It has been over 23 years since that first day and I still get excited to lace up my boots, put on my flat hat and get out into the park! I get the opportunity to meet new people and educate and protect our parks and its visitors. Being a Park Ranger is my passion. In January 2017, I decided that I wanted to share my passion for being a Park Ranger and my experiences in parks and began a blog. Hopefully, this will encourage people to experience the outdoors.

Do you feel that you are up for this challenge? If yes then read on. Hopefully, this article will lead you to become the future legacy of an American Icon, walk in the footsteps of Harry Yount, the “Father of the Ranger Service” and the first Park Ranger at Yellowstone National Park!…
