Did you know that highly trafficked areas like Niagara Falls are best for solo hiking? Highly populated areas such as Niagara falls are exquisite hiking spots for novice hikers, even if someone is hiking a simple trail, it is pivotal that people are notified of the individual's whereabouts.

It is often noted that one can never truly understand the beauty of life until they go and experience it. This idea parallels with getting to know who they really are and figuring out what their purpose in life genuinely is, which not many people cannot comprehend. Everyone has different fears, desires, and feelings, but not until you live a life of new experiences do you harness your true self. Growing through experiences and connecting with nature allows someone to more deeply reflect on their individual purpose on Earth and discover their own definition of happiness. Henry David Thoreau comments on this even further by proposing that the disconnection from a society in which we are comfortable is the only way to cultivate an understanding of ourselves. Chris McCandless sets out on an adventure in a life absent of routine to push his boundaries and prove that he could make it on his own, finding the meaning of life in the process. Henry David Thoreau’s statement “Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves”, is correct, as evidenced by Jon Krakauer’s novel Into the Wild.

Yellowstone National Park, untamed wild beauty. Stunning landscapes, beautiful waterfalls and rivers, breathtaking wildlife, and geothermal activity all come together to make Yellowstone an amazing place. People come from all over the world to witness the beauty of Yellowstone. It is a regulated national park for a reason, it is so amazing, so beautiful, so spectacular to not preserve it. It hosts bison, elk, deer, bald eagles, bears, moose, beavers, and amazing trout rivers, everything a perfect mountain ecosystem should hold. However now there is something else, something that is natural, was removed but has now returned, flourishing and benefiting its surroundings. Wolves, have been reintroduced into Yellowstone and have greatly benefited the area. These wolves have started a positive and beneficial renewal in the park. The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park is beneficial because they created and natural and beneficial trophic cascade, other animals in the park benefited from the wolves, and because the land was able to regrow and flourish due to the wolves’ presence.

Today was an exciting day, my family and I went on a trip to the Yellowstone National Park! I was shocked at the history of the park. The park has been around for almost 11,000 years. We had to take a plane because it is located almost in all of Wyoming, but does go into Montana and Idaho, so I got to visit three states. It is one of the United States well known parks and visited by millions, including myself. The tour guide was very helpful in giving us information about the park. The earliest visit recorded was back in the 1800s. The people of Montana did not want development of the land that lead to President Ulysses S. Grant to preserve the land and make it a park. The people refused to have mining and logging to destroy their land.

“Good morning! Today we will be going to Yosemite National Park. I hope you are prepared…” Eddie, the tourist guide, announced a little too enthusiastically for an early morning after my family and I entered the bus. Taking a seat by the window, I tried drowning him out with my music, and then proceeded to sigh when I could still clearly hear him through my headphones. I was annoyed, but not because I did want to go to Yosemite; I just did not want spend time with the group of loud and obnoxious tourists on the bus. When my family and I first agreed to go on a tour of Yosemite, I was excited because I had never been there and I had heard many positive reviews about its scenery. That day, however, it was hot, I was worried about starting college soon, and all I wanted was to sleep comfortably without a Chinese tourist behind me complaining about the American government. “Great,” I thought sarcastically to myself, “what a fun trip.” When we reached Yosemite, however, my attitude completely changed. Although I was still with the group of loud tourists, I was able to mentally escape from them and my worries for the short duration in Yosemite. The immense cliffs, everlasting sequoias, beautiful waterfalls, and abundant wildlife were mesmerizing and for the first time in a while, I felt humble and small, as if I were just a tiny ant in an incredibly huge world. We, as humans, often forget our relationship with Mother Nature, but this trip to Yosemite had reminded me of this

All around the world we have National Parks that are protected areas by the government. John Muir was enraptured by it and Ansell Adame immortalized it, while Teddy Roosevelt created the National Park Service to protect these National Parks. These nationals parks are very important to keep for the environment, we all need to work together to keep these parks as nature as possible.

In their article, “Can the Selfie Generation Unplug and Get Into Parks?” (Egan and Egan), they wrote about the difficulties they faced when they left to experience the calm, natural world in some their national parks. They spoke about the withdraws they felt when they lost their service and that “The NBA finals­the championship!­remained unknown to us in our digital desert. The U.S. presidential campaign was in turmoil, and of course I wondered, What had Donald Trump said now?” (Egan and Egan). Even though they knew they were fixing to set forth on a rejuvenating journey through nature, they were still concerned about the everyday news they hear constantly, and why would they not? Those are the everyday, normal habits they have, but after traveling through the parks and other natural wonders of the world, Casey in his mid­20’s revealed that, “It has started to grow on him­the idea that his generation had a duty to ensure that people could stand atop Ryan Mountain a hundred years from now and take in the same things (Egan and Egan). Even though in the beginning of the father­son trip they were both discouraged about what they had begun, once they took in what they had been missing for so long, they realized that it did not matter what was going on in technological world because they were experiencing something much more rewarding. If funding is cut, and national parks are not preserved the way they should

In 2016, the National Park Service (NPS) celebrated 100 years of preservation and conservation of our nation’s parks, monuments, and historical sites. Currently, the federal government has proposed significant proposed budget cuts to the National Park Service. If the government makes these cuts, then Americans could lose the national parks along with the beauty, culture, and history that comes with them. This would happen because the NPS would lose most of its funding that is needed in order to keep the national parks well­preserved. Investing in the NPS should be a priority in our nation because it provides educational programs, unites all ages and races, and preserves and conserves the national parks.

The President, during a ceremony at the White House Oval Office said that the country's national parks and national monuments reminds us of the richness of the country’s history. It is something that is passed on from generation to generation. It also helps us preserve the beauty of this great nation.

Today the USFS has a budget twice the amount of NPS, but this is realistic due to the USFS having twice the amount of land. The budget has improved but the parks are still suffering immensely. I feel that education of the public will be a key factor in saving our parks, however the question becomes how do you convince the public to care about a place

summer. From Yellowstone to Ellis Island, the 412 places that NPS protects tell America’s story” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). One of the issues with America’s national parks is they don’t appear on any national balance sheet. This is mostly because it’s hard to put a value on them. “Past attempts to answer” the question of value “have typically been focused on how much money visitors spend in or around the parks” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). In a study Linda Bilmes and John Loomis conducted of the National Park Service, they sought to “develop the first­ever comprehensive assessment of what the parks are worth to the public” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). Over 700 households were questioned and analized on “how much they would pay in increased taxes to preserve those areas for themselves and their grandchildren” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). “They calculated Americans put a total value of US$92 billion per year on our national parks, monuments, seashores, and recreation areas. However, what they also concluded is that America is not funding the park system at a level that reflects its value” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016).
