National Park Ambassadors

They maintain habitats, educate visitors, and preserve history. They're rangers, museum curators, engineers, volunteers, landscape architects, and fire fighters. They're the treasured stewards of our national parks. They're National Park Ambassadors.

Behind every national park is a team of ordinary people who are dedicated to maintaining the extraordinary. They may not wear capes, but they're heroes in our book. Meet the individuals who protect our parks and send thanks to an NPS employee or volunteer who made your last visit extra special.

Thank you, All GCNP Park Ambassadors.My husband and I visited GCNP in April 2024 and had the most wonderful time walking the South Rim trail in snow flurries. We spoke with some Park Ambassadors standing (in the flurries) at an information table outside the visitor center. It was a cold and windy day, but they were smiling and interacting with visitors, and like us, delighting in the beauty of the day. We had a delightful day, the light was incredible, clouds with snow, dark clouds, and sun alternated throughout our visit, creating incredible views that came and went unexpectedly. Not everyone gets to see the Grand Canyon with sun and snow flurries at the same time. The park was clean, all the Park Ambassadors were smiling and polite, answered questions easily and enhanced our visit. We were glad to visit on a "less crowded" day, and thoroughly enjoyed our adventure at GCNP.
