On Saturday, Apple CEO Tim Cook marked National Park Week by expressing his love for hiking, even as U.S. national parks face staffing shortages and budget cuts. Over the weekend, Cook took to X, and celebrated National Park Week, stating, "Hiking at our national parks is one of my favorite things to do, and Apple Maps has thousands of amazing trails and hikes to discover. Happy #NationalParkWeek!" National Park Week, which runs from April 19–27, 2025, aims to highlight the beauty and significance of America's national parks, from iconic landscapes to historic sites. Cook's post came amid growing concerns about staffing issues within the National Park Service, which has faced challenges due to federal layoffs and a reduced workforce.
