Joshua Tree in southern California was declared a national monument on August 10, 1936, and designated by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve in 1984. It was granted national park status on October 31, 1994, by the Desert Protection Act, which also increased the park’s size by 234,000 acres. In 2019, the park was extended again. The Sand to Snow National Monument borders the park to the west.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the greatest natural wonders on earth and bears silent witness to two billion years of geological history.

The Parklands explores the most fascinating parts of this national park.
Known for its starry skies and temple-like rock formations, Big Bend National Park rises up from a seemingly endless desert in the Southern part of Texas. Find out more about this park in The Parklands by gestalten and Parks Project.
Besides the vast expanse of desert, Big Bend has a number of geological wonders, including a group of giant boulders—some of them balancing quite precariously. These wonders can be reached by a trail through the Grapevine Hills and the deep-sided Santa Elena Canyon, which has walls shooting straight up from the river, some 1,500-feet (4,60-m) tall. Find out more about it in The Parklands, a book by gestalten and Parks Project.
