BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox manager Alex Cora has been proclaiming recently that he didn't think his team was far from putting good baseball together following a dismal stretch of games.

Those days of optimism appear to be dwindling after Boston's latest setback." trips focused on protecting these revered landscapes, launching this June. Blending the concept of adventure with activism, each trip will be led by a professional guide and guest activist for the first time to lead in-depth discussions on the importance of our parks while experiencing them firsthand.

"We are at such a critical moment for our parks – arguably one of the most critical moments for our parks in my lifetime – where we're seeing billion dollar cuts to our National Park Service and the stewardship of that land, while simultaneously might be seeing a future where generations aren't afforded what we all have access when we were there," said Wawa Gatheru, one of the Active-ism trip hosts and founder of the nonprofit Black Girl Environmentalist that works to close the gap of climate justice and education.The Active-ism trips will take travelers to two of the most iconic U.S. national parks, the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. There, they'll hike, connect with local communities, and have discussions guided by their activist host on topics such as what challenges parks are currently facing and how we can empower ourselves to make change.

"Just going to our national parks is a form of activism, going and experiencing will mean you're more passionate, more curious, and will take more action afterwards," said Leigh Barnes, president of the Americas for Intrepid Travel. The company will also donate $50,000 to nongovernmental organizations protecting the U.S. national parks. "Not only do we have great people leading and adding to them, but just by going and experiencing it, you're going to be creating positive change."The Active-ism trips are also more affordable, up to $600 cheaper than other Intrepid trips. The group size will max out at 10 people for a more intimate travel environment.
