TIME America's National Parks: 100 Years of Preserving Our Land and Heritage
When the National Park Service was born in 1916, its mission was to preserve America’s most distinctive natural spaces including the amazing Grand Canyon, the majestic Redwoods in California as well as Yellowstone Park, Acadia National Park and many more. In addition, beginning in 1933, the NPS began to protect the nation’s heritage as well. Today the agency welcomes guests to Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace, Thomas Edison’s laboratory and many more treasured byways of our national life including the majestic parks that most people associate with the service.
Now, the editors of TIME bring you America’s National Parks: 100 Years of Preserving Our Land and Heritage, an all–new special edition that celebrates the centennial year of the National Park Service and is devoted to exploring some of the nation’s favorites among them—as well as some of the most rewarding, most distant and least known of the parks. With lavish photography, essays, statistics and facts, America’s National Parks will inspire years of travel ideas across the United States.
