Fun fact: the US National Park Service has never had to rename any of its fifty-eight national parks. That’s not too surprising, though, if you think about it. The Grand Canyon is still grand, the Rocky Mountains are still rocky, and the Petrified Forest is still petrified. If the name captures the essence of the park, why change it? Thanks to climate change, at least one of our national parks may need to file for a name change sooner than later…
On a recent visit to Glacier National Park in northern Montana, I took a hike to the top of an 8100 ft mountain. My senses were overwhelmed with every step I took. Traversing through dense forests, skipping over rippling creeks, and running through meadows full of wildflowers, I felt completely embraced by Mother Nature. This is Glacier National Park’s specialty--enveloping visitors in fresh mountain air and scenic views.
