  Speaker 2: what's your favorite National park you visited? And what's your
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: favorite memory from a trip to a national prince.

  Speaker 3: very great fondness for Great Glacier National Park, me too,

  Speaker 3: Montana and up into Canada because I went there first
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: time on a motorcycle, took a motorcycle trip from all
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: through there, and then the second time I went there.

  Speaker 3: I have great memories of Glacier National Park, and of
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: course it's beautiful. It's just a beautiful place to be.

  Speaker 3: I have really fond memories of Yellowstone National Park because
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: that's the first National park I think I ever went
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: to when I was a little kid. Oh and I
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: remember it vividly. It was back then there were bears
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: everywhere lining the road and people would do stupid things
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: like get out of their cars and feed them. Yeah.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: And then I've been to Yellowstone. I probably have been
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: to Yellowstone more times than I've been any other park.

• 1:58

  Speaker 4: I was when I was a kid, and we have
• 3:27

  Speaker 1: That's just cool. Just no place like that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it was like an alien landscape, you know.

  Speaker 3: Cedar breaks.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're so lucky to have so many of
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: them here. And I bet it's like California where Californians
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: don't go to Disneyland. I bet a lot of Utahn's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: haven't been our national parks here.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I don't believe except to Yellowstone, I

• 4:11
  Speaker 3: My grandparents took us to Yellowstone Ones, but my parents,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: we just don't didn't do that. They never took us skiing,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: They never took us to a national park. I don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: think we ever really went on vacation very often. It
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was just go read a book, Okay, But yeah, I
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: mean I've had a great, great experience. Is a lot
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: of different. I'm trying to think if I've done any

  Speaker 3: national parks in the East, and I guess I probably
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I have not.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And when we've done the national parks, this is kind
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of fun. I bet Keith does this. They all have

• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Christmas tree ornament from the place where we are, and
