Plan your trips now! The National Park Service has announced the 2015 days of free admission to the few parks that charge admission.

A totally scary scenario – without warning, the volcano sent an ash cloud down the slope as hikers were out enjoying a gorgeous day. While not a huge eruption and dozens were able to escape the eruption to safety, some people are still missing. (Update 9/28 – 41 missing…
