• RT by @NatlParkService: March 1, 1872. An act of Congress. A new idea. A place set aside for the benefit and enjoyment of the people. 154 years later — still wild. Still inspiring. Still Yellowstone.

• Trails often look flatter on the map.

• R to @NatlParkService: They look shorter too. Before you hit the trail, take an honest look at everyone in your group (yes, including yourself) and choose a hike you can all finish with smiles instead of expressions of resentment. Flat and easy? Gentle rolling hills? A little elevation for bragging rights? A loop around the visitor center? Forget the trail and have a picnic? Do what feels right. Not sure where to start? Check a park’s website for trail descriptions, difficulty ratings, and current conditions, or ask a ranger.

• R to @NatlParkService: What are some of your favorite park trails, especially the ones that didn’t leave you questioning all your life choices?

• Crocheting just for the halibut! Unwind (and hook some fun) with these crochet patterns. No strings attached…well, maybe a few yarn ones. Whether you're crafting a keepsake, ocean-inspired decor, or just fishin' for a new project, these easy-to-medium projects are perfect for beginners and wildlife fans alike.

• Betty Reid Soskin, the trailblazing National Park Service ranger who became the oldest active ranger until her retirement at age 100, passed away peacefully Sunday morning surrounded by family. She was 104. Thank you for your service, Ranger Betty.
