Helpful questions to ask Rangers

The Rangers at National Park Service Units are very helpful and knowledgeable, so we need to know the right questions to ask before visiting. After visiting 386 of our NPS units, tent camping along the way, my list of questions include: where the Passport Stamps are located, is there a video (usually there is and most are very good), are there any Dark Sky programs (Great Basin and Theodore Roosevelt NP had great ones), what State Parks or campsites are close by that have hot showers and perhaps electric, are there any current trading stamps or Share the Experience postcards available, are there Junior Ranger booklets (for grandchildren), is there WiFi available (some units do have WiFi), are there any hot/warm mineral springs close by, are there any rockhounding locations close by, and is there an Aldi Market or Wal-Mart nearby? Please bring your empty water bottles and fill them up at NPS units to save plastic from harming Mother Earth (most all units have bottle refill stations). You’ll get the most from your visit by asking these questions! If you’re a Senior, get your lifetime pass and enjoy the adventure, as admission is free for your carload and camping is half-price using the card. Did you find your Park yet?
