Today we kick off National Parks Week in the United States. The parks are a great way to experience getting outside, from Maine to Hawaii and Alaska to the U.S. Virgin Islands. But Mikaela Ruland wasn’t always a national parks person. They seemed kind of soft to a climber/skier who came from a line of mountaineers. So, what changed for her? Ruland gets into it in this national parks love letter for [@outside](https://flipboard.com/@outside ). And the second link points to the National Parks Foundation's donation page:
