My name is Tom, and I’ve been traveling the national parks and the southwest with my family for many years. I founded National Park Adventurers/National Park Magazine in 2015. I’ve worked for multiple National Park travel guide companies over the years and have a background in outdoor recreation and marketing. I hope to see you on the trails!
