National Parks of the Northeastern United States

National Parks of the Northeastern United States In-Person

Not all visits to National Parks require New Englanders to make extensive travel plans - in this armchair travel presentation, our adventure guide Steve Farrar will take us on a pictorial tour to visit six parks east of the Mississippi stretching from the rocky seacoast of Maine to a world-class subterranean wonderworld in Kentucky. Whether arranging for a day trip or planning a long weekend, you will learn how exciting and accessible these parks are - from the most-visited to some relatively unknown destinations. 

About Seve Farrar: 

Steve Farrar, grew up in the Boston suburb of Medfield, MA and experienced his first National Park as an impressionable 14-year-old on the way to the 1969 National Boy Scout Jamboree in Idaho. The 5-day bus trip from Salt Lake City included stops in Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Glacier National Park which sparked a fascination with natural beauty that has evolved into Steve's life-long passion for visiting our National Parks. His adventures exploring all 63 parks include hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, scuba diving the coral reefs of the Virgin Islands, camping among the wolves on Isle Royale, scaling rock faces in Yosemite, and climbing to the summits of Mount Rainier and Denali. 

Steve's pictures and stories of his travels are sure to stoke your personal wanderlust, so come prepared to be inspired!
