In June and July 2016, I travelled through Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Alaska (via Canada). On my travels, I visited Saguaro, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier (see photo), Wrangell-St. Elias, Denali and Kenai Fjords national parks. This trip was quite possibly the best one that I have ever done. The American National Park system is a truly great invention and I felt privileged to have the chance to explore so many different parts of the great American wilderness
Sincerely,
Glacier National Park

“When the question of what man's greatest invention is comes up, the national park system, alongside UNESCO World Heritage sites, is always at the top of my list. Preserving incredible stretches for the people's education and enjoyment is a marvellous idea and I sincerely hope that the NPCA keeps up its great work.”
