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

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?

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!

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?
