A Cliff Dwelling Seen Along The Island Trail, Walnut Canyon National Monument

"It has been more than 700 years since Walnut Canyon echoed with the voices and sounds of a robust pueblo community. Today, the Island Trail leads you back in time, and welcomes you into the world of the Native people archeologists call Sinagua. You'll experience 25 cliff dwelling rooms along the trail; and gaze at others visible across the canyon."

The View From Johnny Horn Trail, Virgin Islands National Park

Who doesn't dream, from time to time, of warm, brilliant turquoise-blue waters rimmed by sandy beaches and tropical vegetation beneath a sunny sky? Perhaps your vision looks much like the view you'll see from Johnny Horn Trail on St. John Island at Virgin Islands National Park. A little under 2 miles, this is a strenuous hike that's steep and rocky in places, but the view at the top is amazing.

Emerald Spring In Norris Basin, Yellowstone National Park

Microorganisms play a large part in coloring hot springs at Yellowstone National Park. According to the National Park Service, "The color of Emerald Spring comes from the inherent blue of the water combined with the yellow of the sulfur-coated pool. The water in this 27-foot deep pool is so hot (close to boiling) that only the most heat-tolerant thermophiles can survive. In sulfur-rich hot springs, such as Emerald Spring, some microorganisms use sulfur as their energy source. Byproducts from these reactions can be used by other microbes.

El Capitan at Sunset, Guadalupe Mountains National Park

According to the National Park Service, "Capitan Reef is now recognized as one of the most well-preserved fossil reefs in the world ... Movement of faults over the last 20 million years caused a long-buried portion of the Capitan Reef to rise several thousand feet above its original position. This uplifted block was then exposed to wind and rain causing the softer overlying sediments to erode, uncovering the more resistant fossil reef and forming the modern Guadalupe Mountains.
