Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
We’re just about to close the books on 2022, and what a year in the National Park System it has been. We’ve seen catastrophic flooding, drought, and crowds, lots of crowds.
Today though, we’re going to focus on some of the positives about being out and about in the parks. Editor Kurt Repanshek is joined by contributing editors Lynn Riddick and Kim O’Connell to discuss their favorite adventures and stories from the parks this past year.
Our climate is changing, and not subtly. And it's having a great and visible impact on the National Park System. We saw flooding and fires at many units of the National Park System this year, as well as historic droughts thought to be the worst in 1,200 years.
Everglades National Park was somewhat of an anomaly when it was authorized in Congress back in 1934. It marked the first time that federal land was set aside for its abundance of plant and animal species, rather than for its breathtaking scenic views.
