Dear Friend:
"...I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air." Nathaniel Hawthorne

We’re excited to kick off our new weekly series of specially curated and themed Big Blend Magazines with this fall issue of Parks & Travel Magazine that travels from the historic and charming Northeast to the outdoor wonders of the Southeast USA. Be captivated by the fall season in Camden, Maine. Find out how the city of Boston has evolved while maintaining its revolutionary roots. Delight in the beauty of Washington D.C.’s lily and lotus blossoms. Enjoy a day trip adventure from Asheville to Chimney Rock State Park in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Take to the waters and soak up the diverse history of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Discover the conservation legacy of Caroline Dorman in Briarwood Nature Preserve, Louisiana. And explore natural Northern Florida and the sugary white sandy beaches of Pensacola.
This issue also features an interview with acclaimed painter Alice Leese and her husband Rob, who discuss their one-month artist-in-residence experience off-grid on Loggerhead Key in Dry Tortugas National Park. Plus, photography expert Scott Kelby shares some travel photography advice that’s featured in his new book, and Ian Levin explains how the National Parks Trust’s awesome and free ParkPassport App 2.0 works.
