The year 2016 is the 100th anniversary of the U.S. National Park Service. Adventurer and traveler Mikah Meyer is celebrating in a big way. He is traveling all across America. He plans to visit each of more than 400 National Park Service sites.
Meyer is 30 years old. If he reaches his goal, he will become the youngest person to visit all of the sites within the National Park Service. He will also be the only person to ever do so in one trip. He started his journey in Washington, D.C. in June. Since then, he has visited more than 30 sites.
During his visit, Meyer said he watched a park staff member making baskets at the park's gift shop. The staff let Meyer use some tools to work with the stone himself. "It was fun to be able to use it with your own hands," Meyer said.
Another place that holds special meaning for native Americans is a national monument in the state of Iowa. Here in Iowa, there are more than 200 small hills or mounds. They are in the shapes of birds, bears, deer and turtles. They sit in one of the most scenic parts of the Upper Mississippi River Valley. They are part of the Effigy Mounds National Monument. Meyer said he was happy to spend the week in the National Park.
