Nearly two dozen World Heritage Sites, which have been found by the United Nations Eduational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization to offer outstanding global value for their cultural and natural resources, can be found in the United States. And the National Park Service has just made it easier to locate them.
The Park Service's newest online travel itinerary page touches on the 22 World Heritage Sites located in the United States. On this site you can discover fun facts and interesting background information about sites across the country, from the Statue of Liberty National Monument to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, which have universal significance.
Most of the World Heritage Sites in the United States are administered by the National Park Service. They also are listed entirely or contain listings in the National Register of Historic Places, which is expanded and maintained by the National Park Service.
The World Heritage Sites in the United States itinerary is the 60th in the online Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary Series. The series supports historic preservation, promotes public awareness of history, and encourages people to visit historic places throughout the country. The National Park Service’s Heritage Education Services and its Office of International Affairs produced this itinerary in partnership with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers.

IGNORE works. Really. It does.
I don't even have to read all the comments and bet I could come awfully close to spouting nearly word for word what the troll posts.
Why waste all the time and energy of this fine website going on mindless tangents trying to get a slippery troll nailed down? It's impossible.
He is truly not worth the time. You can state it over and over, and he doesn't listen. Anyway, whatever.... there is no point in going further with him. I've blocked him a long time ago, but sometimes curiosity does kill the cat. But the more I read this site, the more I see him as like a flea on a dog. Not anything more than that. A minor irritant, that can easily inflame any thread into pointless chatter. I appologize for bagging on teabaggers as anti-science drones that hate anything related to scientific discoveries, inquiries, or expoloration, which of course does go on in our National Parks at a pretty unique and interesting high level. Ohh wait....nevermind. Regardless, I approve of world heritage sites in the USA.
Did anyone see the pics from a recent snowstorm at the Grand Canyon World Heritage Site today? WOW!
So, Gary, we will take that as a "I don't have an explanation".
Ohh I have explanations. MANY of them. You're just not worth the hours i'd have to spend drilling into that thick unpenetratable concrete that exits between your scalp and that walnut that sits in there. And when you start talking in "we's".... that's a sign of naracisstic delusions. It seems no one really is on your side here, except for you and the 50 little cheerleaders coming from that walnut.

The new site looks ok. I was confused when I saw yellowstone listed twice. Had to look it up, learned yellowstone is on the border :)
