Little Grand Canyon
Do you think all beautiful, natural sites are meant to be seen? I am against the federal government's decision not to make Providence Canyon a national park and I believe that Providence Canyon should become a national park for numerous reasons.

One reason for this is all the beautiful attractions the "Little Grand Canyon" offers to people. In the first paragraph, it says, "Travelers who visit the forested areas near Lumpkin, Georgia, often think they have made a few wrong turns and have ended up in America's southwest instead of Georgia's southwest. That's because of the beautiful sandstone formations found in an area nicknamed Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon." As you can see this is explaining that people have argued over this for years,

    Yucca Mountain. Just a mountain you may think, but not just any mountain. A mountain that our Congressmen decided would be a great repository storage facility for spent nuclear reactor fuel and other radioactive waste. 196 billion dollars were spent towards this project. Back in 1987, this project was the ideal project to store radioactive waste. As the 1990’s and 2000’s crept in, Nevada’s residents were against this idea big time. Funding for the Yucca Mountain Repository was discontinued by Congress in February 2010. I disagree with this discontinuation.…

    Firstly, there is the question of the site of the memorial building in which Clark’s statue and the murals are contained. It is placed at a site that was believed to be the original location of Fort Sackville. In spite of this, there has been no archeological evidence that has shown its actual location. All the National Park service maintains is that the fort undoubtedly lies within the park's boundaries. Regardless, this situation presented the memorial’s architect, Hirons, with the opportunity to impart a significant degree of Bias when choosing the exact site to construct the building and other large park structures. This could result in a misrepresentation of the historical locations for visitors, albeit…

    Letchworth State Park

    • 1334 Words
    • 6 Pages

    When visiting Letchworth State Park, the most enticing feature of the place is the gorge itself. In fact, when browsing websites or looking over park brochures, a potential visitor cannot escape the gratuitous (and ubiquitous) comparison of the park to an even more famous landmark. The nickname "Grand Canyon of the East" most likely refers to views of the structure in the Big Bend area of the park, where the exposed stone shares a similar texture and color to the Grand Canyon, but the gorge at Letchworth is very diverse. A New York state geological study of the gorge states, "The physical character of Letchworth gorge varies along its length. The upper and lower sections of the gorge are narrow and deep, cut into the bedrock. In contrast, the middle section is a still deep but broad, relatively flat bottomed valley". It…

    Situated north of Grand Canyon National Park, the Glen Canyon Dam serves a multitude of purposes: it controls the distribution of sediment and water, generates $50 to $100 million worth of hydroelectricity, maintains a cold-water trout fishery, and allows for recreational activities in Lake Powell (NRC 1). However, it has also incurred damages to the surrounding environment, which holds cultural significance for the indigenous tribes. In 1988, former Secretary of the Interior Manuel Lujan initiated the Glen Canyon Dam Environmental Impact Studies (EIS) to examine the downstream impact of dam operations. The USBR was first to join the EIS, followed by the National Park Service and state agencies (Austin and Drye 288). However, tribal involvement…

    I recently backpacked 32 miles through the Grand Canyon National Park over spring break. My trip leader told me, “Sorry I made you guys pack so many warm jackets and clothes, its usually not in the 90’s during this time of year”. Just like that I thought to myself, I could have had a lighter pack but I also thought about how global warming is real and its everywhere, even in the vastest lands. Like astronomer Lucianne Walkowicz said and I mentioned in my previous paper, “the more you look for planets like Earth, the more you appreciate our own planet” I came to a realization just buy exploring the Grand Canyon how important the rule of leaving no trace behind really is. The Grand Canyon National Park, as well as other parks really enforce this…
