Yosemite National Park

Fall's Brightest Colors Descending on National Parks

With Fall officially under way, it won't be too long before the season's most spectacular colors are daubed, stroked, and splashed across the national park system.

The bad news is that if you don't already have a room reservation, you probably won't find a vacancy in any of the well-known fall foliage parks.

The Secret Life of Drugs in Parks

I was inspired recently to write an article about the problems drugs bring to the parks when I visited Olympic National Park earlier this summer.

I was told a story by a long-time law enforcement ranger that surprised me, and made me realize the burden to the resource they represent.

Going Above and Beyond; Stewardship in the National Parks

Parks are famous as travel destinations, but for many of us, they represent more than just a road-trip. This fall, rock-climbers in Yosemite, backcountry hikers in Olympic, and students in Kentucky and Tennessee are gathering together in their favorite parks to give back to the places which have provided so much for them. You are welcome to join in.
