Yesterday’s change in designation from National Lakeshore to National Park makes Indiana Dunes the 61st in the system. Also, we now officially live within day trip distance of a National Park! Pics are from an August 2009 visit. #newnationalpark #indianadunes #indianadunesnationallakeshore #indianadunesnationalpark #lakemichigan #sanddunes #midwestnationalparksFancy taillights then and now.

The perfect place for some post-Christmas exercise. #driftless #driftlessregion #iowastateparks #karst #maquoketariver #backbonestatepark #hikeiowaThe General Grant Tree in Kings Canyon National Park was designated the Nation’s Christmas Tree in 1926. At 267 feet tall and 107 feet in diameter, it is the second largest tree in the world by volume. Pic taken during our visit on July 1, 2018. #nationschristmastree #generalgranttree #talltrees #kingscanyonnationalpark #kingscanyon #grantgrove #generalgrantgrove #findyourparkOn this day in 1971, Capitol Reef National Monument became Capitol Reef National Park. On July 3, 2015 we entered near the Burr Trail Switchbacks (first pic) and on July 4th we took a Jeep on the off-road Cathedral Valley Loop (second pic). #highkicktravel #capitolreefnationalpark #capitolreef #waterpocketfold #burrtrail #burrtrailswitchbacks #utahunique #jeepin #highkickHappy birthday to Petrified Forest National Park.

This is a great little statistical poster. What program do you use to make that?
Thanks, the type and illustrations are done in Adobe Illustrator with the watercolor paintings scanned and adjusted using Photoshop.
