The National Park Service is celebrating their 100th anniversary in 2016, and we’re so proud to join them in the celebration of our parks – they are truly our “national treasures.” But as I discovered this past summer when we travelled with our family and Tauck to Yellowstone and Grand
Teton national parks, they are actually “personal treasures.” We rafted, hiked and rode horses; learned a lot about wildlife, nature and geology; even got to see Old Faithful Geyser from our hotel right next to it. And at the end of our trip, the words of our travel partner, filmmaker Ken Burns, really hit home with me: “Choosing a favourite park has as much to do with who was holding your hand when you visited as what you saw or did.” So true. We all felt that this was one of our family’s favourite trips, yet my wife Kiki and I were surprised how vivid our memories were of visiting the parks with our parents – and we realised that our children will relive this trip when they take their own children to these parks. And because of the National Park Service, the parks will be as spectacular and unspoiled as they are today.
