Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is the latest park to announce its closure to the public, with staff saying the park would be closed beginning Sunday.

It gets woefully hot in West Texas during the summer months, with temperatures routinely in the mid-90s and a hot, glaring sun shining down on Big Bend National Park staff and visitors alike. Yet while park staff five years ago invested a quarter-million dollars in air-conditioning units for offices and shade shelters for campgrounds, the equipment was never installed, according to an Inspector General's investigation.

Meteorology is being factored into the future of visitation at Big Bend National Park, at least when it comes to finding a room in the rugged and sprawling swath of Chihuahuan ecosystem protected by the park in West Texas.
