Biden travels out West

Vice President Joe Biden speaks at Yellowstone National Park in Grand Junction, Wyo. on Monday, July 26, 2010. Hundreds of stimulus-funded projects under way in national parks across the U.S. are long-overdue upgrades to the country's neglected "national jewels," Biden said Monday. Biden began a two-day tour highlighting Recovery Act projects in Yellowstone and Grand Canyon national parks by speaking to about 100 park workers, contractors and their families in the scenic Madison Valley, where the famous Madison River is formed in the shadow of 7,500-foot National Park Mountain.
