XplorMor Team has enjoyed exploring our Nation’s parks and forests from East to West Coasts, Alaska and Hawaii. We trekked glaciers in Tongass National Forest, Alaska, observed wildlife like alligators and crocodiles in Florida’s Everglades, hiked tremendous mountains in Sequoia National Park and Inyo National Forest, and watched lava flow on the Big Island of Hawaii. We kayaked in park waters, discovered Chumash pictographs hidden in amazing rock formations, climbed obsidian cliffs, and trekked from grassy fields and rivers in low-lying valleys to rocky terrain at 14,000 feet to frozen glacier crevasses to sandy desert lands and heated lava rock ridges. What’s next?!
