figures and links to other places where you can learn more.

No! I will definitely miss some things, probably some of the best things. Also park rules, guidelines, trails, and tours change all the time. So, the first two I won’t even try to keep up with. (Keep your hands to yourselves, stay safe, bring lots of water, and don’t take anything, artifact, animal, or mineral from the park. - plant either, although there’s some exceptions for fruit. And don’t leave anything -litter- in a national park either.)

But if a favorite trail or tour has changed, or if you think I missed a better one, feel free to let me know.

That’s because you are awesome. You’ve found this page early days. And I am still working on it.

Thanks, and check back soon!
