Recreation.gov is your one-stop shop for trip planning, information sharing and reservations brought to you by 12 federal participating partners. Seven of these partner agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Archives, offer advance reservations at 2,500 federal areas for over 60,000 facilities and activities.
Use Recreation.gov to:Discover which parks,
forests, lakes, museums, and areas managed by federal agencies offer recreation opportunities near you or your destination.
Use interactive maps to get information, plan your trip, or to initiate a reservation online.
Here are just a few of the things you can plan for your American adventure:•PitchaTent-Reserve a
campsite anywhere from destination campgrounds like Grand Canyon National Park to lesser-known gems like Maple Grove Campground on the Fishlake National Forest, to unique camping experiences that require planning and preparation like Brooks Camp in Alaska.
•HikeaTrail- Recreation.gov
provides information on everything from easy day hikes with trailheads starting at the campground, to challenging wilderness routes such as the Enchantment Permit Area within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
•WhitewaterRaft- These challenging trips, such as the Snake River through Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest river gorge, require research, experience, advance planning, and preparation. Try the Youghiogheny for a range of experiences from beginner to advanced.
•PackaPicnic-Reserve a popular shelter like the Appalachian Clubhouse in Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a meeting or celebration, or one of the lakeside Army Corps of Engineers picnic shelters, such as lovely Buck Ridge on Henley Lake.
•SettleintoaCabin-These range from remote and rustic cabins accessible only by boat or float plane, like San Juan Bay Cabin, only by train, like Denver Caboose Cabin in Alaska, to those with more amenities like water, electricity and road access at Blue Springs Gap Cabin.
•Spelunk-Cave lovers will enjoy tours from easy to challenging at cave systems like Mammoth, Carlsbad, and Blanchard Springs.
•BunkinaFireLookoutTower-These are mostly historic fire lookouts once used by wildland firefighters, like 55-foot tall Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout located at 10,000 feet. Most offer panoramic views of mountains, forests and wildlife but may not offer electricity, running water, or road access.
•Climb-Permits for some of the most challenging and popular climbs, such as the Cables on Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, require application through a lottery.
•MountainBike-Some of the best mountain biking trails are on federal public lands, from the Allegrippis Trail System at Raystown Lake, Pennsylvania to the 142-mile Kokopelli’s Trail that goes from Loma, Colorado to Moab, Utah.
•CatchaFish-Fishing is a popular activity for all ages at many Army Corps of Engineers Lakes and National Wildlife Refuges and many other federal public lands. Some facilities, like Ice Harbor Dam on th lower Snake River, also offer underwater fish windows to view spawning salmon.
•CanoeorKayak-Recreation.gov allows you to reserve a permit for a remote wilderness canoe experience like Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Trip planning is easier for canoe and kayak adventurers at Army Corps of Engineers facilities or national parks near urban areas, like Red Rock Lake outside of Des Moines, Iowa, or Chattahoochee River outside Atlanta, Georgia.
•ExploreAmericanHistoryandCulture-
Tour iconic places that represent the American experience at diverse locations like Independence National Historical Park and Mesa Verde National Park.
•SpecialEvents-Enter a lottery to win tickets for traditional American events like the annual White House Easter Egg Roll or the National Christmas Tree Lighting.
•MotorBoat-Motor boating sports, like waterskiing and wakeboarding, are some of the most popular activities at Army Corps of Engineers and other federally managed lakes.

!
Preparing for travel may be stressful, but it doesn’t need to be. You are encouraged to keep these screening tips in mind to help facilitate the screening process on your next trip to the airport.
Advanced Imaging Technology
TSA uses this technology to safely screen passengers at the checkpoint. You are encouraged to remove all items from your pockets and avoid wearing clothing with large metal embellishments and large metal jewelry to reduce the possibility of alarming the machine.
3-1-1 Liquids RuleYou are allowed to
bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes through
the checkpoint. These are limited to 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. This is also known as the 3-1-1 liquids rule.
Prohibited ItemsRemember to check your
baggage for prohibited items. Use the Can I Bring My…? tool to check if items like sporting goods, foods, tools and others are permitted. Some carry-on items may be prohibited even if they appear not to be, like a cane with a hidden sword.
Pregnant TravelersAll screening equipment
at the airport security checkpoint is safe for all travelers, including women who are pregnant. Watch this travel tips video if you have questions about the security screening process
when traveling while pregnant.
TSA Recognized LocksTSA officers have tools
for opening and re-locking baggage with accepted and recognized locks, such as Safe Skies® and Travel Sentry®, reducing the likelihood of damaging the lock or bag if a physical inspection is required. TSA is not liable for damage caused to locked bags that must be opened for security purposes.
Any reference to any specific commercial company, product, process, or service, or the use of any trade, firm, or corporation name, is provided for the information and convenience of the public. It does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or favorable treatment by TSA. TSA makes no claims, promises, guarantees, or warranties of any kind, expressed or implied, as to the goods or services provided by any commercial entity.www.tsa.gov/travel/travel-tipsOfficial website of the Department of Homeland Security
It’s autumn and game day - - time to head for the tailgate and the football game. Typically, football games are held in the evenings in high school and during the day and evening in college, so the air will likely have chill to it. Here’s a few do’s and don’ts of clothing choice, so you can remain comfortable throughout the game during the chillier fall months.
Dress in layersSeveral layers are the best
way to dress before you head to the game. It’s a lot easier to take the layers off if you get warm. And, it’s a lot cheaper than the other option if you get cold - visiting the team store to buy a new sweatshirt or jacket.
Start with a cotton, light-fitting t-shirt. Bundle above that with a long-sleeve t-shirt or sweatshirt. Finally, top it all off with a warm jacket. Wear jeans, and for those chilly days put a pair of leg-warmers on underneath. Cotton or lycra will keep the heat near your body.
At the same time, don’t overdo it. Cheering for your favorite team requires standing up for long periods of time or jumping out of your seat for the big plays. You need to be able to dance and celebrate, so you don`t want to have the movement ability of a marshmallow.
Wear hats and gloves!Tailgating and game times
in the fall and early winter months can be cold. Bring a comfy hat and gloves. Otherwise, you may spend the entire time trying to keep
your hands warm and miss out on enjoying yourself.
Plan for the time of the gameIf it’s a college football game
that starts at Noon, you`re probably starting to tailgate during the early morning hours, the coldest time of the day. If you’re coming back to your car before kickoff, it’s best layer up even more, and leave some of the clothes in the car. If it’s an evening game, you might be tailgating during the warmest time of day and arriving at the stadium when the weather cools off.
Take a blanketIf you have room in the bag
you’re taking into the stadium, bring a blanket with you. During an evening game, it’s a nice way to keep warm. If the weather is really cold, you might even make a few friends in the process.
Wear your team’s colorsSince you’re wearing
multiple layers, it’s important to make sure that you’re prepared to continue to cheer your team on, in case you need to take a layer off. Don’t want your t-shirt to be cheering for the rival team!
Don’t: Paint your body in your team’s colors.
While showing that much team spirit may get you on television, the chilly temperatures common, especially at those late-season games, could lead to a rather uncomfortable rest of the night or even frostbite damage.By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Andrew Rosenthal

