"Tall is too small," the barista said,
"Starbucks  recommends the medium instead. "

What Hoover hammered out of the park
Was a curveball with a generous arc.

The Venus you see through your naked eye's lense
Shines like a star that has no friends.

We'll reveal the answer and explain the clues in tomorrow's Traveler.

RangerLady--
You're being too literal.  Searching for Starbuck's terminology in a list of Unit names won't get it done.  You have to use fuzzy (very fuzzy) logic to keep up with Kurt & Bob.

We need to clarify something here. Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument has been submitted as an answer several times today, but it is not a unit of the National Park System  It is co-managed by the National Park Service (with BLM), and the part of Grand Canyon-Parashant that the Park Service manages is a component of Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
