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.
The ruins of a nineteenth century U.S. army fort. A harbinger of change in the region, the fort was a distribution hub for many of the smaller forts throughout the southwest, supplying the American military while it enforced its will on Native Americans. Later, a earthworks star fort was constructed on site to defend against confederate soldiers during the civil war. A one mile long trail winds through the remaining adobe-style walls of the old fort.
An enormous 78ft long, 65ft. tall, rock arch hidden in forest in North-East Kentucky. Natural rock arches are usually associated with the Southwest, but there are over 150 arches within a five mile radius of the park. This area was heavily logged in the late nineteenth century but the lush forest here today shows how resilient nature can be. The park was originally a private tourist attraction owned by L&N Railroad but was donated to the state in 1926 and became one of Kentucky’s four original state parks later that year.
The world famous Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall in the world, in volume of water. The mighty Niagara River plunges 160 feet over the Niagara Escarpment in spectacular fashion and must be seen to be appreciated.
A natural leak of methane seeping from rock behind a waterfall keeps a flame lit continuously. Located in western New York, within Chestnut Ridge Park, in the town of Orchard Park.
