National parks dishing up healthier fare this summer

Parks will still offer hot dogs and ice cream, but they will also serve more nutritious dishes.

They must have known I was coming to get married in Yosemite in September! If this isn’t fate I don’t know what is…

Yosemite National Park’s customers love fresh greens and tomatoes, says Robert Anderson, a chef who works for Delaware North Companies Parks and Resorts. “You get in this grand surrounding, and you’re inspired to eat healthfully. You don’t want to eat chips; you want good fuel.”

Have you been to Zion National Park out in Utah? No? GO THERE NOW. I was just out there for a wedding and it blew my mind. The red rock made for some really fun rock scrambling and some very different trail running than I’m used to. The peak season had just ended so hotel prices were quite reasonable. I highly recommend the Best Western Zion for very comfortable accommodations, or the Canyon Ranch Motel for some local rustic charm. I rented a bike for $35 for the whole day from Zion Cycles and was able to bike the whole lower part of the park from my hotel. It was so much fun!! I’ll put up more pics of the individual hikes soon.
