Charting National Parks Traveler's Future
Since August 2005, National Parks Traveler’s mission has been to educate the public, increase awareness, and build a strong advocacy for protection and stewardship of our national parks. That mission will be underscored in 2017 as we seek nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, a designation that will cement National Parks Traveler’s role far into the future.

Commenting On The Traveler
Public dialogue is a vital component of understanding issues, including those that swirl around the national parks. As such, we will continue to allow comments to be placed on National Parks Traveler. But we hope readers will take seriously the responsibility that comes with that.
Is It Time To Ban Comments On The Traveler?
Has the time come to ban comments on the Traveler? That's not a philosophical question, but one driven by concerns among readers that constructive conversation is hard to come by on the site.

Traveler Experiences Technical Meltdown
Well, readers, as you might have guessed, the Traveler had a pretty extreme technical meltdown this afternoon. Fortunately, it's back and running. Unfortunately, it lost two days' worth of copy...and comments. We can somewhat easily replace the copy, but not so easily replace the comments.
