The US Midwest could offer fall’s most electric foliage

September 22, 2024157 Views

Fall is back, and bringing with it jack-o'-lanterns, football, pumpkin spice everything and — in some parts of the US — especially vibrant foliage. Leaves around the northern U.S. are starting to turn orange, yellow and red, inspiring legions of leaf lovers to hop in their cars and travel to the countryside for the best look at fall’s fireworks. Leaf peeping — the act of traveling to witness nature’s annual kaleidoscope — contributes billions of dollars to the economy, especially in New England and New York. But this year, some of the most colorful displays could be in the Midwest. AccuWeather, the commercial forecasting service, said in early September that it expects especially vibrant foliage in states such as Michigan and Illinois. The service also said powe...

The collapse of an iconic arch in Utah has left people wondering A common line of questions has emerged from visitors to Utah’s Arches National Park in the week since an iconic rock arch at Lake Powell known as the “Toilet Bowl” collapsed. Are these arches also at risk of falling soon? What are you doing to prevent their collapse? The answers: They might be, and nothing, said Karen Garthwait, spokesperson for Arches and Canyonlands national parks. “Our mission is not to freeze time and preserve these structures exactly as they are,” she said. “Our mission is to preserve the natural processes that create these structures, which of course, is the same process that will eventually undo them as well.” When the geological formation formally named “Double Arch” crumbled last ...

August 11, 2024247 Views

A large geological feature in southern Utah known as the “Double Arch,” the “Hole in the Roof” and sometimes the “Toilet Bowl” has collapsed, National Park Service officials said Friday. No injuries were reported. The popular arch in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area fell Thursday, and park rangers suspect changing water levels and erosion from waves in Lake Powell contributed to its demise. Michelle Kerns, superintendent of the recreation area that spans the border of Utah and Arizona, said the collapse serves as a reminder to protect the mineral resources that surround the lake. “These features have a life span that can be influenced or damaged by manmade interventions,” she said in a statement. The arch was formed from 190 million-year-old Navajo sandstone origin...
