I love this theme for today’s national park week of gratitude!

I feel a huge sense of gratitude when thinking about the national parks. I am grateful for the creation of this system to preserve something so special in our country. I am grateful for the many people who play a role in these national parks from the park rangers to the support staff. I am grateful for all parks, monuments, lakeshores, parkways, battlefields, military sites, memorials, scenic trails, seashores, and other designations.

I am just really grateful for this system! What about the national parks makes you grateful?

Happy National Park Week!
