Countless times I've visited the website for The National Park Service to research information and fun facts, as well as planning out my ultimate dream adventures for family travel destinations. Our National Parks are more than a symbol of splendor and majesty, our nation's history is a tremendous part of the allure of adventure. President Woodrow Wilson signed an act to officially establish the National Park System on August 25, 1916. Prior to this date, Yellowstone National Park was designated by President Ulysses S. Grant, as the nation's first national park on March 1, 1872. There is always inspiration when you seek to "Find Your Park" for your next travel destination within the National Parks.
Travel Destination | National Parks
We live in the mountains and have developed a love for the travel and the great outdoors. The well-recognized elements of the National Park System arrowhead draw inspiration from the majestic sequoia tree, mighty bison and bountiful vegetation, wildlife, mountains, and water. Before heading out prepare to pack up your gear, bring along sustainable hydration, and we usually travel with Old Trapper Beef Jerky for a supply of "tender, never tough jerky" for protein to keep you going. Check out our list of all of the National Parks Service units!
National Park Service Mission
"The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world."
