National Park Service Regional Director Mike Reynolds announced the selection of Brandon Flint as the superintendent for a group of three parks in Wyoming and Utah. The park group includes Golden Spike National Historical Park, Fossil Butte National Monument and Timpanogos Cave National Monument. Flint has worked for the National Park Service (NPS) for more than 20 years, most recently as the superintendent at Golden Spike National Historical Park. He will begin his new assignment on June 19. “Brandon has already built strong relationships in the community in his current role as superintendent of Golden Spike National Historical Park,” said Reynolds. “His leadership experience, in combination with local connections and knowledge of the area make him an excellent candidate to lead this group of parks.”   As superintendent, Flint will supervise site managers at Timpanogos Cave, Fossil Butte and Golden Spike. Through the new structure, the superintendent and site managers will collaborate on opportunities to strengthen staff retention, provide high-quality visitor experiences, protect resources, manage infrastructure planning and support stakeholder engagement.   

“I am honored to be selected as superintendent of these three incredible national parks,” said Flint.  “I look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationships with our partners and local communities, and welcoming visitors as they explore and learn about the significant natural, cultural and historic features of each park.”
