Celebrating 100 years the National Park Services, Yellowstone National Park had a 3% increase in visitors this September, and this couldn't make me happier. As one of the lucky kids when I was growing up, visiting this park will always be with me. This article is just a short article showing how visitors increased this year thanks to decreased gas prices and The National Park Services 100th birthday. I encourage everyone to look into, not only Yellowstone, but all of the other national parks that the United States has to offer. The more visitors the parks get, the more money they get to update the services they provide. They offer great learning tools for kids, beautiful sites you can't see anywhere else, and interactive activities that get the adults involved along side the kids. Yellowstone National Park has had its share of ups and downs, but no matter what this park will always be beautiful, different, and memorable.
