Somebody turned the saturation up on Mount Rainier. Autumn has painted the national park's slopes in brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow and green. Planning a visit? Check the forecast and park conditions before you go. Mountain weather can change quickly.

The Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial honors the courage of the Americans who answered our nation’s call, the sacrifice of those who never returned home and the families who supported them. At @NationalMallNPS, their service will be remembered with the gratitude and respect it deserves, and their legacy will endure for generations.

Let's hear it for the night shift! It's Bat Week, and these winged wonders deserve some love. Bats devour insects, pollinate plants, spread seeds and provide natural pest control. They may have a spooky reputation, but they're essential to healthy ecosystems.

It's a TUMBLEWEED TAKEOVER. Strong winds at Scotts Bluff National Monument in Nebraska occasionally send thousands of tumbleweeds rolling across the landscape, piling up in massive drifts that can completely block roads.
