Celebrate our National Parks: Week 1

Did you know this month is the National Park Service Centennial? On August 25th, the National Park Service turns 100 and is commemorating the occasion with the Find Your Park movement, which encourages visitors to explore the country’s 407 national parks.

To celebrate, we are giving away four $50 gift cards.

To enter, follow @easternmntnsports on Instagram and share your favorite National Park image(s) with the hashtag #goEast. Unlimited entries apply, the winners will be announced at the end of the month. Good luck!

Check out a few of our favorites so far:

 

 

#NP100 Arches National Park: The name might be one of the most descriptive for a national park, but venturing down one of its many trails gives you a unique perspective of the arch-shaped rock formations, whether that’s at a distance, like @j_streeto does here, or when passing underneath. #FindYourPark
