Imagine you're hiking through dense, green foliage in Yellowstone, the Rockies, or Glacier National Park. The air is crisp with the scent of pine and you can hear the soft whispers of a nearby stream. Suddenly, a shadow flickers and a creature emerges, so large it seems almost prehistoric. It's a moose! Your heart skips a beat as you realize you're in the presence of something truly wild and untamed. Now, this is a story for your very own Cool Moose Journal!

This handcrafted journal is made in Alexandria, VA, and the cover contains two pocket-sized notebooks that are easily replaced when you fill them up. The books are secured with an elastic cord to ensure your notes don't take a hike without you.

Department of the Interior responsibilities for national parks began with a single public reservation called Yellowstone National Park, which was established on March 1, 1872. With an increasing awareness of the need for wilderness preservation, more parks were gradually created. In order to effectively manage these national treasures, each of which were initially managed independently, the National Park Service was set up in the Department of the Interior, by an act of August 25, 1916.
