National Parks
U.S. National Parks
The idea of preserving natural landscapes for public enjoyment and conservation in the United States began in the mid-19th century, championed by conservationists like John Muir and political leaders such as President Ulysses S. Grant. In 1872, Yellowstone National Park was established as the nation’s first national park, setting the precedent for a system that would eventually protect over 400 natural, historical, and cultural sites. This concept reflected America’s growing appreciation for its vast wilderness and a collective commitment to safeguarding it for future generations.
- Dry Tortugas National Park, located about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, is known for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and the historic 19th-century Fort Jefferson. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this park offers a rare blend of marine biodiversity and Civil War-era history, making it one of the most unique destinations in the national park system.
- Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky features the world’s longest known cave system, with over 400 miles of explored passageways. Its remarkable geological formations and deep historical ties—from ancient Indigenous use to 19th-century exploration—make it a world treasure recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
- Badlands National Park in South Dakota showcases dramatic layered rock formations, fossil-rich deposits, and sweeping prairie landscapes. The park’s rugged beauty and paleontological significance provide visitors a rare window into the Earth’s ancient past while highlighting the natural splendor of the American Great Plains.
