On the next Outdoor Explorer we’re saying happy birthday to the national parks by airing the show on the 100th anniversary of the creation of National Park Service, which takes care of some of the nation’s most dramatic and valuable wilderness. We’ll hear a little about that history and how the centennial is being celebrated during the show, but our main emphasis is on the parks themselves. We’ll be joined by a pair of adventurers on a quest to cross all of Alaska’s vast national parks through untracked wilderness. These guys have seen the most remote parts of the national park system, and they have some tales to tell.
