Yosemite National Park

Three Days In Redwood National And State Parks

While on assignment for the Traveler, photographer Rebecca Latson visited Redwood National and State Parks in California. She returned from her trip with many photos and the realization that while Redwoods is mostly about the trees, this collaboration of national and state parks also offers prairie and coastal venues, all with enough to do and see for at least three days.

Declines In Whitebark Pine Could Prompt Declines Of Clark's Nutcracker In Parks

Clark's Nutcrackers are ubiquitous to many Western national parks. When you set up camp in the backcountry they are quick to arrive, and they're not shy about begging for a treat or even stealing one. But they could vanish from some of those park settings if whitebark pines vanish, according to new research. And without the birds, new stands of whitebark pine might never get planted.

National Parks Traveler Episode 81: Yosemite Turns Into Assateague, And Species Extinction

Certainly, the large landscape parks such as Yellowstone and Yosemite and Grand Canyon offer the habitat many species require. But parks are slowly being hemmed in by development, making it harder and harder for species to follow their natural paths across the landscape.
