Record numbers of people are flocking to America's national parks — at a time when many are facing staffing shortages. In Yosemite and Zion, staff are reporting an increase in litter, toilet paper, and human feces on trails. trib.al/wU246tk

Feeling anxious? Take a moment to listen to the sounds of nature — here or anywhere around you. Research done in national parks has found that uninterrupted sounds like falling rain and bird chatter can improve your mood and lower stress. npr.org/joy

Tip Tuesday: To avoid crowds and traffic, venture into the park early or late in the day (generally, before 10 a.m. and after 3 p.m.). It is also a good time to see wildlife, fog in geyser basins, or a spectacular sunrise or sunset!

Can't see the stars from where you live? You’re not alone. With brighter urban areas, >80% of the U.S. population can no longer see the Milky Way from home. @NatlParkService works to protect parks from the increasingly prevalent effects of light pollution. npca.org/articles/1806-celeb…

Sequoia National Park turns 130 today! Despite the natural longevity of giant sequoias, early conservationists recognized they needed protection. In 1890 Congress established Sequoia National Park as a permanent refuge for sequoias, becoming the nation's 2nd national park.

Night sky viewing in Joshua Tree National Park is always spectacular, but until July 23rd, you may spot something extra special in our dark skies! Comet #NEOWISE can be seen hovering just below the Big Dipper right after sunset and late into the evening. Photo: NPS / E. Hassell
