I live on the west coast of Canada so I am spoiled with the mountains and the ocean on a daily basis. On vacation, I love going places that are vastly different from my usual surroundings (like the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley). I am looking for other geographically unique parks to plan vacations to visit. Any recommendations are appreciated.

In the natural world, when plants and animals benefit each other we call it a symbiotic relationship. Here at Grand Canyon National Park, we have lots of examples, including the relationship between yucca moths and yucca plants, between tassel-eared squirrels and ponderosa pines, and between badgers and coyotes. http://www.nps.gov/grca
