Which National Park is older, Sierra Nevada National Park or Doñana National Park?
Doñana National Park Doñana National Park is a natural reserve in Andalusia, southern Spain, in the provinces of Huelva (most of its territory) and Seville. It covers 543 km² , of which 135 km² are a protected area. The park is an area of marshes, shallow streams, and sand dunes in Las Marismas, the delta where the Guadalquivir River flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It was established as a nature reserve in 1969 when the World Wildlife Fund joined with the Spanish government and purchased a section of marshes to protect it. The eco-system has been under constant threat by the draining of the marshes, the use of river water to boost agricultural production by irrigating land along the coast, water pollution by upriver mining, and the expansion of tourist facilities. It is named after wife of the seventh Duke of Medina-Sidonia.
Mount Shasta Wilderness The Mount Shasta Wilderness is a 38200 acre federally designated wilderness area located 5 mi east of Mount Shasta City in northern California. The US Congress passed the 1984 California Wilderness Act that set aside the Mount Shasta Wilderness. The US Forest Service is the managing agency as the wilderness is within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The area is named for and is dominated by the Mount Shasta volcano which reaches a traditionally quoted height of 14162 ft above sea level, but official sources give values ranging from 14104 ft from one USGS project, to 14179 ft via the NOAA. Mount Shasta is one of only two peaks in the state over 14000 ft outside the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The other summit is White Mountain Peak in the Great Basin of east-central California.
