The National Parks are a great place to hear about stories of America’s people and places and learn about the rich natural resources that can be found in the USA.
• Lava Beds National Monument, California - Volcanic eruptions created a high desert wonderland of more than 800 caves, Native American rock art sites, historic battlefields and Valor in the Pacific.
