The Wonders of Nature: A Tribute to National Parks will have you traveling through some of America’s most treasured sites.

  1. As an old geezer, I have been to several national parks in my lifetime. They all offer something different and they are all great. I think I’d have to put the Grand Canyon at the top of my list. It is awesome on several levels, a geological history of the planet, continuously occupied from ancient Anasazi to present, varied flora and fauna in several ecological zones, the beauty and the grandeur, that old river that is a water source for millions of people. I could go on and on. Anyone can access this natural wonder in multiple ways–tourist, hiker, photographer–wheelchair bound or not.

  2. Such great answers… I guess you all get a prize! Thanks for sharing your national park memories. We’re excited to celebrate their history and majesty at the Fair this year. Hope to see you all there, too. Contest is closed, but would still love to hear more memories!
