I had no idea how much the National Park Service (NPS) did. Sure, I knew the National Park Rangers are protecting our national treasures, but this video by NPS gave me a new appreciation for all the different roles they play.

There are over 360 National Parks and no matter where you are in the United States, you are within a day's drive of one, did you know that? My goal is to visit at least 10 before I die.

Here's my list of Top 10 National Parks.

A Grand Canyon National Park trivia:
John Hance, early Grand Canyon guide and storyteller, said of the Canyon, "It was hard work, took a long time, but I dug it myself, with a pick and a shovel. If you want to know what I done with the dirt, just look south through a clearin' in the trees at what they call the San Francisco Peaks."
