foxnews.com - National parks were not exempt from the government shutdown but that does not mean you can't 'visit' the nation's greatest treasures while politicians continue to work things out.The Grand Canyon, Ellis Island and Yosemite may be inaccessible by foot, but with a little help from NASA, you can still view our national landmarks from space.Congress missed its deadline to keep the government running and the National Park Services' contingency plan states in the event of a shutdown all activities at the parks, except for necessary emergency services, would be immediately suspended and the parks would be closed indefinitely.
