For many visitors, hiking is their go-to activity in the national parks; it is for us. But there are so many other activities the parks have to offer. In this episode, we talk about a dozen or more things you can do in the parks that are unique and amazing.

From dogsledding to synchronized firefly tours, the parks offer activities that will thrill the entire family. Here are a few of the ones we discuss:

• Walk on the catwalk underneath the New River Gorge Bridge,


• Horseback ride,


• Attend the bat flight program in Carlsbad Caverns NP,


• Raft down a wild river,


• Hike to and spend the night in a backcountry chalet or lodge,


• See the first sunrise in the US,


• Pick fruit in an orchard,


• And more!
