We see grandeur and stark beauty almost everywhere we look in our National Parks, Forests, and Monuments. It’s why we visit them ourselves. And it’s why millions come every year from other regions and countries. Our priceless lands offer stunning vistas and life-changing encounters with nature. These places can get crowded, and their infrastructures wear down and out over time.
We have been working since our earliest days as a firm, improving facilities and protecting nature. The goal is always to give visitors opportunities to explore at their own pace, while protecting delicate habitat. It requires interdisciplinary collaboration, grounded in a sustainable ethos — and typically, gestures so subtle that they just get out of the way.
We ask ourselves, “How would we want to feel this place for the first time?” And then we let the nature of the place do the talking.
