Recent reports found that at least $67 million in National Park Service entrance fees have been redirected toward renovation (“beautification”) projects in Washington, D.C., including ornamental fountains and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ahead of Trump’s 4th of July celebrations. All the while, our national parks are facing major staffing shortages, deferred maintenance backlogs, and budget cuts. 

😡 According to the report, more than 75% of NPS recreation fees between December 2025 and March 2026 went toward these D.C. projects. (Note: that’s 75% of the 20% of what’s allowed to go to sites without entry fees) ‼️

This man is stealing from the American people. But then again, what did we expect from a felon? 

‼️ Want to help? ‼️
* Visit during off-peak times and consider delaying your park visit until shoulder season
* Pick up after yourself (and others)
* Plan ahead & prepare
* Follow the rules
* Give rangers a smile & be kind
* Leave wildlife alone
* Learn the history of the land you’re on
* Show up to ranger programs
* Say thank you or write thank you notes
* Call your representatives!!!!!!
* Support park organizations like the National Parks Conservation Association and National Park Foundation
* Follow your favorite parks online
* Shop local in gateway communities
* Use your platform to spread accurate, responsible information

Newborn camping essentials✨🏕️👶🏼

1️⃣ Bouncer - Keeps baby entertained + gives you a safe place to put them down. We LOVE the @babybjorn bouncer (we got ours off Marketplace), but any bouncer you use at home will also work at camp!

2️⃣ Portable sound machine - If your baby sleeps better with white noise, I highly recommend getting a @hatchforbabysleep Go sound machine. We use it both at home and while camping/traveling.

3️⃣ Travel bassinet - I’m very anxious when it comes to safe sleep, so the snuggle nest from @babydelightinc has been perfect for camping during the newborn phase. It’s lightweight and easy to set up, but also firm and solid.

4️⃣ Warm sleep sack - We use @ergopouch_usa swaddle sacks at home, so I was very excited to learn they had a 3.5 TOG option (the warmest I’ve been able to find in a 0-3 month size). I also like that you can convert the swaddle to a regular sleep sack with the arms out so you can keep using it once baby starts rolling over. 

5️⃣ Fully stocked diaper caddy - The most necessary piece of gear on this list! Keeps everything organized for diaper changes so you’re not scrambling in the middle of the night.

6️⃣ Carrier - Keeps baby safe and secure while you have your hands free. Also great for hiking and other outdoor adventures. I’ve been using the @wildbird aerial carrier and love the fit and all of the different colors/prints it comes in.

First newborn camping trip was a success!✨🙌🏼🏕️

We decided to do a quick overnight trip before a longer upcoming trip to start getting the hang of things and make sure we had all of our bases covered.

Right now baby really doesn’t need much besides a safe place to sleep (I have an earlier video about our sleep system!), so getting out was pretty simple.

If you don’t camp often adding a newborn into the mix is probably tough, but if it’s something you’re already used to, a baby just adds a fun new layer of adventure!👶🏼🏕️

Oh my god we’re back again. 

And by “back” I mean, another public comment period to defend the Roadless Rule. 

TL;DR ⬇️

- The Trump administration is proposing to fully rescind the 2001 Roadless Rule, which currently protects about 44.7 million acres of National Forest land from most new road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvest. 
- This is a NEW comment period focused specifically on the DEIS and proposed rule. Last year’s comment period was about what the USDA should study; this one is about responding to what it actually analyzed.
- The USDA is proposing a full rescission of the Roadless Rule, removing protections from ~45 million of acres of land.
- The USDA’s own analysis identifies major concerns under full rescission, including impacts to wildlife, drinking water, recreation, Tribal rights, road-maintenance costs, and wildfire risk. It pretty much contradicts their proposed ruling… 🙄
- Comments are due September 21, 2026. Tell the USDA to reject Alternative 2 and choose Alternative 1, the No Action Alternative.

If you live in Colorado you know we’ve had an unseasonably warm December.🥵

We typically see temps in the 30/40s in GJ this time of year, but it’s been in the 50s all month and even got up into the 60s for a few days.😳

While I’m not a fan of the cold (and make at least one post mentioning it every year😂), I am concerned about the heat and lack of moisture.😟

My in-laws live at 9,500 ft., so they actually have some snow right now, but definitely not as much as past years.❄️

Things may turn around in the mountains over the next few months (hopefully!), but right now the snow water equivalent in every river basin in Colorado is alarmingly low.😥

There’s a lot of uncertainty at the moment (including around negotiations about the management of the Colorado River, which adds another layer of stress when it comes to water in the West), but it’s safe to say it doesn’t really feel a lot like Christmas right now!🌡️

Our national parks are being asked to do more with less. Again. 🥴 And they’re facing more budget cuts. Also again. 👎

📈 Visitation is up (323+ million visits in 2025)
📉 Funding and staffing are down (~25% of NPS staff lost since 2025 & 2027 budget cuts could slash ~25% of park operations funding with other cuts threatening even more)
 
The people working to protect these places are stretched thin. So if you’ve been wondering how to help, this is a great starting point.

We live in an era inundated with misinformation. We need to be crystal clear about what we’re talking about when we want to spur action and change. Conflating these two agencies (or even just “National Parks” and “National Forests”) is not just confusing, but it can actually be harmful to the progress we’re trying to make.

Understanding the difference between the USFS and the NPS helps people better engage in the decisions that shape public lands.

And don’t worry if you didn’t know this. I honestly learned a lot putting this carousel together! We’re all learning and growing together.

