America’s national parks belong to you. There are 84 million acres of stunning scenery and historical shrines – and it all belongs to you. You own it. And all that’s asked in return is that you visit them, care for them and then pass it on, unimpaired, to your children – because they and their children Zion National Park, UT will own it, too. It is this fundamental idea, this legacy of stewardship, that is the cornerstone of our parks and the National Park Foundation.
