National Park Mountain

The mountain to share this week as it is National Park week.

Sat, Apr 22, 2023 - Sun, Apr 30, 2023

 

National Park Week is a time to reflect on what parks mean to us, enjoy what they provide to their visitors and communities, and commit to protecting these places we cherish.

 

Was a nice surprise to see this peak receive the honor of this great name. Millions drive by yearly probably without recognizing it's importance and significance. On March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. The world's first national park was born.

 

"National Park Mountain (7,553 ft or 2,302 m) rises above the confluence of the Firehole River and the Madison River and is just west of Madison Junction." Wikipedia

 

Our Park's are vital, precious and priceless. And look now how many grand parks have been preserved worldwide since. Thank you!
