From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A national park is a reserve of natural or semi-natural land, declared or owned by a government, set aside for human recreation and enjoyment, and protected from most development. While ideas for national parks had been suggested previously, what is held to be the first one established was the United States' Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined National Parks as its category II type of protected areas. The largest national park in the world meeting the IUCN definition is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974. According to the IUCN, there are now 6,555 national parks worldwide (2006 figure). From Wikipedia under the

Q. I'm planning on going to Yosemite National Park for a weekend of hiking and enjoying nature. When do you recommend is the best time to visit the park? I have from now until June. Asked by The Answer God - Sat Jan 12 19:15:35 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have been to Yosemite every season. My two favorites is the winter and spring. The winter is great because of less crowds, beautiful snow, ice skating and snow skiing. May is great too. Go before Memorial day though, cause it really gets crowded after that. The water falls are running like crazy at that time. Hike Vernal falls, but bring like a rain coat, for you will get soaked hiking up to the falls. If you want to hike half dome, remember that the cables don't go up till about memorial day or so. Check their web site for that. I LOVE that park and go every year at least once. I never get tired of it.
