This episode will take you to two iconic National Parks and a bonus trip to the summit of Pikes Peak! Beautifully written entries by Alexander Davidson, a traveling preacher and singer, will make you feel as if you were there with him. His visit in 1905 was in an era when the Parks were far more untamed than present day. Transportation was much slower, guest services far less refined, boundaries less established, but the natural wonders and beauty were there to be seen and experienced by those brave enough to visit!
