Most people don't realize that the balloons they release in a city will likely drift and land in wild places. Balloon trash is very hazardous to animals when swallowed and creates an eyesore on the natural landscape. #dontrelease #litter #leavenotrace

This coyote is NOT starving or thirsty. It is healthy finding food on its own. It is begging on the side of the road from cars because it has learned that cars = food. 😢Do NOT feed wild animals, keep #wildlife wild! #leavenotrace

Will you be Nature's #Valentine & not release balloons? Balloons released from urban areas float into the park & rest as litter. Not only is this an eyesore, but the litter is also eaten by animals! This clogs their digestive system & results in death. #NeverReleaseBalloons

Feeding coyotes teaches them that cars mean food. They are often sighted stepping in front of vehicles to get them to stop. This is dangerous for both the coyote and visitors. #leavenotrace #findyourpark #NationalParks (NPS image)

Visiting the park for the Perseid meteor shower? Though the park does have some smoke haze, the viewing should still be pretty good. To see the most meteors look to the NE, midnight to dawn, peaking on MON night. #Perseids

Help spread the word! Please do not feed wildlife. Fed coyotes identify cars as food, which is dangerous for the coyotes and visitors. #keepwildlifewild #tellafriend

Lizard Season! Keep a look out for lizards if you are visiting the park. It is also a good reminder to drive the speed limit and watch the road because lizards love to sunbathe on the pavement. #Islowforlizards (NPS photo/DePue)

Death Valley summers & dogs do NOT mix. Keep your pet safe by not bringing them on your trip. Dogs aren't permitted off of roads & out of developed areas & can't be left in you car. Better off at home. #hottest #heatsafety #NationalHotDogDay

Road-tripping used to be a lot more dangerous in Death Valley, but drivers still need to be prepared- bring a lot of extra water & some food. If you break down, stay with your vehicle. #hottest #safety #ArchivesRoadTrip #ArchivesHashtagParty (NPS photo)
