But who's behind the donation, and what will the money be used for? At Denali National Park, a new vehicle regulation comes as the park prepares to restore bus access beyond the Pretty Rocks landslide in 2027. Meanwhile, Death Valley is beginning a $69.5 million overhaul of its aging water systems, and several Grand Canyon trails have reopened following flood damage — although major closures remain. We're also following two significant developments at the U.S. Forest Service: a federal judge has temporarily blocked parts of the agency's reorganization, while a separate new rule will shorten the time available for public comments and objections on national forest projects. Plus, Glacier National Park confirms its first cases of white-nose syndrome in bats, the Blue Ridge Parkway continues recovering from Hurricane Helene, Tennessee dedicates a new state park along the Buffalo River, and Chiricahua officially becomes America's 64th national park.
