For those of you who had your hearts set on visiting a National Park this week, and can't now that the USG has shut down; the FR Canteen proudly provides you this public service free of charge. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is America's premiere park, Arizona's Grand Canyon. Please, enjoy!

We will now return you to your regularly scheduled Canteen activities. Thanks for dropping in!

And thanks to all of our guys and gals in the U.S. Armed Forces who carry on in spite of the shenanigans in D.C.

Thanks Hi Jinx..The Grand Canyon was my first out of state visit when I was a teen ager..I stood in awe...after whining about “When do we get there” off and on.

I’ve been to that big hole in the ground. That was back in the early 80s, and I bet not much has changed.

Thanks for the tour! It’s still gorgeous!

Denali National Park is also shutting down today.

The park is serviced by a 91-mile (146 km) road from the George Parks Highway to the mining camp of Kantishna. It runs east to west, north of and roughly parallel to the imposing Alaska Range. Only a small fraction of the road is paved because permafrost and the freeze-thaw cycle would create a high cost for maintaining a paved road. The first 15 miles (24 km) of the road are available to private vehicles. Beyond this point, visitors must access the interior of the park through concessionary buses. Wonder Lake can be reached by a six-hour bus ride from the Wilderness Access Center. Eielson Visitor Center is located four hours into the park on the road.
