A. First of all, you can enter Canada with very little hassle but you will need your passport to re-enter the United States so don't forget to carry it with you. That said, here's the route I suggest you take. From Yellowstone take either 191 through West Yellowstone or 89 through Gardiner north to I-90. Go west on I-90 then take 287 north to Helena. In Helena, take I-15 north into Canada. You will enter Canada at the Sweetgrass border crossing where I-15 becomes Hwy 4. The speed limit signs also change from "miles per hour" to "kilometers per hour" so watch your speed. 80 KPH is approximately 50 MPH.

What is the oldest National Park in the UK?
Q. Some folk seem to think that Britain's National Parks go all the way back to like - 1690. But i think that is for like - Private or local Parks? I am asserting that America had the FIRST thing designated a "National Park", but i was told no. What about areas designated as "National Parks" (there is a difference and i guess an international committee, etc.)? I found an answer on my side of the pond - does it agree with what you find?

A. Just enter "Acadia national park" in the search bar on the yahoo home page (or whatever home page you use ) and it will immediately bring up a list. The top entry on that list is the official website of the park. That website clearly states the fees. As part of your paper, you should do the research for yourself...it is really easy and gives you good research experience.

What is the best way to get to Glacier Bay National Park?
Q. I'm planning a road trip this summer from northern California up to Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. However, I'm having trouble figuring out a good way to get into the national park without chartering a private boat or a plane, which might be a little bit out of our budget. I'd like to drive to a point that allows us to spend the least amount of time traveling on the marine highway or by plane. Can someone with more experience with this give me an idea of how to go about doing this?

A. Haines is as close as you're going to get by car. Beyond that, there are no roads, like much of the state. If you just want to see the park, then a flightseeing trip would be the best option. If you plan on hiking around in the park or backpacking, you'll need to find a boat to take you there and pick you up. Either way it's a fairly expensive proposition. Due to its relative inaccessibility, most people visit it via cruise ship.

A. How much time you want to spend at each location really depends on what sort of things you are interested in seeing and doing. There is really not that much to do at Mount Rushmore... you stand at the viewing area and look up at the cliff with the faces carved on it. There is also a small museum and gift shop. It is an impressive sight and worth visiting if you are in the area, but it is hard to imagine spending more than a few hours there.

Photos of people trying to set thier kid on an elk's back or that video of the guy who tried petting the buffalo then paid for it come to mind. Generally a wolf is not going to attack a person out in the wild. A wolf pack is another story all together but it would still be a highly unlikely scenario.

How come you cant butcher a deer in a National Park campground?

The Rangers thought we killed it out of season so they confiscated it. But our friends dad verified our truthfulness. Does the National park owe us a deer??? I am very angry with our government right now.

A. Folks that raise wild game (or almost any exotic animals) brand, tattoo, or tag their animals for precisely this reason! If the deer had properly marked, it would have taken a 10 second inspection, perhaps followed by a 60 second call for verification, and you would have been home free. If your friend's farm doesn't appropriately tag his herd, then I would argue they are the folks that owe you a deer. Of course, if you didn't pay because it was a friend, then no one owes you squat.

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.

You will need to concentrate for a good hour or so to get up to the top. So I would highly suggest to take a car you are comfortable driving. The main roads in Sequoia are all paved so you won't be doing any off-roading if that is what you were worried about. If you actually want to go off-roading you can do that in Mineral King park next to Sequoia Forest. Honestly, the high center of gravity in a SUV is going to be a bad idea.

A. That's a tough question to answer because Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has been managed by the National Park Service since 1916. Humans cannot do anything within the park without permission from the NPS. The Kilauea volcano has been erupting since 1983 and at this point I would say that the volcano has had a greater impact on people than people have had on it. I've seen prehistoric structures built by the ancient Hawaiians disappear under the lava. I've also seen buildings built within the last 50 years disappear under the lava. Humans can only stand by and watch as the lava seeks a path to the ocean. There is very little documentation on the internet regarding human impact on the park.

Q. Hello, I am doing a very important project in my school. I am in 8th grade. I need to know about a potential or current human impact in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I also need to know the population of people there, and what ways have the park officials have tried to minimize the impact? I will be so grateful to anyone who is so kind to help me. I am very stressed out and I can't find the information.

A. That's a tough question to answer because Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has been managed by the National Park Service since 1916. Humans cannot do anything within the park without permission from the NPS. The Kilauea volcano has been erupting since 1983 and at this point I would say that the volcano has had a greater impact on people than people have had on it. I've seen prehistoric structures built by the ancient Hawaiians disappear under the lava. I've also seen buildings built within the last 50 years disappear under the lava. Humans can only stand by and watch as the lava seeks a path to the ocean. There is very little documentation on the internet regarding human impact on the park.

A. Hurricane Ridge and Crescent Lake are both near Port Angeles so that would probably be your best bet. Sequim is not too far away and would be another possibility: Here's a link to compare prices and availability: (be sure to enter the date you need)

A. tuolumne meadows is a good place to base camp, its about 2/3rds thru the park and provides excellent access to the sierra towns of bridgeport and mammoth as we as the june lake loop. you can go just about anywhere in the park from here. one draw back is that it gets busy during the summer and especially on weekends. then again the whole park is busy on weekends. might i suggest going thru the park and going up to bridgeport. the reservoir is big enough to have a spot to yourself and if it gets windy (and it will) you can go to twin lakes or robinson creek, it has public campgrounds along twin lakes road and mono village is at the end. go to the www's below and see for yourself. ~~~*<>{
