The United States of America is well known for its natural wonderlands and the government has sanctioned certain areas to preserve nature and help people enjoy the beauty of the land when they feel like relaxing. Known as "parklands" their history dates as far back as 1872, when the first National Park in the world was instituted - Yellowstone National Park.
National Parks are present in every state except for Delaware and are known for hot geysers, waterfalls and mountains covered with snow. Wildlife such as bears, deer and elk as well as a variety of wild flowers and trees add to the beauty of the parks.
Some of the parks are famous for the history they tell through the ancient ruins and memorials. Also available are rooms for lodging, if a tourist plans an overnight while visiting. The park staff is always helpful and there are guided tours that give you complete information about the park.
Admission is usually charged to gain entrance to National Parks. There are also fees if you plan on camping or renting a room on the premises. The amount you pay for over night accommodations obviously depends on the type of accommodations you select. In many parks, senior citizens can enjoy all accommodations free of charge.
