My name is Dan. I'm a student at Downers Grove North. I play football and baseball and am a very active person.

The two national parks I was assigned to do are very interesting. There were two very good and informational websites on Arches and Capitol Reef.

Basic information on the parks:
Capitol Reef-Established August 2, 1937 as national park by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Elevation 8,255 feet above sea level
Located in the heart of the grand canyon
It is 241,904 acres in all.
