About this listen
Are you tired of the chaotic life in the city. and wish to find an escape? National parks can be your answer. In the United States, there are currently 63 national parks spread across the entire country. If you want to begin exploring the beauty of nature, consider visiting one of these national parks. Every one of them has its own unique charm and appeal that draws large numbers of tourists each year, nationally and internationally.
National parks are among the most beautiful destinations in the country, especially for those who enjoy photography. However, many people have yet to learn how great these parks are, and that’s why it’s worth making the trip.
National parks are an amazing idea for everyone, because they’re known to be fairly cheap to enter, which makes them budget-friendly. Because they’re spread across 27 different states, it’s very easy to access them, as well. If you have kids, national parks can provide them a space to learn about nature, history, and conservation, while also enjoying fun activities. Moreover, spending time in nature also improves your overall well-being, because you can step back from your phones and computers. This means that you’ll have more time to do outside activities like hiking or walking, which will boost your physical health.
It’s time for you to relax and visit a national park! Which national park will you visit first?

Dear Bob and Sue is the story of our (Matt and Karen Smith's) journey to all 59 US National Parks. We wrote the book as a series of emails to our friends, Bob and Sue, in which we share our humorous and quirky observations. It is at times irreverent, unpredictable, and sarcastic, all in the spirit of humor. We describe a few of our experiences in each park but do not provide an exhaustive overview of each experience or park.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.
