This extensive 45,000 acres of barren wilderness in New Mexico is just waiting to be explored. There are no trails, or signs, or guides here. The only thing restricting your exploration is a cattle fence and your own ambition.
Being bifurcated by Interstate 40 (and the old Rt. 66) in eastern Arizona, this is one of the most accessible National Parks in the United States. Fossilized trees from the time of dinosaurs and the Painted Desert unite to form one of the most unique parks in the country.
Not many names conjure up such emotion like Death Valley does, although the valley has quite a vibrant history. Only a two hour drive from Las Vegas, this is one of the more accessible National Parks, but is only the 19th most visited. Encompassing more than 5000 square miles, the park is larger than Connecticut and is the largest U.S. National Park outside of Alaska.
South Dakota is often imagined as a droning monotony of flat prairies, but look at a topographic map of the state and you’ll see a slash cutting across the countryside, known as The Wall. The sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles expose the colorful sediments laid down over the course of 47 million years through the Cretaceous Period, during the time of dinosaurs.
