A6 #ParkChat TBH, it was my first trip to Badlands NP in 2012. That first overlook, I texted my friend Greg (who I knew had been there before), "Why did you never tell me?" He responded, "You needed to see it yourself."

Q1 #ParkChat I’ve found hidden gems for places to eat while visiting the Parks at bowling alleys, farmers markets and food trucks. Could you name a hidden gem place to eat that you found while visiting a Park? About any kind of place works here.

Q11 #ParkChat Q11 You want to wear a costume that has a National Park theme. You can’t come up with an idea so you turn to this tool. Let us know what costume it guides you to and does it make sense? I’m a plotting river otter apparently.

October is National Depression Awareness Month. Get screened if your sadness isn't linked to anything specific. Get screened if your sadness doesn't go away. Call 988 if you need to talk to someone.
Q11 #ParkChat The increased darkness also is linked to seasonal affective disorder or SAD. If autumn is a period of depression for you or someone you love, please seek professional help to get through it.

Being outside may be part of your therapy or self-care. What makes you happiest about autumn?

Q10 #ParkChat Earlier sunsets and later sunrises in autumn mean more time for stargazing! The Orionid meteors peaked earlier this week, and the Taurids and Leonids will be visiting in November. Do you wish upon the falling stars? Do you count meteors? Have you caught any photos?

Q9 #ParkChat Longer, cooler nights bring on the urge to eat and sleep more. Call it what you will – brumation, torpor, hibernation – many animals enter a state of sleep or near-sleep starting in the autumn. What’s your favorite sleepy animal?
