Greetings from Glacier National Park

This summer we did an amazing road trip in an RV, spending time in Glacier, Yellowstone and the Tetons and doing our best to take a ‘socially distanced’ vacation. It was so meaningful to share the beauty of these places with our children. I made them all go read the sign in glacier that explains how rapidly the glaciers have receded, and how different the landscape looked a mere 100 years ago. I truly hope this motivates them to help preserve these incredible spaces for generations to come.

Sincerely,
John
