 Death Valley National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) 

Visited in 2023

Woah! It was so hot, but the desert was beautiful! Look at the colors in those rocks. Dozy the Desert Tortoise was such a wonderful friend and travel buddy. I'll miss him, but promised I'd come back to see him someday. Check out my story to learn why Dozy isn't coming with me.

 Pinnacles National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) 

Visited in 2023

Bats and condors and chipmunks, oh my! Who would have ever thought two of these three would help save my life and one would want to eat me! To learn which one is which, read about my adventures in Pinnacles.

 Yosemite National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) 

Visited in 2024

Firefall? Does that mean falling fire? I am going to have to be especially careful in this park because my twigs don't like fire!  Check out how I manage the fire in Yosemite National Park.

Zion National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) 

Orange, orange, and more orange...everywhere! Orange is my favorite color. Do you think I loved this park? :)

Cape Cod National Seashore (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) 

I thought I would be enjoying rest and relaxation at the beach. I did, for about five minutes, then life happened in the form of snakes, beetles, and seals. I'm going to need another vacation after this vacation!
