National Parks Movement grows through an army of enthusiasts
A 1920s overview notes a national park movement backed by a 5,000,000 member network of organizations and a Congress responsive to outdoor recreation. It highlights nine national park units, upcoming openings like Rocky Mountain and Grand Canyon, and 1924 26 road and trail projects under the National Park Highway Act. It also references Glacier Bay, Redwood groves, and the fate of elk in Yellowstone amid expansion and education efforts across parks.
