The National Parks Service reported a record high of 331.9 million visits in 2024, but government layoffs at U.S. national parks could impact travelers. A 34-year-old woman from Fresno, California, who was an employee of Yosemite Hospitality, died after being found with severe injuries at Yosemite National Park. The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office is assisting in the investigation to determine if her death was suspicious, although there is no substantial evidence pointing towards that at this point. The National Park Service is working with the Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the case, but no further information is available at this time. The White House’s decision to cut jobs could have repercussions on the safety and overall experience for visitors to national parks. It is important for travelers to be aware of these government layoffs and potential impacts on their future trips to national parks.
