A new report finds that "extreme" climate change has arrived at one of America's favorite places to escape to: our national parks.

Well if you're planning a trip to an amazing natural site like the Grand Canyon, you'd better hurry up.  A new report finds that "extreme" climate change has arrived at one of America's favorite places to escape to: our national parks.
