a rustic wooden shack with a weathered tin roof situated in a lush, green environment. The shack is positioned slightly to the left of the frame, surrounded by mature trees whose branches stretch across the sky and cast dappled shadows on the ground. The leaves on the trees are a mix of light and dark green, indicating a lively, verdant setting. In the foreground, a white wooden fence runs parallel to the lower edge of the image, adding to the rural atmosphere. A dirt path leads to the shack, while the grass surrounding it appears well-kept, contributing to the pastoral charm of the scene.

Hello, I'm Wendy, and I started Travel the Parks to document our journeys to the different National Parks across the country. We began sharing our vacations with family and friends. We have expanded it to cover all national park units, state parks, and other destinations we've visited. On our website, we post our travels, tips, and itineraries from all the parks we visit. We also share our love of fishing rivers, lakes and streams. We hope to travel throughout the year now that we have a travel trailer. Every National Park unit sign serves as our signature in a picture. Because of the blog, I hope to make trip planning easier for others.
