About

The National Park Playoff was inspired by cabin fever and the loss of March Madness. Created and run by Storey Clayton, a writer and blogger currently pursuing his MFA in Creative Nonfiction at West Virginia University in Morgantown. Guest posts by Colin Phipps, a National Park nerd and senior History student at the University of Denver with a focus on the National Park Service. Colin has been to more than 25 parks and Storey to 23 – both aspire to visit them all! This post explains the whole project.
