Don’t Pay A Tour Guide. Get One For Free!
In most parks, park rangers know more than those paid tour guides. Most have regular talks, tours, and programs. For instance, in Washington, DC, they offer tours of the National Mall every day.
This includes a weekend bike tour, an evening lantern walk, and diverse programs for kids.
Certain Park Rangers Live In The Parks
If, when hiking through the parks, you see cabins or houses along your way, they’re not necessarily tourist lodgings. Frequently, rangers live in them during the season. Park rangers tend to feel more connected to the park when they’re always there. Who wouldn’t?
They get to watch glorious sunsets over Grand Teton in Wyoming, and they hear humpback whales from their windows in Alaska’s Glacier Bay.
