National Park Tech

I’ll have more info (and photos, of course) from my trip to Glacier National Park (GNP) soon. But here are a few things I found interesting:

GNP has webcams.
This one has a nest of ospreys and is right next to one of the visitor centers. They had a telescope set up in the visitor center when I was there aimed at this nest too.

GNP has RSS news feeds.

GNP has blogs.

GNP has fans on Facebook here and here (and others).

GNP now Twitters too.

For a park that is a year away from its centennial celebration I think this is all pretty cool. (I haven’t checked how many other National Parks are stepping into the 21st century this way — I hope it’s all of them. I found these useful when planning my trip.)
