We love good news—and we have some to share amid this week’s record-breaking warm spell! An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect through Sunday for areas of Grand Canyon National Park below 4,000 feet, including Phantom Ranch. Avoid strenuous hiking during the hottest part of the day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.), and be sure to drink plenty of water and eat regularly. Bright Angel Trail Water Update: 💧 As of this morning, drinking water is now ON at Three Mile Resthouse along the Bright Angel Trail. ⚠️ ALERT: Water is now OFF at Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse on Bright Angel Trail, because of a valve failure. (2:00 pm - Saturday, March 20, 2026). A huge thank you to our Water Utilities team for their hard work in making this possible! What water is ON and OFF on the rim and in the inner canyon?

Our favorite season is spring. @NationalMallNPS predicts cherry blossom peak bloom will be March 29-April. If you're in town, be sure to visit the U.S. Capitol. #bloomwatch #cherryblossom #DCspring2026

For the #SpringEquinox, these sunny pictures were taken last week in the Abbey gardens 💐

🌸 Hello, Spring! 🌸 The first day of spring is here. It’s time to explore Ohio’s blooming beauty! From scenic trails to seasonal festivals, Ohio is the Heart of It All. 👉 ohio.org/spring #HelloSpring #OhioTheHeartOfItAll #ExploreOhio

Happy first day of spring! As flowers begin to bloom and the grass turns lush and green, it’s the perfect time to plan your next adventure on your public lands! 🌳🌻 This season is extra special as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday and the 80th anniversary of the Bureau of Land Management. These milestones remind us that our public lands belong to all of us and that each generation plays a role in caring for them. Remember to embrace the spirit of stewardship by Leaving No Trace! Please don’t pick the wildflowers and always pack out what you pack in. 📸 Lemhi Pass, @BLMIdaho

It’s spring, you know what that means: monarch butterflies migrating north. Even better news? After years of declining population numbers, this year, they went up.

🌸 As of 7:46 am today, spring has arrived! 🌸 Today marks the first day of spring at Grand Canyon National Park — a season of longer days, blooming desert plants, and incredible canyon views. It’s also one of our busiest times, with Spring Break crowds filling the South Rim. If you’re planning to visit, here are two easy ways to avoid the biggest crowds: • ⏰ Arrive early (before 9 am) or later in the day (after 4 pm) • 🚍 Park once, then use the free shuttle buses — instead of searching for limited parking 🔥 Important: An Extreme Heat Warning is in effect this weekend. Temperatures in the inner canyon are expected to break records — making conditions dangerous for hiking during midday. • 🥾 Avoid strenuous hiking during the hottest part of the day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.). • 💧 Drink plenty of water and balance water intake with food or electrolytes. • ☀️ Plan ahead and know your limits—heat illness can happen quickly in the Inner Canyon. During peak midday heat, consider visiting the Village Historic District, walking the Canyon Rim Trail, or touring scenic overlooks. • 🚌 Tour Hermit Road on free shuttles. (closed to private vehicles). • 🚗 Drive 23 mile (37 km) Desert View Drive in your car. Spring is beautiful here — just be prepared and stay safe! 🌄 Happy Spring Equinox! March 20, 2026.

Happy vernal equinox! 🍀 Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.

Always a favourite feature in the Chapel - The Apprentice Pillar.

Celebrating SPRING with a reminder that the projected start of peak bloom for Washington’s cherry blossoms is between March 29 and April 1! 🌸 Did you know the two Library of Congress cherry trees are among just a handful of documented originals from the 1912 gift from Japan? Including this one. 🧵⬇️

Goodbye winter coats, hello blooming possibilities. Happy first day of spring! 🌷✨ #FirstDayOfSpring #SpringEquinox

Ahhhh, spring. The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and the bears are emerging from their months-long hibernation! That means it's time to be bear aware. All of Yellowstone is bear country - from the park's backcountry to the boardwalks and parking lots around Old Faithful. So be sure to hike in groups of three or more, carry bear spray (and know how to use it!), and always stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears. Learn more bear safety tips at go.nps.gov/YELLbearsafety

@daniinthesnow Happy Birthday.🎂

And this is 40🎉🎂

@Shady_Justin Shade and Solar Panels - That’s a Smart Pairing.👍💡☀️⚡️🔋

Las Vegas need more of this in parking lots #Phoenix
