This Vacation Club Now Offers a 'Hiking Concierge' for Guests Staying Near National Parks

The lodging company partnered with Ash Nudd, a former park ranger and creator of the Dirt In My Shoes hiking blog, to create the hiking concierge package. Each package includes a personalized video from Nudd with expert tips on navigating national parks and an access code to download a detailed park itinerary on the Dirt In My Shoes website. Guests will receive customized recommendations for what to do while in the various parks as well as itineraries, packing tips, and more.

“Millions of people are flocking to national parks each year to witness the natural beauty and awe-inspiring sights this country has to offer, which means [the parks] are busier than ever,” Nudd said in a traveler-facing statement. “As the official WorldMark by Wyndham Hiking Concierge, I will provide you with access to a designated park itinerary that helps you avoid the crowds and tips for seeing the best sights, helping you make the most of your vacation.”
