Gem of the Sierra

Last year the National Park Service took the plunge into becoming “interactive” on their NPS.GOV web site. All across the country, park rangers are turning into podcasters. Hundreds of brief audio and video programs are up on park websites and on iTunes giving visitors a new national park experience. People can learn about park resources, take a guided tour, get help planning trips, and, best of all, meet actual rangers.

“While nothing can replace a personal experience in a national park, we think our podcasts will enhance people’s trips or give them the opportunity to learn about a park that they can’t visit,” said Mary A. Bomar, Director of the National Park Service. “Whether people download them to portable devices or watch them on their computers, these free electronic presentations give us another way to serve park enthusiasts of all ages.”

The National Park Service puts together a 16-minute film showcasing the three unique regions of Kings Canyon National Park—the Kings Canyon, Grant Grove, and the High Sierra.
