  • America’s Biggest, Least-Visited National Park: Wrangell-St. Elias

    America’s Biggest, Least-Visited National Park: Wrangell-St. Elias
    2026/10/29

    Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve is the largest national park in the U.S. — 13.2 million acres that almost never got protected at all. In this episode, Susan and Monica dig into the Russian explorer the park is named after, the 1978 deadline that nearly opened the land to development, and the wild story of Kennicott: a copper mining town that made $200 million in ore and then vanished almost overnight. Plus: the infamous 60-mile, pothole-filled McCarthy Road, hiking the north side's Caribou Trail, and an honest debate about whether the trip out to Kennicott is actually worth it.


    Featured: Kennicott Mining Town, McCarthy Road, Caribou Trail, Wrangell & St. Elias Mountain Ranges

  • A 99-Year Border Dispute, Solved with Concrete | Chamizal National Memorial

    A 99-Year Border Dispute, Solved with Concrete | Chamizal National Memorial
    2026/10/22

    Chamizal National Memorial doesn't look like much — until you learn a flood moved a river, stranded a piece of Mexico inside U.S. territory, and kicked off a border dispute that took 99 years, two presidents, and a concrete channel to finally settle. In this episode, Susan and Monica dig into the 1864 flood that started it all, the human cost of relocating 5,000 El Paso residents to make the border permanent, and why Chamizal is one of only two NPS sites in the country honoring a peacefully resolved international boundary dispute (the other? Washington's "Pig War" island).


    📍 Featured: Chamizal Visitor Center & Museum, the U.S.–Mexico border crossing, the only NPS site flying both flags together

    🥾 Also mentioned: San Juan Island National Historical Park (WA)

  • Manassas Battlefield: Two Battles, One Field, and the Fight to Save It

    Manassas Battlefield: Two Battles, One Field, and the Fight to Save It
    2026/10/15
    Two battles. One field. And a modern fight to keep it from being swallowed by development. In this episode of Two Chicks With Hiking Sticks, Susan and Monica head to Manassas National Battlefield Park (a.k.a. Bull Run) in Northern Virginia, site of the Civil War's first major land battle. We cover the well-to-do spectators who showed up with picnic lunches and ended up fleeing for their lives, the birth of the "Stonewall" Jackson nickname, and the Henry House, which was destroyed in the fighting and rebuilt by the family in 1870. Then we look at a side of the park you might not expect: its status as an Audubon Important Bird Area, the grassland birds it shelters, and the development pressure from data centers pressing in on its borders.
