A8: Going back to the previous questions with the night sky... definitely reducing light pollution. Agate has noticeably worse light domes to the northeast than it had even 7 years ago. New mining ops threaten the darkest areas of Death Valley. We're losing ground. #parkchat

A2: The views from atop Scotts Bluff on a clear day... when you can take in the epicness of what it meant to do the Oregon Trail. Distant expanses where they came from, the faintest hints of the Rockies with their challenges ahead. #parkchat

A1: Bigness can also be the realization that you yourself are a small part of a much larger story. Even staring at a single moccasin decorated with thousands of porcupine quills in a museum feels "big" as you realize the scale of time and skill that went into it. #parkchat
