Ep 63 National Parks with Ranger Connie Lau

America's true national treasures are our National Parks! Stewards of our parks are the thousands of men and women working for the National Park Services as rangers.  Today we will be speaking with Ranger Connie Lau who is currently working at the Grand Canyon but works at Yosemite in Summer. She will tell us about her journey, some of her experiences as a park ranger, as well as some of the amazing contributions that Asian Americans had on Yosemite.

***minor CORRECTION, Connie mentioned that it took 6 months to finish Tioga Road, it actually only took 4 months!  Amazing!***
