Don't miss it! Two people are dead after falling from a cliff at Inspiration Point in Bryce Canyon National Park. Isle Royale National Park is officially open for the 2025 season! After receiving about 54,000 recommendations, local elementary school children were the final deciders for the names of Jackie and Shadow’s chicks. We’ve been hosting our own National Park Madness this past week! Once upon a time in our national parks, rangers fed bears pancakes and tourists tossed candy from their cars. “Bear shows” were the main event—and the bears knew it.
