How do you recognize a park ranger? By their iconic National Park Service uniform, of course! But it’s more than just a grey shirt and green bottoms: A ranger needs a hat 🤠 the classic straw flat-hat, breezy summer sunhat, or stylish baseball cap keeps a ranger protected from the sun and identifiable to anyone who needs us! A ranger needs some boots 🥾 but they don’t have to be fancy. A good pair of brown hiking boots that can handle all kinds of duties from working in the field to giving talks

The ranger uniform brings with it stoicism and professionalism...we should have told these rangers that. We kid of course! Our park staff is diligent, hardworking, and always there to help the public but that doesn't mean we don't have a misstep or two now and again. Rangers are human too after all; sometimes we trip, we flub our words, or we get cut off by traffic (over and over and over again). But no matter what, our workforce is here for you!
