Want to pack some gear and head into the great outdoors but unsure where to go? Look no further than the hundreds of national parks that dot this planet. Countries around the world have, for years, designated areas rich in biodiversity and natural beauty as national parks as a way to preserve their landscape, wildlife and history. Featured in today"s image is Yellowstone National Park in the US state of Wyoming. Known for its abundant wildlife, geothermal features and beautiful waterfalls, like the Lower Falls we see here, it was the first national park in the country. But no matter which park you visit, it is important that you explore them with care and appreciation so that they can be preserved for centuries to come.
