add to cart   close window

The article presents information about one of the cheapest but one of the most richly rewarding vacations available in summers is a visit to a national park. In fact, the National Park Service expects a large number of visitors in the year 1947 in the 170 areas under its supervision. Of these, twenty-seven are National Parks; others are historical sites and monuments. Most of the big wild parks are in the West, far from populous regions. The only ones in the East are Acadia in Maine, Shenandoah in Virginia and the Great Smokies in Tennessee and North Carolina. To most people in the U.S., the thought of a visit to a national park conjures up a picture of Old Faithful, the fabulous geyser at Yellowstone Park.
