Monument Madness 2020!!!

Did you know that National Park Service manages 419 different national parks? Only 62 of the units hold the prestigious title of National Park. These big names such as Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, and Grand Canyon often hough the limelight. All of these big names deserve the attention but there are some fantastic National Monument waiting to be explored.

Since many of us are stuck at home self-isolating and can’t get / shouldn’t get out and explore our parks, we are going to an epic educational competition of between 32 of the most amazing National Monuments from across the United States.
