Pathfinder II
100 years ago today the Nation Park Service was signed into law by Congress through the National Park Service Organic Act and charged with the role of preserving ecological and historical integrity of some of our most precious natural resources while maintaining accessibility to people like me and you.
In 100 years the park service has grown to a total of 58 parks, set in over 400 areas, encompassing over 84 million acres of land, 4.5 million acres of oceans, lakes, and reservoirs, 85,049 miles of rivers and streams, 68,561 archaeological sites, 27,000 historic structures, 12,250 miles of trails, and 8,500 miles of roads. It truly is the most incredible playground in the world.
In celebration of their 100th birthday, the National Park Service is offering free admission to its 58 parks August 25th through 28th. Come on America, our greatest resource is waiting for you. Get out and explore!
