Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is officially open for the season. A grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park recently reminded visitors why there’s no such thing as “bear-proof.” Glacier National Park is temporarily offering a Many Glacier Day Hiker Shuttle as a way for day hikers to access Many Glacier Valley from July 1, 2025 to September 21, 2025 during construction in the Swiftcurrent area. Today is Endangered Species Day. Many species, through the diligent efforts of scientists and conservations have returned from the brink of extinction. For the next few weeks, hikers and bikers can explore Going-to-the-Sun Road without worrying about cars and traffic. Don't miss it!
