I Am A State Park Ambassador Because: I'm a huge fan of Utah State Parks. What strikes me about state parks is that, while they have many national and international visitors, they are often treasured assets in their local communities. The staff is often comprised of volunteers who feel a sense of stewardship for the park and want to protect it. The variety of people, programs and opportunities they offer are endless. The state parks are OUR parks, and it's time introduce them to a younger generation.

Coolest Thing I've Seen In Parks: I was recently at the Rock Cliff Nature Center at Jordanelle State Park. Indulging my curiosity, I started sneaking closer and closer to some potbellied earth-dwelling mammals poking their heads out of a hole when suddenly, I heard a hiss and a slither at my feet! I jumped about 2 feet in the air and then started laughing. While I was trying to be so sneaky, a (harmless) snake snuck up on me!
