| Dear Friend:
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Nov. 30, 1835-Apr. 21, 1910)

| From the magical fishing village of Steveston, British Columbia to the ancient pilgrim routes of England and Europe, this winter issue of Parks & Travel Magazine takes you on a diverse travel adventure through beautiful California and the Pacific Northwest, across the historic and dramatic southwest, and into culturally rich Louisiana and Kentucky.
Stories range from a retired teacher’s walk across America to a family road trip to experience the solar eclipse; a writer’s overnight stay in a haunted hotel room to artists evacuating Dry Tortugas National Park during Hurricane Irma; and from citizen scientists documenting tropical fish to notable leaders who followed the rocky yet rewarding road to success.
