Share New names would honor Salish people, Chinese immigrants
Exactly 156 years to the day since the capture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis by the United States, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes led an official push to remove the blight of his name from three geographic features in the state of Montana. Â
A petition submitted to the U.S. Board of Geographic Names on May 10 asked that Jeff Davis Peak, Jeff Davis Creek and Davis Gulch be renamed âThree Eagles Peak,â âChoos-wee Creekâ and âIn-qu-qu-leet Gulchâ, respectively. The names were chosen to honor the Indigenous inhabitants of Montana and Chinese immigrants whose contributions to the state have been largely ignored.
Ah, the great outdoors. The sun on your face, the wind at your back, and (hopefully) a space to explore with your furry pal. While a walk in the park might seem like the most obvious place in the world to bring a dog, most U.S. national parks have strict rules regarding if and where pets are allowed. Guidelines can vary greatly, so we’ve compiled a list of each one, ranking them from most to least dog-friendly, to help you plan where to take your next parks adventure with your canine companion.
First, a few universal guidelines: keep your pet on a six-foot (or shorter) leash at all times, always bag and throw away your dog’s waste, and never leave an animal unattended in a locked vehicle.

Given that more than 75 percent of the state’s population resides in Las Vegas, Nevada looks a lot less crowded on the other side of the Clark County line. For those craving the kind of stark desert wilderness that only the Silver State can provide, Great Basin National Park is a worthy destination. Located about 300 miles from Las Vegas, the 77,180-acre park features ancient bristlecones, limestone caves, the second highest mountain in Nevada, the state’s only glacier, and most importantly, solitude. When one compares Zion National Park’s visitation numbers (almost 4.3 million people in 2016) to Great Basin’s (only 144,846 that same year), it’s easy to see why the isolated high desert locale is worth the longer drive.
