You are invited to visit the world of America’s National Parks, presented by Tom Wright of Uniontown, Ohio. In 2023, Tom visited all 428 national parks. Yes, all of them. His “One Year... One Quest” adventure was one for the record books, logging 125,000 miles to experience America’s heritage at its front lines. From Independence Hall to Yosemite National Park to Alaska’s 23 parks — and every park in between — come learn about the cultural, historical, and natural jewels that make up America’s fabric, preserved in its parks.
If you have ever dreamed of trekking to these landmarks, Tom will provide insight on how to reach them, even the most remote, found in Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the six parks above the Arctic Circle. Hiking poles, sunscreen, and boots are not required to attend, but be prepared to learn and ask plenty of questions.
