National Park Week is April 17 - 25
Next week is National Park Week and to celebrate, the National Park Service is offering free entrance to all 392 of its parks across the country.
Last weekend, I visited Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Colorado. I saw huge flocks of mountain bluebirds in Moraine Park, as well as the ever-ubiquitous elk just outside of the park boundary. The snow is finally melting and I'm looking forward to the wildflower bloom in the weeks ahead!
