National parks around the world not only protect unique natural environments and biodiversity, but also provide visitors with the opportunity to experience the magical earth. Different parks have different scenery. Let's take a look at which ones.
1. Grand Canyon National Park
The grandeur of the Grand Canyon lies not only in its varied peaks and cliffs, but also in the changing colors. Due to the different rock properties and minerals contained in the two walls of the canyon, under the sunlight, they show different colors. For example, iron ore will be colorful, other oxides will show various dim tones, and quartz will show white. Grand Canyon National Park is rich in wildlife. More than 90 species of animals and more than 180 species of birds have been discovered. In the canyon, cypress trees and dwarf pines are lush, wild flowers are lush, and plants include cacti, poppies, spruce, fir and so on.
