Natural Beauty At U.S. Nat’l Parks BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM
National parks are America’s prized treasures. Visitors come from all over the world to see our gorgeous landscapes, snow-peaked mountains, vast deserts, lush forests and iconic coastlines. These protected areas, home to unique geological features and wildlife, are not only wonderful for sightseeing, but are valuable to maintaining the biodiversity humanity needs to survive. The America the Beautiful Annual Pass is your ticket to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites, including all 59 national parks. The $80 cost covers entrance for all passengers in a single vehicle and is free for current military members. Turn the page for just a taste of what United States national parks have to offer.
