National Park Service Turns 100 Today – Some Disney, Hawaii & Alaska Pictures

While not 100% Disney related I still thought it was worth mentioning that the National Park Service turns 100 today.  By extension if you visit Disney or do an Adventures by Disney you can visit some of the parks.  Earlier this year Disney honored this fact during the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival with a topiary display.  Here are a couple pictures from it:

Over the years I have been lucky enough to visit several national parks around the country.   Some of the most interesting to me were in our newest states, Alaska & Hawaii.   Here are some picture sets from them:
