As we mentioned in an earlier post, the Sperry Chalet in Glacier National Park, built in 1914, was lost to fire at the end of August.

The Glacier Park Conservancy has already contracted an engineering firm to stabilize the walls from winter's wind and snow so that the structure can remain sound for future rebuilding efforts.  But this take money, and the month of October is the window of time they have before heavy winter sets in.

If you would like to contribute, you can learn more about the project and donate to the effort at the Glacier National Park Conservancy here.  Please help if you are able!

This is truly the year to get out and discover our national heritage in our National Parks!  This year, as many of you know, marks the centennial of the park service.  They have all sorts of fun events going on as part of the celebration this year.  We are excited to share that ALL national parks will be offering FREE admission to everyone April 16-24!  I know that is right around the corner but it isn't too late to do a little planning and get out to visit a park near you.  Spring is a great time to get out-water is flowing, flowers are blooming, the weather isn't too hot or too cold.  Find a park near you and go check it out for free this April!  Let us know where you went and what you loved about it.
