A bit of 'food for thought'...
Hi Isa,
In my opinion, and it wasn't intended to do so (I started the article), the article is ment to be much broader.
I am planning to make one for other countries as well, for example South Africa. There you have the national park organisation as well, but some 'famous' ones like Madikwe and Pilanes are not on that as well, and sometimes are rather called a reserve or something.
So it can certainly be much bigger, including the ones you mention and including monuments etc.
Cheers
Michael.
Thanks Michael.
The US has 58 National Parks/Protected Areas under the NPS, so lots of choices. But, several Nations also have control over some spectacular places. Just 17 miles from Mount Rushmore is the Crazy Horse Memorial, located on Lakota Tribal (Sioux Nation) sacred land. Construction began in 1936 and is still on-going. (It's been the target of several controversial issues which have slowed it's creation.)
There are the Anasazi Indian ruins which are located around the four corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. There even a plaque in the ground at the four corners spot. You can literally be in 4 states at once.
Three Samoan islands are protected so more diving opportunities, volcanos in Hawaii and Denali in Alaska. Even the Dry Tortugas off Key West are protected. Contains Fort Jefferson which is the largest masonry structure in the western hemisphere.
But, I digress...
