Every summer, Grand Canyon National Park puts on a free night sky viewing party where you can view stars through a telescope and follow a ranger through a “constellation tour.” There are star parties at both the North and South Rim Visitor Centers throughout the week. You think the big ditch, with all its depths, is impressive? Try looking up at the sky at night. June 10 to 17: Grand Canyon Star Party, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona The Grand Canyon Star Party is held every year in June. The concert is free, but guests must register here. attend a concert on the Ruby’s Inn section of the canyon rim to hear performances by the local Bryce Canyon Wranglers and the Utah icons The Piano Guys.
On June 8 th, the 100 th anniversary date, the Park Service will host a commemoration ceremony on the rim of Bryce Canyon between Sunset and Sunrise Points at 11 A.M., open to the public. This year marks the 100th birthday of Bryce Canyon National Park, and the park service is celebrating in style with a variety of events, from an ongoing exhibit of historic photos in the Bryce Canyon Lodge, to a day-long butterfly count where volunteers help scientists tally the different number of species in the park. Among its treasures is Thor’s Hammer, a hoodoo in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, that can be viewed from a half-mile walk on the wheelchair- and stroller-accessible trail to Sunset Point. June 8, Centennial Celebration, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah This year is the 100th birthday of Bryce Canyon National Park. If you’re in Colorado, consider helping the Rocky Mountain Park Conservancy clean up trash that’s being exposed as the snow melts inside Rocky Mountain National Park. Or head to Ohio’s Cuyahoga Valley National Park to add stone to 154 steps on the Buckeye Trail to Blue Hen Falls. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out the trail workday at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield, north of Atlanta, where volunteers will help spruce up some of the 22 miles of hiking trails that traverse the mountain and historic Civil War battlefield. Climbers from the Access Fund, an advocacy and stewardship group, work on trails at Washington Pass, North Cascades National Park, Washington. You can find events in your backyard here. It’s a chance to get your hands dirty and give back to the hiking community.
National Trails Day, created by the American Hiking Society, is a nation-wide day of service that includes work projects and group hikes on trails all over the country, including in many national park units. (Photo: Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers/) Special Summer Events by Month June 3: National Trails Day, Multiple Parks A Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers crew tackles some trailwork on public land in Western Colorado. Here’s a list of the best national park events of the summer, from hands-on crabbing in the Atlantic to ranger-led star-spotting hikes in the moonlight, to-my personal favorite-meeting sled dogs in Alaska. Our unplanned tour ended up being one of the highlights of a month-long road trip. I once lucked into a ranger-led event in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, with my young children that had us spotting moose in a river valley. But our national-park system hosts a series of special and regular events in warmer weather that give you all the more reason to go outside.
Grandiose landscapes and epic adventure are plenty and then some. I’m not saying anyone needs another reason to visit a national park this summer.
