National Parks: Article Review

July 1979 edition of National Geographic was dedicated to the National Parks.  I love to look of pictures of National Parks, to places I've been and places I hope to go.  In 1979 the National Park Service managed 306 parks and monuments.  They now manage over 400, of which about 80 are National Parks.  Ulysses Grant signed into law the bill that established Yellowstone National Park in 1872.  The national Park Service was established in 1916.  National Parks represent the most historical, the most beautiful, the most significant of our nation.  In other words the best of the best.  I love looking at the pictures.  This magazine is a keeper.
