On this trip, I visited four national parks (The Badlands, Yellowstone, Glacier, and Theodore Roosevelt). Here are a few suggestions I have after my visit.
Read the paperwork that you are given when entering the park. There’s a ton of interesting information in there!
Beware of wildlife and respect the distance guidelines the parks have set for visitors!
Carry bear spray when hiking and know how to use it. We hiked a lot of popular trails and visited the parks in July and we still saw fresh bear scat on the trails and heard of a handful of bear sightings while we were hiking.
Ask the park rangers all of your questions and ask for suggestions on things to do or see in the park. They are the most knowledgeable people on the subject.
