  The Grand Canyon
The United States has an extensive series of national parks [1], monuments, historic sites, shorelines, and scenic trails that protect natural and cultural sites throughout the country.
Most national monuments and all national parks are units of the United States National Park Service (NPS) and are shown on the accompanying NPS maps. A few monuments and preserves do not appear on the maps, as they are instead managed by the National Forest Service (USDA FS), Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) or Bureau of Land Management (BLM). As of 2007, the "National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass" [2] sold by the NPS for $80 ($10 for seniors over 62) allows free entrance to all sites managed by these organizations.
