National Park Service officials have approved a long-term plan for managing development at the Lake area of Yellowstone National Park. The adopted plan shows a reduction in both paved acreage and RV spots from the initial proposal put forth by Yellowstone officials.

The “Peaceful Side of the Smokies” is going to be hopping May 4&5 when the Townsend in the Smokies Spring Festival arrives.

If you want to hike to a few of the Smokies’ most pyramidal, inspiring peaks—Chimney Tops— don’t target the trail Monday through Thursday from May through October 18th.
