Web Site of the Week: National Park Service
Posted by: Christine Bulson

If you are still deciding on a destination for vacation, nps.gov is the site for you.   Gov. web sites are usually well-designed and the National Park Service is no exception.  To find a park there is searching by state, name, activity or topic.  Activity includes everything from auto touring to wildlife viewing.  The site also has information on scenic rivers, national heritage sites, memorials, monuments, historic sites, seashores, etc. so the topic search covers from American Presidents to Wildflowers.  Other information on nps.gov includes news, events, photos and multimedia presentations and information for teachers and kids. There are more than ten possibilites for me to visit within 100 miles of my home.  Where shall I go?
