American Samoa National Park - #40!




Our hotel lobby TRADE WINDS is FULL of beautiful FRESH flowers. It looks like a funeral home! 


Views as we drive to the American Samoa National Park Visitor's Center.


We picked our hike for the day.


Nice park rangers here! Men traditionally wear skirts and large shirts.


This couple from Colorado completed a visit to ALL 63 parks. They also have visited all of the national parks 412 units. I believe it means that NPS is in charge of not only parks, monuments, etc. She must have been a teacher, she was so excited. She even completes the jr. ranger programs and collects the jr. ranger merit badges! Another couple was from Sacramento. They had their picture taken too with a certificate for completing the 63 parks. Someday, their kids will throw that certificate away! But like our little cancelation book, it's the journey & memories not the passport!


It is hot, humid, green & growing. And yes, I do hike with a fanny pack:) 





Muddy hike, so much for that pedicure!




Ended the hike with a trip to the laundromat!
