A stretch of unusually warm weather has forced federal officials to suspend researchers' annual wolf-moose count in Isle Royale National Park for the first time in more than six decades. Isle Royale is a 134,000-acre (54,200-hectare) island situated in far western Lake Superior between Grand Marais, Minnesota, and Thunder Bay, Canada. The park is a wildlife biologist's dream - it offers a rare opportunity to observe wolves and moose acting naturally without human influence. Researchers have conducted an annual survey of the park's wolf and moose population since 1958. She said warm temperatures have left the ice around the island unsafe for the scientists' ski-planes to land.

Some US national parks require tourists to make a reservation before visiting. Popular destinations like Yosemite National Park and Zion National Park are on the list. The scenic sights and outdoorsy activities attract millions to US national parks, typically open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Although there are 428 national park sites, there are only 63 that exclusively have "national park" in their name. The reservations typically cost $2, excluding Shenandoah National Park, Haleakalā National Park, Zion National Park, and Acadia National Park.
