Inspired by news coverage this week on the National Park’s 99th birthday, I started thinking about the different parks and historic sites I was hoping to visit in my lifetime. Then, I got a crazy idea. Why not try to visit 100 National Parks Service sites in the year leading up to the 100th anniversary of the NPS? So, this has become my quest.

I invite you to follow along on this site and with the hashtag #my100parks on instagram. I’ll be posting photos, experiences, and historical factoids along the way. Want to join me? I’d love to meet up with friends, old and new, along the way. This year, let’s explore our Parks!
