A Video A Day... National Parks Challenge

Conrad Anker, professional mountaineer, lends his insight into the importance of our national parks system as he leads a groups of skiers on an ascent of Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park, Alaska.

The filmography of this movie is awe-inspiring.  The landscape is unearthly and Anker's passion for his profession is clear in his narration.  I'm jealous that he gets to take part in opportunities like this on a regular basis.

"It's a great thing in the United States that we started the national parks system; it could be one of our greats contributions to the world.  And it's there for future generations to come, to take in the wonders, to breath in the fresh air, and to return rejuvenated and excited for life."

This video will inspire you to put Denali on your bucket list of adventures and motivate the planner in you to start making it possible.  Dream big and support our National Parks.
