The National Parks of the U. S. are among the most treasured playgrounds of US citizens, and for years they have enjoyed the tranquillity, peace and closeness to nature these wonderful places afforded them. American Holidays are now delighted to present them to you together with our specially chosen properties some of which are actually located right in the National Parks. Yellowstone Park, Wyoming Established on March 1, 1872, Yellowstone National Park is the first and oldest national park in the world. Preserved within Yellowstone are Old Faithful Geyser and some 10,000 hot springs and geysers, the majority of the planet's total. These geothermal wonders are evidence of one of the world's largest active volcanoes; its last eruption created a crater that spans almost half of the park. An outstanding mountain wilderness with clean water and air, Yellowstone is home of the grizzly bear and wolf, and free- ranging herds of bison and elk. It is the core of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact temperate zone ecosystems remaining on the planet. Monument Valley Monument Valley provides perhaps the most enduring and definitive images of the American West. The isolated red mesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert have been filmed and photographed countless times over the years for movies, adverts and holiday brochures. Because of this, the area may seem quite familiar, even on a first visit, but it is soon evident that the natural colours really are as bright and deep as those in all the pictures. The valley is not a valley in the conventional sense, but rather a wide flat, sometimes desolate landscape, interrupted by the crumbling formations rising hundreds of feet into the air, the last remnants of the sandstone layers that once covered the entire region. Yosemite National Park, California Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular tract of mountain- and- valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, which was set aside as a national park in 1890. The park harbours a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. Death Valley National Park, California Death Valley National Park has more than 3.3 million acres of spectacular desert scenery, interesting and rare desert wildlife, complex geology, undisturbed wilderness, and sites of historical and cultural interest. Bounded on the west by 11,049 foot Telescope Peak and on the east by 5,475 foot Dante's View, Badwater is the lowest point (- 282 feet) in the western hemisphere. Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona Located entirely in northern Arizona, the park encompasses 277 miles of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. One of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world, Grand Canyon is unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. Grand Canyon National Park is a World Heritage Site. Expect crowds during the spring, summer, and fall months. During these months reservations for camping and lodging are essential. When visiting the South Rim, be sure to go to Canyon View Information Plaza, there you will find information to help plan your Grand Canyon visit. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah At Bryce Canyon National Park, erosion has shaped colourful Claron limestones, sandstones, and mudstones into thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles, and mazes. Collectively called " hoodoos," these colourful and whimsical formations stand in horseshoe- shaped amphitheatres along the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in Southern Utah. Zion National Park, Utah Zion is an ancient Hebrew word meaning a place of refuge or sanctuary. Protected within the park's 229 square miles is a dramatic landscape of sculptured canyons and soaring cliffs. Zion is located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin and Mojave Desert provinces. This unique geography and the variety of life zones within the park make Zion significant as a place of unusual plant and animal diversity. 54Reservations: Dublin 01 673 3800 or Belfast 028 9051 1800 National Parks Details of hotels in Bryce and Zion can be accessed on www. americanholidays. com
