Our National Park system is a real treasure. Each is unique and different. I love this one, in some ways just because of the scale of it.
I love the humbling scale of nature. Late at night, when you look at the sky full of stars, or my experience in Ghana's Kakum National Park, which is a huge rainforest. You walk across a series of bridges meters in the air and just look out over the treetops stretching away into the distance, and think about all of that life and nature all around. It's beautiful. :)
