Welcome to National Park Information!
This website was created to provide you with information and links to one of North Americas greatest assests... our National Parks! We provide you with an overview of the natural features and wildlife that are unique to the specific park. The diversity of landscapes, habitat and wildlife are truly amazing. You can observe large mammals like grizzly bears and wolves in Yellowstone National Park, rattlesnakes and hummingbirds at Big Bend, and alligators in the Florida Everglades.

The scenery and special geology make many of the parks a special place where you can just sit back and enjoy the view. Yosemite, Banff and Glacier National Parks are famous for the rugged mountains and spectacular waterfalls. Sequoia Park has the huge Sequoia trees... big enough to drive a car through! Of course the Grand Canyon, Arches, Zion and Big Bend National Parks provide the spectacular canyons,cliffs and rock formations of the southwest deserts. Several of the parks are located where the land meets the oceans. These parks include Olympic National Park, Acadia and the Everglades.

The history of the National Parks is as diverse as the wildlife and scenery. Yellowstone was the first National Park to be established and was first run by the Army. The railroad empires were very involved with the development of Glacier and Banff National Parks. Shenandoah National Park was the scene of many Civil War battles and cattle ranchers settled in the valley near Grand Teton National Park.

Many people head to the National Parks for the recreational activities which include rock climbing, rafting, bird watching, hiking and of course camping! Many of the parks like Glacier, Yellowstone, Banff, Rocky Mountain and Yosemite are famous for the backpacking and backcountry camping. The mountain weather makes the experience a challenge and it isn't uncommon to experience a snowstorm during every month of the year. Campgrounds in the parks can fill up early and are on a first-come-first-served basis. There is usually ample additional camping outside the parks if you get there too late.

The National Parks also offer some very unique lodging experiences. Glacier National Park has the famous backcountry chalets. Banff and Yellowstone have the large Banff Springs Hotel and the Yellowstone Inn as well as numerous small quaint cabins for rent. Lodging adjacent to the parks usually consists of hotels and rental cabins. One of the most famous is The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park. Remember the movie "The Shining"? It was filmed at The Stanley Hotel and staying there will provide you with memories that will last a lifetime!
