Grand Canyon-Parashant National Park wants your stories for centennial anniversary of the National Park Service

Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument

The Independent

Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument joins parks, programs and partners across the country to encourage everyone to find their park and share their stories online at FindYourPark.com. Launched yesterday by the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, Find Your Park is a public awareness and education campaign celebrating the milestone centennial anniversary of the National Park Service in 2016 and setting the stage for its second century of service.

Find Your Park invites the public to see that a national park can be more than a place — it can be a feeling, a state of mind, or a sense of American pride. Beyond vast landscapes, the campaign highlights historical, urban, and cultural parks, as well as the National Park Service programs that protect, preserve and share nature, culture, and history in communities nationwide. 

“Find Your Park” is also the theme for this year’s National Park Week, April 18 – 26. The Interagency Information Center will host an exhibit of historical artifacts spanning 1,500 years and a special solar viewing will be available to the public April 21th from 11:00am-4:30pm. The public is also invited to explore the monument through a rugged and remote 4-wheel drive self-guided experience. It is recommended that visitors contact the Interagency Information Center at 345 East Riverside Dr., St. George, UT, to obtain information on road conditions, a map of the monument, and safety guidelines.
