Trail Ridge Road (U.S. Hwy 34 in #RMNP) is Open for the Season!
Due to melting snow and potential freezing temperatures, visitors should be prepared for icy conditions. Weather may change rapidly. Be prepared to adjust travel plans accordingly. Call 970-586-1222 for updates.
Spring is almost here! Time to prep those skills and camera for photographing birds, baby animals and spring flowers.

On this day in 1973, the Endangered Species Act was signed into law. For 51 years, it has helped preserve plants and wildlife for future generations.
We are thankful for the species this law has helped recover and save— from the bald eagle to the island fox.

Join us today at 1pm CT for a Tundra Connections live chat: “White & Brown & Black All Over—North American Bears.” pbears.org/4f8QQvH
We’ll contrast & compare black, brown, & polar bears, what makes them tick, & how people are coexisting with them across the continent.
Just wrapped up my tour in #churchill for #polarbears and other #arctic #wildlife . It is Polar Bear Week so here is an article I recently wrote about this amazing animal and destination.

Before the tragic death of the beloved bear #399 on Tuesday night by a fatal vehicular strike, I wrote this article about awareness of wildlife on roads. Please read and remember all the animals lost by cars.
