Support Our National Parks By Stunting a Parks Project X Jungmaven Hemp Tee

Jungmaven is an apparel brand known for its dedication to creating clothing made from hemp, an eco-friendly and sustainable plant and fiber. Hemp is a fuller, more robust fabric than regular cotton, so shirts made from the material are durable, long-lasting, and only get better with wear.

Jungmaven teamed up with Parks Project, a lifestyle company that partners with organizations that support U.S. National Parks, to debut a collection of four hemp-based T-shirts. The tees in the collaboration are the perfect purchase for someone who wants to give back to our National Parks while also wearing something that would work perfectly on a hike in them.

Through the Yosemite Conservancy, this tee supports visitor programs, along with the maintenance and upkeep of over 800 miles of trails throughout Yosemite National Park. For every shirt sold, one meter of trail is restored in the park — about the length of an adult human stride.

The Parks Project notes that “this tee supports the Joshua Tree National Park native plant nursery. With every five Joshua Tree products sold, we support the planting of two additional native plant species in the park,” which is great, given the fact that so many trees and portions of the park were damaged during the recent government shutdown.

Warmer weather is finally here, and now is the perfect time to dust off your spring hiking gear or best camping gear and begin exploring the great outdoors. What better place than one of our many U.S. National Parks? Some are well-known icons, while others are little-known national treasures. Regardless, all are unique and represent some of the most beautiful and scenic destinations our nation has to offer. Here are the best national parks to visit when the weather warms up.
Great Sand Dunes National Park

This otherworldly sandbox of dunes, the tallest topping 750 feet, is set against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Great Sand Dunes National Park’s remote location in Colorado, paired with several peaks exceeding 13,000 feet and a few of the coveted "fourteeners" (those exceeding 14,000 feet), make for an adventure playground. Situated at just over 8,000 feet above sea level, it’s also an ideal campground for stargazing amidst a seemingly surreal landscape.

Take a break at one of these U.S. National Parks this winter
From snowy vistas to winter sun and everything in-between, winter is a great time to explore U.S. National Parks

There's never really a bad time to visit a U.S. National Park. At any time of the year, they have plenty to offer, but some parks can be inhospitable during the height of summer thanks to massive crowds and sky-high temperatures. Winter is an especially unique time of year to explore, with landscapes and wildlife changing and adapting to the season. With fewer vehicles on the road and fewer hikers on the trail, you can feel as though the whole park is yours when you visit during what most people — wrongly — call the off-season.

National Parks have something on offer for everyone, too. Whether you're looking for wildlife or hiking trails, opportunities for winter camping, or a sightseeing break to mix up your journey to or from a ski resort. There are over four-hundred national parks to choose from in the U.S. and reducing it down to just a few for winter has been no easy task, but these — we think — are the best national parks to visit in winter.

Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Let’s begin with a big one: Gates of the Arctic National Park in Alaska. Seeing as there are no roads, trails, or established campgrounds over nearly 8.5 million untouched acres, this is a dream destination for many an outdoor lover. Campers and hikers need to make sure that they’ve planned, practiced, and planned again for the Arctic adventure, though. Hiking the wilds above the Arctic Circle is no joke.
