America's Best Idea - Our National Parks

---

Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon & Zion make up the Mighty 5.  

But don't overlook Timpanogos Caves, Dinosaur, Golden Spike & Hovensweep.

Yellowstone was the world's first national park.  The idea to set aside natural wonder for all to enjoy has prompted all nations to set aside land for public use.  Enjoy the Grand Tetons right next door.

The Crown of the Continent - Glacier National Park once boosted 80 glaciers.  Now it boosts over 700 miles of hiking trails.  Hit Theodore Roosevelt & Badlands as part of your journey.

Huge selection of National Park Service offerings!  Impressive Yosemite, Sequoia, Death Valley, Joshua Tree & Channel Island along with historical sites such Manzanar, Golden Gate, Rosie the Riveter & Alcatraz.  

With peaks that used to rival the Rockies or Alps, time has worn down one of the world's oldest mountain ranges leaving us with beauty that extends from Georgia to Maine.  Take in the Great Smokies, Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah & Appalachian Trail. 

There are few geological areas as unique as America's desert southwest.  Discover the uncommon majesty of Grand Canyon, Saguaro, Glen Canyon as well as numerous indigenous cliff dwellings and ruins.

The National Park Service is responsible for numerous sites of historical value across the United States.  Enjoy sites of historical significance from before America was born to the nuclear age.

Washington and Alaska both have temperate rainforests while Hawaii has tropical rainforest. Enjoy an invigorating hike while forest bathing in the lush green of Olympic, Sikta, or Haleakala.

Delve into America's past at historical parks, relaxed at famous national seashores and hike the jewel in the crown - Acadia National Park.
