I love to visit the
America's national parks. America created its first
national park just a few years before her 100th birthday. The first national park to be created was
Yellowstone National park. This
granddaddy of national parks was created in 1872.
One of the reasons that I
love the national parks is because of their beauty. Yellowstone has its waterfalls, wildlife,
geysers, and hot pots. Crater Lake is a
beautiful, pristine lake in a volcanic crater.
Yosemite has Redwood trees and one of the highest waterfalls in the
world. Teton National Park has the
majestic grandeur of the craggy Teton mountain peaks.
Another reason I enjoy the
national parks is the learning and education there. Most national parks have visitor centers with
movies and displays to help you understand the park, its history, and
geology. A fun and educational activity at most
national parks is the Junior Ranger Program for children. Children are given a paper or booklet with
activities to help them learn more about the park and its environment.
For beauty, family fun and
education the National Parks can’t be beat!
