With more than 400 units in the National Park System, there's always something that deserves to be written about on a daily basis here at the Traveler. And while we'll continue to work to provide diverse content as much as possible, we'd also like to know what stories specifically you'd like to read about in 2018.
More park profiles, such as the one we produced earlier this year on Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona? Or maybe more issue-oriented pieces, such as the look at Yellowstone National Park's brucellosis issue with bison and the companion piece on returning bison to Western landscapes?
Along those lines, which parks deserve more journalistic love? What parks would you like to see three-day itineraries on, similar to our 3 Days In Big Bend National Park feature?
We do have an active list of stories to tackle, in addition to the daily developments that crop up across the park system, but we'd venture that you have some unique ideas you'd like to see developed on these pages. So, please let us know in the comment section.

Park stuff.
Glad to see Zinke is participating in the discussion here. BTW Ryan, will you be spending the holidays overseas on a private jet or simply flying back to your mtn home on the taxpayer dime?
I would like to read more hard news about the parks, national park service and Interior Department. Perhaps the Traveler could run an interview with Zinke.
I would like to hear of any plans to re-open the Doughton Park facilities; the lodge, camping, supplies store, coffee shop, etc. This is one of the most beautiful and interesting places on the Parkway.
If folks are interested, I could contribute a couple of articles on things such as setting a "visitor carrying capacity" for parks, and maybe Al could contribute articles on history of parks?
I'd certainly be interested, tomp. We need to hear much more from people who are familiar with the inside stories of our parks today.
