Holiday Madness: Which is the best national park? Help us decide!

It has been the battle of the national parks all semester long in GEO 200: Geology of the National Parks! After learning about each park, students in the class voted on which park they would prefer to visit, organized in conferences by the primary geologic forces that shape each national park. You can see the journey and more at the MCC Geology Instagram page. 

We are currently down to two parks, Glacier Bay National Park, AK (learn more at Glacier Bay National Park Alaska (Land of glaciers and wildlife) - YouTube)* and Crater Lake National Park, OR (learn more at Crater Lake National Park 360 Video Tour with Dierks Bentley | Parks 101 (youtube.com)).

Which would you rather visit?? Vote for your favorite park! Voting will close on the last day of classes, December 15.
