Happy 150th Birthday, Yellowstone!

You don't look a day over 100 (just kidding). "On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River."

Your National Parks RV Camping Getaway Plan

More people are leaping into the RV lifestyle every year. They’re exploring national parks in comfort, but all that extra traffic makes spontaneous road trips to the parks largely a thing of the past, at least during the busy summer season. With more rigs on the road than campsites to accommodate them, RVers like me are constantly competing for a scant number of RV-friendly campsites. I learned this lesson the hard way when I arrived at Yellowstone without reservations.

Federal Judge Orders Endangered Species Act Protection For Gray Wolves

A federal judge on Thursday restored Endangered Species Act protections for the gray wolf across much of the country, ruling that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2020 removed the protections based on two core populations of the canid, not on the species' status in a significant portion of its historic range and did not consider whether that range was needed to achieve full recovery.
