This is us thinking about the Roman Empire. Sorry, we meant parks. We’re thinking about parks. We have a theory that everyone thinks about national parks often—even daily. When did you last think about parks? You’re thinking of them right now. (That’s because you asked us!) Touché. Why not? There’s a network of 425 parks across the country that protect and preserve amazing natural resources as well as tell stories of who we are and where we came from. Also, Fat Bear Week. Whether you think about parks three or four times a month, every couple of days, or at least once a day or hour (slowly raises hand), we’ve got you covered. Apologies in advance for our continued parksplaining about parks and bear with us on why we think about them all the time.
