Happy Summer Solstice…and welcome to the first day of summer! Today brings the longest stretch of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere as Earth tilts toward the Sun. From early sunrises to long golden evenings, it’s a reminder to get outside and make the most of the light. Across the parks, summer is in full swing on trails, rivers, overlooks, historic sites, monuments, and everywhere in between.
