Yosemite National Park (Yosemite) in the state of California was founded by decree of US President Abraham Lincoln in 1864 (initially as a nature reserve). This was the first time that the US government established special rules for the use of scenic nature in order to preserve it intact for posterity. “No temple built by human hands can compare to Yosemite,” wrote John Muir, one of America's pioneers of nature parks. Yosemite Valley is a canyon 11 km long and about 1.5 km wide, initially cut by the Merced River, and then expanded by a descending glacier. Yosemite National Park (Yosemite)
Yellowstone National Park (Yellowstone) is the very first national park in the world, which was founded in 1872. It is located in the United States on a territory belonging to three states at once: Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Today Yellowstone is one of the last large ecosystems on our planet in the temperate northern latitude. The Yellowstone Natural Park has more than 300 geysers in the mouth of a giant supervolcano (Yellowstone Caldera), as well as picturesque canyons and many beautiful waterfalls. It is also a natural habitat for the wild bison (buffalo) that once roamed the great Plains in abundance. Besides them, you can meet bears, wolves, coyotes, deer and elk here.

Acadia National Park is located in Maine and is the first US national park located east of the Mississippi River. Acadia is America's easternmost national park, so it is here that you can see the sunrise over the territory of the United States one of the very first. The main attraction among the more than 3.5 million tourists who come to the park every year is the incredible encounter of ocean and mountains on Mount Desert Island, which is a patchwork of forests and villages.
