My favorite National Historic Park is Chaco Canyon NM
And the one I still hope to see one day is Yellowstone.
But whatever US NP I have seen - they were all gorgeous

Well, not in MY back yard, but it's part of our North Forty!

Does Germany have National Parks?

I love our National Park system!! Whenever we are nearby one, we always go. I've been to quite a few, and I don't think I could pick a favorite. There are many in Colorado, but I haven't been to Mesa Verde or Dinosaur Ridge yet. Hope you don't mind if I share a few pictures of the ones we have seen in Colorado- I'd encourage everyone to come see it in person, too!

Here's Rocky Mountain National Park- the most popular park here.


The Sand Dunes- which is sooo amazing in person.




Colorado National Monument


I have Black Canyon pictures, too, but they aren't online, so I guess I'll restrain myself. Anyone have any pictures they took of their local parks?

Does Germany have National Parks?

Yes it has- but not very many.

I remember vividly one state? park in Germany. There's a park in Mannheim which is home to the only buffalo herd outside of North America. We were riding through on bicycles, and my traveling companions had forgotten to mention the buffalo......Thanks guys!

It's funny, because last night we watched "Night at the Museum 2" (free from Redbox, gotta love it) and the Teddy Roosevelt character claimed to have founded the National Park system, so it's easy to see where the rumors come from. Not that I get my facts from popular culture, but it's easy to do!

I think pictures would be great, Jill, thanks for sharing yours! I just don't have any handy, but next time ...

LOLOLOL,

American or European?


Monty Python did a movie about King Arthur seaerching for the Holy Grail.

His entourage gets to a bridge guarded by a being who asks a queston-if your answer the question correctly you can cross, if you get it wrong you get tossed into the abyss!

The guardian of the bridge asks Arthur about the speed of a laden swallow....

Watch it for yourself?

Thanks, RICHARD.

I clicked the link originally posted by Grace: to find a park and was surprised at how many there are even here. I had sort of forgotten, for example, that the famous Lexington and Concord battle site would be a National Park!

I encourae everyone to click and see what gems they may discover nearby!

While waiting for a reply from the Mayor, here are 4 non National Park pictures as a teaser, I have 80+ at least. [EDIT]None of my pics are from National Parks, they are from state parks or from game refuges.[/EDIT]

Love that last shot! Verde, head navigator!

State parks count, too! I think ... and of course any that include the pups are extra good!

LOL! Verde isnt very fond of being on the raft, so she makes a poor navigator.

OK its Alaska Nature Pron Time! If you are on dial up this could hurt.
