• When hiking, the early bird gets the face full of spider webs.

• RT by @NatlParkService: It’s #WorldWaterDay! 💧Water is life. We may have many parks that preserve land, but what about our waters? Indeed, 🌊 88 ocean and coastal parks are conserved for us all to take in the wonders of our nation's ocean and maritime heritage ➡️ https://www.nps.gov/subjects/oceans/index.htm #NationalParks

• RT by @NatlParkService: Due to significant tephra fall from the eruption, the summit of Kīlauea is closed. There may be additional unannounced closures. Hwy 11 is closed between mile markers 24 and 40 due to tephra falling on the road. Avoid the area. NPS Photo

• 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.
