This national park has new rules after too many close calls with wolves
Here's how to keep your food safe from wolves this summer
Passage Island Lighthouse, Isle Royale National Park

With the increasing number of wolf encounters in the area, the National Park Service at Isle Royale National Park has implemented new food storage regulations, effective immediately. These new regulations aim to keep both wildlife and visitors safe while exploring the beautiful Great Lakes of Michigan. While these regulations are mandatory, I would recommend taking a note from them, no matter what national park you're headed to next.

The Isle Royale area is well-known for its wolf population, and at the park, there have been increased interactions between wolves and humans due to improperly stored food and trash, especially in areas like Rock Harbor and the eastern campgrounds.

Snapping the perfect vacation selfie might cost more than you think.

At the top of the list? Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world, is the priciest place to pose. Entry to the iconic tower costs a steep $108. Coming in second is Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, where a permit to enter the park costs $70. Paris’ Eiffel Tower takes the third spot at $40 for a trip to the top.
