It’s a brand new year, and in this episode of Exploring the National Parks, we are discussing what you can expect in the national parks in 2024! Granted, things will change throughout the year, but this is an overview of how things are looking for the 2024 season. I know many of you are planning your trips right now, so our goal is to give you as much insight as possible into what you can expect this year in the parks.  Join us as we discuss:  - What you need to know about park reservations this year - What to know if you are planning to camp in the parks - Parks with upcoming construction closures you’ll want to know about - How to prepare for wildfire season in the parks  Remember, the parks are always changing, so it’s best to check the official NPS website often.
