AUGUST MARKED THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL PARKS. MY FAMILY DECIDED TO TAKE A NATIONAL PARK ROAD TRIP THIS SUMMER. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS WAS MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL IN KEYSTONE, SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS MOUNTAIN HAS THE HEADS OF FOUR PRESIDENTS CARVED INTO THE SIDE USING DYNAMITE. WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK IS NOT FAR FROM MOUNT RUSHMORE. IT WAS THE FIRST CAVE EVER TO BE A NATIONAL PARK. WIND CAVE IS THE SIXTH-LONGEST CAVE IN THE WORLD. PLUS THE PARK INCLUDES THE PRAIRIE ABOVE THE CAVE, HOME TO BISON, PRAIRIE DOGS, AND OTHER ANIMALS. THE LAST NATIONAL PARK I WENT TO WAS BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK. IF YOU HAVEN’T GONE TO A NATIONAL PARK YET, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THIS IS HENRY BONOMOLO FROM VENTANA VISTA FOR BEAR ESSENTIAL NEWS.
