Nat Park Stories

Nat Park Stories Welcome to Nat Park Stories, where every National Park has a story. The Nat Park Stories Podcast can be streamed now!

Summer Slevin is on a mission to go go all the US National Parks and talk to strangers along the way. What is Nat Park Stories? 🤔

Nat Park Stories is the idea child of Summer Slevin, travel enthusiast, nature junkie, and storyteller. 🙋‍♀️

In July, Summer is leaving in her van with her puppy to go to all the US National Parks. While at each park, she will

interview park rangers, historians, lobbyists, and know-it-alls about the past, present, and future of each park, while also interweaving personal narratives of park visitors in order to depict the impact of each park. She's hoping for National Park and Public Lands agencies to be sponsors, as well as various outdoor companies. And will also be collaborating with outdoor and nature podcasters, brand ambassadors, and bloggers. This won't just be a podcast, this will be a community of people that are and will become passionate about visiting and protecting National Parks. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Like and follow this page to see stories, behind the scenes videos of the podcast, and ideas for adventuring to all the National Parks. 👍

Nat Park Stories will be launching a Kickstarter video in May where we can raise the initial capital and spread awareness. This will tell the narrative of every park, large and small and will eventually grow into a really active and exciting community of people that get pumped about National Parks. Want to be a part of the adventure or have any stories or ideas? 💌

Before Glacier was a national park, frontier life meant skipping straight past the small talk.

In a world that always seems to want things fast, I’m more and more drawn to slowness. To wonder. To noticing the little things. The leaves, the bugs, the sun between trees. And stand in awe that I get to experience such beauty during my short time here on this planet.

Haleakala National Park felt like a dream. ☁️

Name another Nat Park where you can jump into the clouds, see massive canyons, chase waterfalls, see rainbows, walk through bamboo and giant trees, and wander through the high desert WHILE looking at the ocean.

It’s truly a beautiful, unbelievable, and underrated Park.

Have you been?

If not, I hope you go explore it and report back. 🫡

Rocky and I are off having another adventure - this time life has taken us to the heart of the Red Woods in Northern California. We just moved here last week and are hoping to lay down some roots for a little while.

I’m listening to the interviews I did on the road - almost 100 of them! And writing about each park through Nat Park Stories.

I think this will be a perfect place to reflect and write about the adventures we had and the stories we heard during our year on the road, meeting strangers in the most beautiful places in America.

Stay tuned and be well wherever you are. ❤️
