When most people hear the term “National Park”, they automatically think of names such as “Yellowstone”, or “Yosemite”, or “Grand Canyon”. The big parks’ names bring to mind vast stretches of undisturbed wilderness perfect for hiking, camping, and nature-watching. But while this vision of America’s National Parks is wholly accurate and sufficiently breathtaking, there’s more.
America’s National Park system has an incredible 388 places to visit. This number includes not only the big parks, but also monuments, historical sites, recreation areas, battlefields, as well as scenic lakeshores, and rivers. And the Parks themselves don’t just stop at geyser-fields and mule-excursions. In America’s National Parks, you can climb an active volcano in Hawaii, “spelunk” the vast underground world of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, dive the exotic coral reef of Biscayne Bay in Florida, or cast your fishing nets in the far reaches of the Pacific with the locals of America Samoa. Each of these 388 places has a unique appeal – from the natural to the manmade, from the ethereal to the factual, from the subtle to the overwhelming – with the whole collection offering vacationers a nearly endless range of interests and activitists in which to explore and indulge.