Action alert: tell the BLM you support the Public Lands Rule!✍🏼🏜️

The BLM is moving to rescind the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule (aka the Public Lands Rule), a policy that put conservation on equal footing with other land uses in management decisions.🥾

Contrary to what opponents of the rule believe, it does not prioritize conservation or take away from other uses, in fact considering the health of the land is critical to supporting other land uses, including recreation and grazing, longterm.🐄

Comments are being accepted through November 10th, so get yours in today!✍🏼

Hiking in a Park or on any public lands pays exquisite dividends in views and in joy!

Thank you @kate.outdoors for an Arches view! | Jumping for joy because I can finally enjoy the holidays after the most overwhelming month at work!✨ (🎄← the only Christmas tree I’ll be putting up this year😅)
✧ 
I know there are a lot of people struggling right now between the time of year and general state of the world, so I truly hope everyone has a healthy and happy holiday season, however you choose to celebrate!✨🎅🏼

If you’ve never been to Bears Ears or Grand-Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, it’s hard to understand how special these places are…✨🏜️🦖

Bears Ears is home to over 100,00 archaeological sites and considered a sacred area for multiple tribes, including the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah Ouray, Hopi Nation, and Zuni Tribe (who together form the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition).

Grand-Staircase Escalante has a rich paleontological and geologic history, and is also the ancestral homelands of tribes, including the Hopi Tribe, Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Navajo Nation, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and the Zuni Tribe.

The boundaries of Bears Ears and the management plans for both monuments were created with tribal input, which is important to acknowledge.

Today Trump signed an EO to significantly shrink the boundaries of both national monuments, which paves the way for these areas to be opened to extraction.

We know this is the administration’s intention because Trump did the same thing back in 2017.

Litigation stemming from the 2017 Bears Ears reduction was brought by environmental groups and tribes, but was never formally resolved. The legal system moves slowly and this ongoing issue is a consequence of that.

The consolidated 2017 case has been stayed since 2021 after the Biden administration restored the boundaries, prompting new litigation from the state of Utah & groups opposed to public lands protections.

The state of Utah motioned to reopen the 2017 case back in 2024 so they could move to dismiss it, but the court denied their motion.

I imagine this most recent action will prompt the plaintiffs from 2017 to move to reopen the case, and the new change in position by the federal government will give them grounds to do so.*

While this is an ongoing legal issue, it has very real consequences for the cultural resources and Indigenous people who have called these areas home since time immemorial.

If you’ve never been to Bears Ears or Grand-Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, it’s hard to understand how special these places are…✨🏜️🦖 Bears Ears is home to over 100,00 archaeological sites and considered a sacred area for multiple tribes, including the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah Ouray, Hopi Nation, and Zuni Tribe (who together form the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition). Grand-Staircase Escalante has a rich paleontological and geologic history, and is also the ancestral homelands of tribes, including the Hopi Tribe, Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Navajo Nation, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, and the Zuni Tribe. The boundaries of Bears Ears and the management plans for both monuments were created with tribal input, which is important to acknowledge. Today Trump signed an EO to significantly shrink the boundaries of both national monuments, which paves the way for these areas to be opened to extraction. We know this is the administration’s intention because Trump did the same thing back in 2017. Litigation stemming from the 2017 Bears Ears reduction was brought by environmental groups and tribes, but was never formally resolved. The legal system moves slowly and this ongoing issue is a consequence of that. The consolidated 2017 case has been stayed since 2021 after the Biden administration restored the boundaries, prompting new litigation from the state of Utah & groups opposed to public lands protections. The state of Utah motioned to reopen the 2017 case back in 2024 so they could move to dismiss it, but the court denied their motion.

Mini Cooper coming Spring 2026!✨💕🍼

This has been one of the hardest secrets to keep as someone who enjoys oversharing on the internet, so I’m very excited to finally announce that I’m pregnant!!🤰🏻

The past few months have been a whirlwind, but we could not be more excited to grow our little family!🥰

Hiking definitely looked a little different than usual this summer. We only did one big hike when I was 3 weeks (aka I wasn’t actually pregnant yet), before the first trimester symptoms came in hot.😅

Now that I’m officially in the second trimester I feel like myself again, but I definitely still prefer shorter hikes.🥾

I’m hoping to stay as active as possible throughout the pregnancy (both on + off the trail), and do my best to prepare to have a little outdoorsy beeb with us next summer!👶🏼❤️

So is the famous haute chocolate from the @fsvail actually worth it?💸🧐

I’m admittedly not a huge fan of hot chocolate (usually because it’s too watery), but I thought this was incredible!🍫☕️

It was rich, thick, super chocolatey, and the marshmallow was chewy and delicious.😍

Is it pricey? Absolutely, but I would expect anything at the Four Seasons to be.🤷🏻‍♀️

You’re not only paying for the hot chocolate, but also for top notch service (someone pours it for you) and the ✨experience✨.

I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to have it again, but if I ever find myself in Vail during the winter and am looking for a little après treat, this will certainly hit the spot!⛷️

Join me & @wildernesssociety in opposing proposed changes to the BLM Oil & Gas Rule (ad) 🙅🏻‍♀️

The Oil & Gas Rule, which was finalized in 2024, updated regulations to rein in oil and gas production on public lands.

Notably, it increased fees for industry to lease public lands and increased bonding requirements to ensure clean-up costs don’t fall to communities (among other things).

Now the Trump administration wants to roll those regulations back to make it cheaper and easier to drill on public lands.😒

The public comment period for the proposed changes ends on Monday, August 24th, so speak up today!🗣️✍🏼
