Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. The climb to the summit is steeper than it looks! The Loop Trail was a nice 4.6 mile hike. #Texas #hiking #EnchantedRock

Lost Maples State Natural Area. Still probably several weeks away from seeing the maple leaves 🍁 change color, but cooler temps (<90°) made for a great morning of hiking. Monkey Rock didn’t disappoint 🐒 #hiking #Texas

My latest quilt. Upcycled 3 pairs of jeans into this quilt. So it’s a mix of quilting cotton & denim. #quilting #quilts #sewing

A4. Shenandoah NP—visited this past weekend. Was visiting a friend in VA and decided to go hiking and saw it was only 1.5 hours away so we headed there. The ranger at the visitor center gave us all the info we needed. #parkchat

A3. Don’t sleep on the short trails near the visitor center. Often times they’re really awesome, like the Castle Crest Wildflower Trail Crater Lake NP. The prettiest meadow I’ve ever been in!! #parkchat

I’ve visited DC/Virginia many times and not sure why it never occurred to me to see if there were any National Parks nearby 🤨 This time I made it out to Shenandoah NP for a hike on Compton Gap Trail #NationalParks #ParkChat #hiking #Virginia

A5. So far this year my only new park is Congaree NP. I visited solo and it was a much needed day in nature to recharge. #ParkChat

A6. Texas has some great state parks, I’d recommend Palo Duro Canyon SP and Enchanted Rock SNA. 7 hours drive between them so not gonna visit both in one day 😂 #ParkChat

A4. I’ve been to Killarney NP in Ireland (3 pics), Laughing Bird Caye NP in Belize, and Westland Tai Poutini National Park in New Zealand (glacier pic) they didn’t have visitor centers like the U.S. parks #ParkChat
