Pueblos, an ancestral people
of North America who were
composed of various tribes.

national park in the world. Created in 1872,
it is famous for its hot springs and geysers.

meadows, dizzying canyons and translucent
lakes. It's the best of what nature has to
offer, and the colors of the landscape are
sure to leave a lasting impression.
Yellowstone is home to many endemic plant
species, and conifers are particularly
common. ext
Zion National Park, Utah
Calm and serenity, here are two words
that fit very well with the atmosphere
found in Zion National Park. The hiking
takes place in beautiful landscapes that
have been shaped by the Virgin River
and its tributaries.
Zion Canyon is the most visited part of the park, and for good reason! The
beauty of the Narrows carved by the river, the cliffs of The Sentinel and the
natural pools and waterfalls of Emerald Pools are all breathtaking The fauna
and flora are also incredibly rich.y text
