One of CA's lesser-known mtns, Castle Crags in the Klamath Mtns. A granite stock that was glaciated during the Ice Ages. A state park and National Forest land.

Not major clouds for sky drama but enough sunset color to cast a glow across Rae Lakes. I'll take it!

Night lights glow off Gateway Arch in St. Louis year-round-- except for during bird migration seasons when they are turned off to allow for safe flight. Should we turn out more lights during migrations to help birds?

Everglades National Park isn’t just a swamp—it’s a slow-moving river! Its water flows about 100ft per day making it one of the world’s most unique ecosystems. It houses over 700 animal species and is the only place on Earth where alligators and crocodiles coexist in the wild! #NationalParks #Florida

I am going to share things like this more often because I think it's really important that we all have a better awareness of what our land management agencies do.

The landscape of Arches National Park (which was almost named Devil's Garden for its rugged beauty) features more than 2,000 natural stone arches, but they don’t last forever. Every year, the forces of erosion reshape the park—some arches have collapsed and new ones are forming #NationalParks #Utah

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to more than 19,000 documented species—but scientists believe up to 100,000 could live there, making it one of the most biodiverse places in the US. Some of the trees are over 500 years old, making them older than Shakespeare! #NationalParks #Tennessee

"Where's the park?" You're looking at it. Biscayne National Park is 95% water, so to get the full experience, you have to head below. There, you'll see a paradise of coral reefs, shipwrecks, and marine life. For land lovers, the park also boasts islands you can access by boat #NationalParks #Florida

Most people know that Redwoods National Park is home to the tallest trees on Earth. But did you know their roots only go 6 to 12 feet deep? Instead of going down, they spread wide—up to 100 feet—and intertwine with other trees, creating a natural support network. #NationalParks #California #Redwoods

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In addition to being able to walk across a once-molten lake of lava in the Kïlauea Iki Crater, you can also hike through Nāhuku, a 500-year old lava tube that was formed when a 2,000 degree river of lava cut its way through a rainforest mountain #NationalParks #Hawaii

Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and the 7th deepest in the world. The lake maintains its average depth of 1,943 feet by having the rate of water loss through evaporation and seepage matched by the rate of water gain by rain and snowfall. #NationalParks #CraterLake #Oregon
