During these years of hunting and gathering, the region was cooler with a grassland environment, and people gathered wild plants for food and hunted bison and other large herd of animals. The types of bison these people hunted are now extinct. Nomads used a device called an atlatl to throw their weapons, such as spears and darts, to hunt. By 4000 B.C., during the archaic culture, the climate had changed and became similar to the one of the present. This period of hunting, gathering, and farming had lasted from 8000 to 500 B.C.

Due to the extinction of animals of the past, people had to expand their source of food, and they had to include many different species of plants and animals into their meals.

Stone arches are among the most diverse of rock formations, not only because of the large area where they are known to be found, but also their complex ways of forming.

In the 1850’s Americans were starting to realize that the wilderness was something that needed to be explored and protected. There was a newfound understanding of preservation of lands and all that inhabited them. Through the years that followed there would be the development of national and state parks. Some of these areas have protected monuments and structures that were significant in our history while others have been preserved in order for us to enjoy the beauty and esthetics of a specific area. However this is not the only use of these current sites. With new research being developed by the education foundation we see more and more interest in parks regarding ranger-led programs. The idea of outdoor leaning has allowed for parks to not only teach their history but also allowed to target age groups and make learning about our environment fun. By examining the history of our national parks and the theory of learning outside of the classroom we can see the importance that state and national park programs play.
