Call your senators + House rep, even if you're not in CA — Yosemite's everyone's park. Tell them you oppose the NPS land swap with Kingsbarn Realty Capital that would hand over Yosemite park land for private development. Use the site -> 5calls dot org - to find your reps' numbers by zip in seconds.

Katmai bear cub in a tree. 🧸🫶 It had two siblings in the tree as well. Watching them balance, hang on and move around to get more comfortable holds on tiny branches for about 20 minutes was a treat. #Katmai

I am not sure. This bear was out there repeatedly many days in a row, doing the exact same behavior. Lots of fun to watch! :)

Katmai bear waiting patiently for fish on the lip of Brooks Falls. This is one of the favorite images I took in my 8 days. This bear would get on the lip, sit down and wait for fish. No matter how long it took she would get her fish! #Katmai

Bear 128 Grazer can't be bargained with, she can't be reasoned with. She does not feel stuffed, or tired, or full! And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until all the fish are eaten! 🐻🎣 #Katmai

I was out there this morning from 745am-9am! The bear on the lip was on fire! Catching fish every few seconds and tossing em back or eating the brain and dropping em. A male bear came up behind and she went, i sensed big rain coming so i bailed. I got like 1,300 pictures and videos this AM! #katmai

My wife finally made it to this spot! 🤗 Counted 30 bears in the water around when I took this. Day 1 of 8 in the books. We made it on time. Got our tent setup with a nice water view. Saw lots of bear action. Took ~1,200 photos! Fun times! 🫠🙃🙂 #Katmai

Exit Glacier in the top left. In 1889 the foot of that glacier was just a few hundred feet past this sign. #NationalParks #ParkChat

We bought property near Yosemite! 🤪 in the Midpines / Mariposa area. Started moving stuff already. We have lots of stuff going on right now - an 8 day Guided trip I just got done with then 10 days in Alaska coming up. So the big push to move all our stuff will be August.

Shelton retires on June 25th I had to make sure I visit him one more time before then. He gave me tips on how to play my eagle bone flute. And I told him if he is walking on the south side valley loop trail and hears a flute sound, it might be me! 🤠 #Yosemite #NationalParks #ParkChat
