Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is the only national park in the state. It’s a unique experience. Many privately owned homes and properties are peppered throughout the area. However, the train came first and the town was built up around it. When the area was designated a national park in 2000, so when the national park declared boundaries it had to work around the privately own land and buildings giving it a strange structure. The best way to experience the park is to take a train tour. It also has over 125 miles of hiking trails. Directions Address:6947 Riverview RoadPeninsula, OH 44264(41° 15’45.3″ N) (81°…

National monuments have objects of historical, cultural, and/or scientific interest.” The Great Sand Dunes National Park was designated on September 24, 2004. That being said, Great Sand Dunes is small by comparison but should be identified as a National Park simply because it’s one hell of a view. GSD is the largest Sand dune in North America, and reaches an outstanding 750 feet high. It’s very bizarre to be driving along southern Colorado, and…

Dinosaur National Monument
Dinosaur National Monument- Fossil Quarry Dinosaur Quarry The original Dinosaur Quarry was built in the 1950s on unstable clay and even during construction problems started. Damage to the parking area appeared almost immediately. Eventually, cracks in the structure split and grew, there were gaps showing where the building was pulling away from the rock wall.

Thirdly, the most disconcerting details came from the staff who reported the second story gallery…
