Enjoy your visit. www.nps.gov www.nps.gov/parks.html www.us-parks.com Top Ten National Parks for Wildlife Viewing Channel Islands - Comprising of five of the eight California Channel Islands, Channel Islands National Park is home to a wide variety of nationally and internationally significant natural and cultural resources. Over 2,000 species of plants and animals can be found within the park. One hundred and forty-five of these species are unique to the islands and found nowhere else in the world. Archeological and cultural resources span a period of more than 10,000 years. The isolation of the islands has left them relatively undeveloped, making them an exciting place for visitors to explore. Big Bend - Sometimes considered "three parks in one," Big Bend includes mountain, desert, and river environments. An hour's drive can take you from the banks of the Rio Grande to a mountain basin nearly a mile high. Here, you can explore one of the last remaining wild corners of the United States, and experience unmatched sights, sounds, and solitude. Denali - Welcome to the Denali National Park & Preserve Photo Gallery. These photos offer just a glimpse of the park's majestic mountains and breathtaking scenery. The best way to experience Denali's unspoiled beauty is to visit, and see it for yourself. Everglades - The largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. The area boasts rare and endangered species, such as the American crocodile, Florida panther, and West Indian manatee. It has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, in recognition of its significance to all the people of the world. Glacier - Come and experience the pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and lakes. A hiker's paradise with over 700 miles of trails. Glacier Bay - a unique and powerful place. The marine wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve includes tidewater glaciers, snow-capped mountain ranges, ocean coastlines, deep fjords, and freshwater rivers and lakes. This diverse land and seascape hosts a mosaic of plant communities and a variety of marine and terrestrial wildlife. Isle Royale - Physical isolation and primitive wilderness challenged human use for centuries; ironically today it has become the Island's main attraction. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, visitors come to experience this island park through hiking its trails, paddling its inland waterways, exploring its rugged coast, or venturing into the depth of its shipwrecks. Rocky Mountain - This living showcase of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, with elevations ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet, grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Longs Peak, provides visitors with opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures. Theodore Roosevelt - The colorful North Dakota badlands provides the scenic backdrop to the park which memorializes the 26th president for his enduring contributions to the conservation of our nation's resources. The park contains 70,447 acres divided among three units: South Unit, North Unit and the Elkhorn Ranch Unit. In the park you will find badlands, open prairie, hard wood draws, bison, prairie dogs and other wildlife, the Little Missouri River, and a past history that includes Theodore Roosevelt. Yellowstone - Established in 1872 as America's first national park. Located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bear, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
