Introduction: Have you ever wanted to travel cross-country? What would you see? What would you do? Come with us as we explore our great nation and all the magnificent physical features that have been formed over millions of years.
We will be taking a trip to three different United States Parks in three different regions of our country. As you are on your journey, think of the park and landforms you would like to further explore. You will be choosing one to research and share with the class. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy your trip from the comfort of your own classroom. Badlands National Park The Grand Canyon National Park Assateague National Seashore
Badlands National Park If fossils, amazing scenery and hiking sound interesting to you, then the Badlands should be your choice! The Badlands are located in South Dakota.
