The National Park Service at Joshua Tree National Park in California is proposing to increase the cost of camping in the high desert park.

One of two climbers stranded near the roof of Denali National Park died about two days before climbing rangers were able to reach the snow cave they were huddled in struggling with hypothermia, though the other was taken off the mountain early Friday.

White-nose syndrome, a disease often fatal to bats, has turned up in Carlsbad Cavern at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico.

Two climbers, exhausted and battling hypothermia, remained stuck Thursday high on Denali where they were awaiting rescue in a "crude snow cave." Climbing rangers from Denali National Park were awaiting a break in the weather at a high camp at 17,200 feet on the 20,310-foot mountain, roughly 2,400 feet below the stranded climbers.
