Malia Obama and Barack’s father-daughter hike has dad inspired for Earth Day

To mark Earth Day, former President  Barack Obama  shared a beautiful picture of a throwback hike with daughter  Malia  during the family visit to Yosemite Park in 2016. In the stunning picture we can see father and daughter framed by the most incredible scenery. Malia and  Sasha ’s dad smiles at his eldest daughter as the pair chat on the top of a mountain in the middle of the nature haven in California’s Sierra Nevada.

“When I think of the world I want to see in the future for my daughters -and the children across the world - I’m reminded that there is so much more we need to do to take care of the one planet we’ve got, and it’s up to all of us to demand and lead that change,” writes the former President alongside the beautiful picture.

Barack Obama and his family traveled to Yosemite four years ago to mark the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, becoming the second President in visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site after John F. Kennedy. Since his days in the White House, the 58-year-old has been committed to environmental causes, so it’s only natural he wanted to raise awareness on on such an special date.
