  • Informative & Engaging!

    Started listening to the Zion episodes to prep for an upcoming trip and loved how much actual info about the natural beauty of the park these episodes dug into! As someone who has helped do research for Acadia National Park in the past, hearing about the dark sky info, animals, ecosystems, and plants made me even more excited to keep exploring - HIGHLY recommend listening!!

  • AWESOME PODCAST

    Big fan of Safe Travels! I love national parks, but I don’t necessarily spend a lot of time in the visitors centers when I’m at a park. Safe Travels provides so much information and an insight into each park it’s covered. Can’t wait to see more and more parks build out this podcast.
