One of the most incredible experiences I've had in the National Park System was being able to watch the total solar eclipse of 2017 at Grand Teton National Park.

Increasing costs and a lack of federal appropriations are leading to proposed increases in camping fees at Hovenweep and Natural Bridges national monuments.

“Half the park is after dark.” April 5 – 12 marks International Dark Sky Week 2021, a celebration of the vast, wondrous, starry sky above us. Perhaps you are even planning a visit to a National Park Service unit that's been designated an International Dark Sky Park. This special week also emphasizes how light pollution hampers our ability to see the stars and produces harmful consequences to all living things.

There will be a bit more national park acreage to roam beginning Thursday, when Hovenweep and Natural Bridges national monuments in Utah and Colorado open their roads, trails, and restrooms to the public.