As Idaho motorists take to the roads this winter, ITD reminds that a few extra precautions can make winter journeys safer. ITD’s top 10 recommendations for safe winter travel are:1. Be prepared. Winter conditions increase the importance of a well-maintained vehicle. Keep car windows, mirrors and lights clear of snow and ice. Make sure tires and brakes are ready for the extra demands of winter. Visit a mechanic and ensure car battery and fluid levels are sufficient, heating units are working properly and that tires have sufficient traction for snowy conditions.
2. Plan ahead. Before heading out on the state’s roadways, dial 5-1-1 or visit 511.idaho.gov on the web for updates on winter road and weather conditions, emergency closures and
access to highway condition reports. Images from cameras throughout the state are available on the website and on the mobile web application.
3. Buckle up. Wearing a seat belt is the most effective safety precaution you can take. Children also must be properly secured in an approved safety seat that is right for their age and weight and installed according to specifications. If you need help ensuring proper installation, watch for local clinics or visit a fire station in your area.
4. Check the signs. ITD uses variable message signs on high-traffic routes to advise motorists of winter hazards. Those messages change as conditions change. Also pay attention to roadside signs, such as speed limits, high wind and low visibility advisories, sharp curves and potentially icy bridges.
5. Slow down. Leave a few minutes early, allow windshields adequate time to defrost and allow extra time to get to your destination. It is better to be a few minutes late than to not arrive at all. Don’t put yourself and others at risk by driving too fast for the conditions. Posted speed limits represent maximum speeds for ideal conditions. The basic rule suggests lower speeds as dictated by weather and highway conditions.
6. Use extra caution. Be aware of potentially icy areas such as shady spots and bridges. Take caution against black ice. Drive less than the speed limit if conditions warrant. Allow extra distance between your car and the one you’re following. Check your mirrors to see how other motorists are driving; anticipate their actions.
7. Drive safely around snowplows. Drive at least two car lengths behind snowplows for every 10 mph of car speed. Do not pass a snowplow unless absolutely necessary and only when you have a clear view of the highway ahead. Never drive through the snow being ejected from plows because the force of the spray can throw a car out of control.
8. Keep emergency supplies in the car. Flashlights, extra batteries, first aid kit, pocket knife/multi-purpose tool, blanket or sleeping bag, extra clothing, small sack of sand or cat litter for generating traction under vehicle wheels, a small shovel, bottled water, booster cables, rope, energy bars or other food, brightly colored scarf to attract attention in case of an emergency, waterproof matches or
cigarette lighter and a map of the area.
9. Keep in touch. If carrying a cellphone, make sure its battery is fully charged and have a list of emergency telephone numbers available. Also, share travel plans with family or friends, including estimated departure and arrival times, intended route and destination.
10. Never drink and drive. Idaho law enforcement officers will increase patrols, especially during holidays, to catch and arrest drunk drivers. Be safe and keep others safe by designating a sober driver before traveling to any party or event involving alcohol consumption.

Idaho Trivia
Ice fishing is a great way to be outdoors in the winter. All you need to get started is warm clothes, a few pieces of equipment and a place to go.
The most common fish pursued are perch and trout. Bluegill, kokanee and crappie are also possible.
The biggest concern is always the ice. As a general rule, three to four inches of solid ice will support a person. However, it takes eight to ten inches of solid ice to support a snow machine or ATV.Good Ice Fishing Spots
Each part of the state has a few waters where anglers commonly go ice fishing.
Directions and more information on these waters can be found using the Idaho Fishing Planner.Safety
Ice conditions vary with weather conditions, so be sure to take along your common sense. General rules for ice safety is three to four inches of solid ice will support a person; eight to ten inches of solid ice are
needed to support an ATV or snow machine.
Because ice conditions can change quickly, especially in late winter, please choose safety first when selecting your fishing spot. Drilling a test hole before venturing far out is the best way to check the ice conditions. Fish and Game regional offices do not have daily knowledge of ice conditions.
When drilling holes, keep them less than ten inches wide. This is for the safety of other anglers who might step in or fall through abandoned holes that have just skimmed over with ice.Clothing
Dressing in layers is the best way to prepare for any outdoor activity. Heavy soled boots, insulated overalls, gloves and hats are all recommended clothing for ice fishing.Rules
Ice fishing rules are slightly different than general fishing for public safety and general crowding.
