Fall Spectacular: Fall Colors From a National Park Lodge

A disadvantage of living in South Georgia is the scarcity of fall colors as the days grow cooler and the nights become longer. The glorious reds, bright yellows, and vivid oranges produced by oaks, maples, cottonwoods, sumac, and other broadleaved trees and shrubs are in short supply where we live. Having both grown up in the Midwest, we miss the changing of the colors during the fall seasons.

PEER Questions David Vela's Qualifications To Lead National Park Service

President Trump's nominee to lead the National Park Service worked behind the scenes to see 40,000 acres of wilderness quality lands in Big Cypress National Preserve opened for off-road vehicles, was less than transparent in pushing through approvals for cell tower locations in Grand Teton National Park, and failed to protect park resources for overcrowding despite longstanding congressional directives to do so, according to an advocacy group.

Essay | Plan, Think, And Don’t Be Stupid In A National Park

Photographer Rebecca Latson recently completed a 3-week road trip and move from southeast Texas up to central Washington State. During that time, she visited five national parks. In those parks, she saw some pretty stupid stuff such as litter, people driving faster than the posted speed limit, and poor choices in hiking footwear, to name a few things. Rebecca wrote an article of her observations, which are a good reminder for us all to do some planning and be a little more thoughtful of how we treat our national parks as guests.
