A national park in the United Dtates that I would really like to visit is Yellowstone National Park. When I was young I remember my parents telling me about their visit there and I have wanted to see it ever since.
It is also a very historic place. It was the first national park in the United States and located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho!
Yellowstone has a long history. The human history of this park started more then 11,000 thousand years ago! This area has been the home to many Native Americans up until the very recent past. About 200 hundred years ago the first European people came to the park. In 1872 Yellowstone was established as the first National Park in the United States. This started a new concept of preserving for future generations in our country.
Along with a great history Yellowstone is home to many different things. Old Faithful, the gyser that would faithfully erupt every hour at the same time, is located in Yellowstone. There are many other geysers in this park too. Yellowstone has a lot of wildlife. It is home to Grizzley bears, wolves, bison, elk, and many other animals.
In Costa Rica you can visit the Rincón de la Vieja National Park. Like Yellowstone you can see a lot of wildlife there but the kinds of wildlife are a little different there. At Ricón you can see monkeys, jaguars, tapirs, and numerous birds and reptiles. In Chile you can visit Torres Del Paine National Park. Like Yellowstone Torres Del Paine's history goes back a long time. Their famous peaks formed millions of years ago. Torres has a lot of wildlife like Yellowstone but the types of wildlife are a bit different also.
There are many great National Parks all around the world! They are a great place to visit!
