Three National Parks that Make the US West Coast Awesome

In March of 1872 the United States Congress established Yellowstone National Park in the then territories of Montana and Wyoming. According to the National Parks Service it was to be used as “a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people”.
