On this day in history, two national parks were established in the United States 10 years apart–the Grand Canyon in 1919 and the Grand Tetons in 1929.
In January 1908, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt designated more than 800,000 acres of the Grand Canyon a national monument; it was designated a national park under President Woodrow Wilson on February 26, 1919.
Ten years later to the day, President Calvin Coolidge signed into law a bill passed by both houses of the U.S. Congress establishing the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Before I die I want to go the Grand Teton. Grand Canyon, ehh, maybe. I love the mountains. I go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park quite often. The mountains make me feel better for some reason. Maybe it's the strength of the mountains enduring millions of years. Whatever it is, I love going.
