Athens National Park

Athens National Park is Nareemia’s oldest national park which was established around 1865. Located in Athen’s Mammoth Peaks, 110-160 km out of the capital, Athens National Park includes many icy glaciers, dense coniferous forests, and prominent alpine topography. What brings about Athens National Park so special is its easy access and close locality to the considerable unspoiled wilderness of the Mammoth Peaks.

=== Ecoregions ===
Athens National Park spans three ecoregions, including montane, subalpine, and alpine. The subalpine ecoregion, which consists mainly of dense forest, comprises 53 percent of Athen’s National Park’s area. 27 percent of the park is located above the tree line, in the alpine ecoregion. The tree line in Athens National Park lies approximately at 2,300 m (7,500 ft), with open meadows at alpine regions and some areas covered by glaciers. A small portion (3 percent) of the park, located at lower elevations, is in the montane ecoregion. Lodgepole pine forests dominate the montane region of Athens National Park, with Engelmann spruce, willow, aspen, occasional Douglas-fir and a few Douglas maple interspersed. Engelmann spruce are more prevalent in the subalpine regions of Athens National Park, with some areas of lodgepole pine, and subalpine fir. The montane areas in Athens National Park, which tends to be the select habitat for wildlife, have been subjected to crucial human consequence over the years.
=== Wildlife ===
Athens National Park has over 45 recorded native species living in their Mammoth Peaks. Grizzlies, as well as black bears, dwell amongst the forested areas, while cougars and black pumas inhabit the upright foothills. White-tailed deer, northeastern moose, prairie dogs, and solenodons preferably live in the mixed-boreal woodlands. Rarer occurrences of animals are the ingenious whistler moose, red-tailed hawk and the wood muskox. 
In the alpine zone, bighorn sheep, tahrs, marmots and pikas are typically seen. Due to the harsh winters, zero reptiles are seen.
