Wonderful, beautiful place to visit. The only National Park dedicated to painting. The Ranger who greeted us at the visitors building was so happy and welcoming! She even posed in her official uniform and hat with us. There is a very informative film and tour as well as walking trails to a beautiful lake. A must visit!

There must to learn here about a famous artist, which in turn will help in appreciating the art that was created from the special landscape at this place. The Park Service has done a great job to upgrade this site and include more of the buildings that form part of the history. Well worth a visit.
