How are lines of communication like with other national parks? Do you guys share information/knowledge or are you guys quite independent across different parks?

Thanks for the response and ama, really interesting. As a follow up, 75 engineers across NPS seems like an extremely low number to me, especially based on how diverse your responsibilities can be (based on someone else's question).

How are projects in parks without engineers handled? And how do projects for a park become tasked or prioritized, especially during busier seasons?

With your team being stretched thin, have you ever found yourself leading projects you didn't feel prepared for? The idea of designing infrastructure that is built to endure that many people, work with uncontrollable natural formations, not impact local wildlife, etc. sounds like quite a challenge for engineers inexperienced in this field.
