Celebrate the National Parks 100th Birthday with Carolina Pet

Today marks the 100th birthday of our National Park Service and they’re celebrating all week with FREE admission to all 412 national parks from August 25 through August 28.

How better to celebrate this occasion than a walk through the canyon of Zion National Park? Watching the mountain goats scale the glaciers in Glacier National Park? Taking a swamp boat ride through the Everglades or having a picnic lunch under a stand of aspen in the Rocky Mountains?

Of course, the scenes that make up the national parks have been here much longer than 100 years. In Yellowstone, geysers have been spouting mineral-rich water into the sky like clockwork for millions of years. Glacier Bay has kept its wild coastal preserve and sheltered fjords for centuries. Dinosaurs once walked among the now Petrified Forest of Arizona and the redwood trees of Sequoia have called the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains home for thousands of years.

If you love animals, you can’t help but love the natural parks they call home.

Today is the day we should be out among nature, not trapped in our cubicles at work. But if you can’t get out, we have some other ways you can celebrate with your pets.

1. Celebrating US National Parks with today’s Google Doodle #GoogleDoodle

2. Take a Virtual Tour of each park with a virtual eTour or eHike from the National Park Service.

3. Locate your favorite National Park at findyourpark.com/find

4. Pick up an annual pass to the national park system (and don’t forget your senior discount and/or military discounts!)

5. Head outdoors!

And to encourage you to get your pets out for a hike, we’re talking about an entire collection of pet sweaters, blankets, beds, and more. This beautiful collection features patterns from 10 state parks created by Carolina Pet.

Carolina Pet’s collection was inspired by the beautiful National Park blanket patterns, which were designed and woven by Pendleton during 1916 in their US-based mills. That same year, the National Park Service was founded to support and expand our national treasures.

To coincide with the Centennial Celebration of the National Park Service in 2016, they took these patterns and translated them onto pet-friendly fabrics that can be machine washed. Each item carries a beautiful woven label of the park it represents along with the Warrantied to be a Pendleton brand label.

If nature doesn’t inspire anyone to head out on the trail, this collection might do the trick.

Your purchase provides a donation to the National Park Foundation to support priority national park projects to help preserve and protect these American treasures.
