The brilliant white gypsum sands at White Sands National Park make a surreal and breathtaking setting in the Tularosa Basin in southern New Mexico.

The 1st Grand Canyon bridge (1921) was 420 ft long & suspended 60 ft above river. At the time, it was the only bridge crossing the Colorado above Needles, CA, (360 miles by river to the south)

The bridge would swing in the wind, and only 1 mule could cross it at a time.

“My face when they call me a cub, but I’m actually a yearling!”

Did you know American black bears stay with their mothers for about 18 months?

Cubs in the spring only weigh about 5 pounds when they emerge from their dens, while most yearlings weigh about 30–50 pounds!

Earth Day 2024.
Nearing sunset with the almost full moon rising.

Interested in helping to protect water, air, and wildlife? Plant native flowers, use dark-sky friendly lighting fixtures, limit or avoid fertilizer, and reduce water waste > go.nps.gov/gc-cc

The moon rises above the famous 'Z' tree at @evergladesnps.

The park's sawgrass prairies, pine rocklands, mangrove forests and marine waters provide habitat for a wildlife spectacle like no other — crocodiles, alligators, manatees and more!

April showers and sunny days have brought 1,000 shades of green to the park. In sun or shade, under bright blue skies or puffy white clouds, the green hues are gorgeous. Take a stroll on the National Mall and find your favorite.

As America’s national mammal and a majestic symbol of strength and resilience, American bison are inextricably intertwined with Indigenous communities and cultures, the health of the Great Plains and our nation’s history.

It's spring in Yellowstone, you know what that means... BABY ANIMALS!
As cute and fuzzy as they are, be sure to give wildlife room, use a zoom. Always maintain a distance of at least 100 yards (91m) away from bears/wolves, and at least 25 yards (23m) away from all other animals.

4 hours later and last night's snow is mostly gone!

April weather at Grand Canyon can be full of unpredictable surprises. (Saturday 4/6/2024)

We're expecting it to be clear and mostly sunny this afternoon and Sunday, with dry and slightly warmer temperatures. Spotty showers

The Buffalo River at @buffalonps in northern Arkansas is one of the nation’s last major rivers that is still free flowing. Its ancient current gives life to well over 300 species of fish, insects, freshwater mussels and aquatic plants.

At Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge, you can immerse yourself in the valleys of Northwestern Montana, shaped by glacial forces and steeped in rich cultural history. Visitors can experience incredible habitats and the natural beauty of these lands.
