In our Mailbag! episodes, we answer questions from listeners about the national parks, ranger-led tours, road trips, hiking, camping, backpacking, gear, relationships, and pretty much whatever anyone wants to ask us. In this episode, we cover these topics: · We reveal our ambitious 2024 New Year’s resolution (and you can join us!), · Our gear suggestions for a family who wants to get started camping, · A discussion about the difference between “strenuous” and “dangerous” trail descriptions, · An overview of Glacier National Park’s 2024 shuttle program, · Clarifying which reservations you’ll need in 2024 to visit Carlsbad Caverns NP, · And more!
