Welcome to National Park Ventures!
Who We Are
Hello! We’re Jeff and Mary Ellen Powell, and we are on a venture to visit all the national parks in the US. We’re off to a good start, having visited 18 national parks in the past 10 years (some of them multiple times). We’ll share everything we experience – tips, suggestions, what to do, what to avoid, etc. Follow along and join the fun! Learn more about us by clicking here.
