Yellowstone National Park was the first in the world to hold the designation National Park. The park celebrated it's centennial in 1972 marking 100 year of protection and preservation. This year marks another big event, the centennial of the National Park Service whom protect and preserve Yellowstone and all of the other sites under their care. I'm sure that there will be celebrations happening in all of the satellite communities. I also expect the biggest to be in Gardiner, Montana which is the closest community to the parks headquarters in Mammoth Hot Springs.
I have read that community leaders in Gardiner are trying to attract president Obama to the community for the celebration that will take place on August 25th, 2016. I would expect big things to happen in Gardiner as well as all of the other communities in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Here's what Arch Park looked like back in the day, I wonder how it will look in 2016.

2016 will bring amazing events to all of these amazing places. I sure hope that you get out and explore your National Parks in 2016 for the Centennial.
