134: Q&A - Recreation.gov Loophole, Hidden Gems, Alaska Parks, and Utah's Mighty Five
Q: What are some of your favorite hidden gems in Yellowstone or the Tetons?
Secret hikes are often favorite hidden gems like Hanging Canyon to Lake of the Crags in Grand Teton. Exploring the trails less traveled will yield quiet, beautiful spots.
134: Q&A - Recreation.gov Loophole, Hidden Gems, Alaska Parks, and Utah's Mighty Five
Q: Is it smart to visit the North and South Dakota parks in the same trip?
It's definitely feasible. North Dakota's Theodore Roosevelt National Park is not far from South Dakota's parks, making it easy to visit both in one trip.
134: Q&A - Recreation.gov Loophole, Hidden Gems, Alaska Parks, and Utah's Mighty Five
Q: If you wanted to have a reservation for September 1st, instead of trying to call on March 1st with everybody else, could you call on February 16th and book up to 14 days to include September 1st or do you have to wait until the entire booking is available when you call?
You don't have to wait for all of your dates to open up. As long as the first date of your trip is open for reservations, you can reserve up to 14 days starting from that date.
134: Q&A - Recreation.gov Loophole, Hidden Gems, Alaska Parks, and Utah's Mighty Five
Q: I would really love to know which are the parks that are really worthy camping inside of the park and the ones that it's not really necessary.
Some parks, like Grand Teton, can be better camped outside because of high costs and better dispersed camping options. Other parks might necessitate camping inside for better access and fewer crowds.
