☆ What to Know Before Booking a National Park Trip This Summer
  + stars: | 2024-04-22 | by ( Lauren Matison | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
In 2023, the seashores, lakeshores, battlefields, historic sites, monuments and more that make up the National Park Service had 325.5 million visits, an increase of 4 percent from the year before. The National Park Service director, Charles F. Sams III, praised the surge of interest in “learning our shared American story throughout the hidden gems of the National Parks System.”Expecting an even greater turnout in 2024, the Park Service and Recreation.gov, the booking platform for federal land reservations, have implemented new measures to streamline the park experience, manage overcrowding and safeguard the environment.

☆ We spent over $900 to go on a bucket-list hike hidden in the Grand Canyon region. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced.

A quick internet search led me to pursue my dream bucket-list trip at Havasupai Falls. The first step in the journey was securing reservationsThe first part of planning my trip was securing permits to visit Havasupai Falls. We crossed the bridge one by one and ventured on until we got our first jaw-dropping look at the cascading Havasu Falls. AdvertisementOur favorite hike of the trip was on the Havasu Falls Trail, which stretches from Mooney Falls to Beaver Falls. We consoled each other by swearing that we'd be back again to see Havasupai Falls, a place we'd fallen hopelessly and insatiably in love with.

☆ I hiked The Wave, the epic US trail that only 64 people can hike a day
  + stars: | 2024-02-02 | by ( Arlene Salisbury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
The hike has unmarked trails and can be dangerous, so the number of permits issued is limited. We had to get permits before we could hike The Wave. Arlene SalisburyFor me, securing a permit was the most challenging aspect of hiking The Wave, as only 64 are issued daily. Of the 64 permits, 48 are allocated through an advanced online lottery, while the remaining 16 are available via a mobile-based daily virtual lottery. A few days before our hike, I entered the mobile lottery on behalf of my entire party using the Recreation.gov app.

HotelTonight is a great resource for discount hotel rooms, with the home page search defaulting to “Tonight,” though you can book 100 days out. Unlocking the Daily Drop feature, available once a day for only 15 minutes, offers further discounts — but nonrefundable rates — on a specific hotel. Hotels.com shows deals directly on its home page, showing a range of destinations but limited to the upcoming weekend. Hipcamp has a dedicated Labor Day weekend section, or try your luck on ReserveAmerica and Recreation.gov, the booking site for the National Park Service and other federal lands. In general, Labor Day weekend centers on domestic travel, or three-day-friendly destinations, said Katy Nastro, a travel expert with Going.

☆ Why missing one $2 expense could derail your whole national park trip

What this means: Travelers can't necessarily bank on showing up spontaneously to a national park and getting the experience they desire. Record park visitation spurred reservationsTourists crowd into the Midway Geyser Basin on July 14, 2021 at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. One — Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas — saw record visitors last year. Overall visits to national parks jumped by 5% in 2022 versus the year prior, to 312 million recreation visits. These national parks require vehicle reservationsTraffic heading into Yosemite Village on Oct. 6, 2019, in Yosemite National Park, California.
☆ As National Parks Visits Surge, Booz Allen Benefits
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Allison Pohle | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Visitors driving into Montana’s Glacier National Park this summer must buy a vehicle pass on Recreation.gov. The pass is free, but visitors pay a $2 fee to book the reservation. Visitors might assume that, like entrance fees, the reservation charges help pay for improving trails around the park’s Running Eagle Falls or expanding the park’s volunteer program. But a chunk of the money ends up with consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.

☆ Natural vs. artificial Christmas tree: Which option is better for climate?
  + stars: | 2022-11-25 | by ( Rachel Ramirez | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Christopher Dilts/Bloomber/Getty ImagesIt’s easy to imagine that reusing an artificial tree year after year is the more sustainable option. The American Christmas Tree Association, a nonprofit that represents artificial tree manufacturers, commissioned WAP Sustainability Consulting for a study in 2018 that found the environmental impact of an artificial tree is better than a real tree if you use the fake tree for at least five years. “Planting, fertilizing and watering were taken into account for real trees, which have an approximate field cultivation period of seven to eight years.”What are the benefits of real trees? Nathan Howard/Getty ImagesOn average, it takes seven years to fully grow a Christmas tree, according to the National Christmas Tree Association. About 15,000 farms grow Christmas trees in the US alone, employing over 100,000 people either full or part-time in the industry, according to the National Christmas Tree Association.
