I've visited nearly every US national park and love hiking. However, many national parks can be enjoyed without hiking. In fact, the National Park Service saw over 325 million visits in 2023 — the highest visitation since 2017. Although most national parks offer a variety of activities, some are definitely more hiker-friendly than others. As someone who's been to almost every US national park, I've found that many have incredible hiking opportunities as well as some of the best views from viewpoints or parking lots.

Not only did homeschooling seem difficult and intimidating, but as a former teacher, I loved that my kids were in school.

In central Chile, not far from where the Andes Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, a vast swath of pristine wilderness is changing hands under the most unusual circumstances. Roberto Hagemann, a Chilean businessman who owns the 325,000-acre property, has agreed to sell the land to his longtime adversaries, a band of upstart environmentalists who spent years thwarting his efforts to develop the property. It is a landmark transaction that will preserve some of the most ecologically significant territory in South America. The deal is also a case study in modern-day conservation. At a moment when ecologically sensitive lands are under threat around the globe, it takes a unique confluence of legal, financial and political resources — plus a bit of luck — to protect them from relentless development.
