Option 1

 * Yosemite National Park
 * The site mostly refers to the Hetch Hetchy in regards to the physical features of Yosemite with that name, rather than the prominent debate about the reservoir and its supplying water to San Francisco post earthquake in 1906. This would be a good place to also discuss the disconnect between preservation and conservation (a subject not really touched on within many of the National Parks WIKI pages). Seeing as Hetch Hetchy is a valuable feature of Yosemite, it might be good to touch on such subjects within the article.

Option 2

 * Yellowstone National Park
 * Looking at visitor diversity within the park is what allows for larger education on the disproportionate numbers of white visitors vs other populations. This could be applied more generally to other parks as well, but the information received in class emphasizes Yellowstone in particular. Here it might be helpful to talk about the factors we discussed that lead to non-visitation: limited socioeconomic resources, cultural factors and boundary maintenance and discrimination and what racial frames. It would be good to include statistics about the workforce itself within the park and the potentially limited diversity there as well. Analyzing visitation from a cultural mindset would help give a better picture of what the park is like today, and how it could move in the direction towards inclusivity.
