National Parks

National Parks are precious to America's history and to our society as it grows, to remember that nature was here first and we should honor it. More and more, people forget about nature and want to spend their vacations at Disney World, or Water parks, places that are fun, but just can't live up to a national park's beauty. I see the world changing, and I don't like it.

Everyone knows about Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks, but maybe you haven't heard of my favorite national parks.

Lake Clark, Alaska.
It is only accessible by aircraft and is the least visited national park in America. It's complete wilderness with three mountain ranges coming together, the lake, a rainforest two active volcanoes, and a plateau. There are hundreds of beautiful running waterfalls.





Isle Royale, Michigan.
It is an island in the middle of Lake Superior. It has lighthouses, trails, moose and wolves, and tons of sunken ships. It has it's own Submerged Resources Center. It just sounds like a unique place to visit.






Theodore Roosevelt, North Dakota.
It is found in the western badlands of North Dakota. You can camp. Enough said.





Haleakala, Hawaii.
The attraction of this national park is the dormant volcano, Haleakala, and the coastal Kipahulu area. Haleakala hasn't erupted since near 1490.  There is even an observatory.
