A big pot of money is set aside by the National Park Foundation to tell a more complete American story.

If you want to swap out, temporarily, the feel of HO-gauge model trains in your basement, plan a visit to Golden Spike National Historical Park to catch the big boys in action during the year-end Steam Festival.

The plan would have allowed local land managers of wilderness areas to heavily regulate climbing anchors.

Permitting the Ambler Road through Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve; giving the state of Alaska control over fish and wildlife, including within National Park System units; and discarding the National Park Service's practice of managing lands "eligible" for wilderness as official wilderness are among the requests Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has made to President-elect Donald Trump's transition team.
