National Parks/Monuments -  Our national park system has preserved  some of the world's most beautiful natural wonders for the use and enjoyment of us all.   Stroll down any of the thousands of miles of trails that meander throughout these parks and you will be awed  by unusual landscapes of unimaginable beauty.  These photographs, taken in the regional parks nearest my home, depict only the tiniest fraction of the scenery that you will view when you visit our national parks.   I hope they will inspire you to explore these fascinating lands on your own.
