  The Incomparable Grand Canyon National Park

  The Grand Canyon National Park is a must–see stretching along Arizona’s northern border near Utah and Nevada. A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. Leave plenty of time when you visit to see the striking red-rock walls that reveal our planet’s history, then travel to the shores of the turbulent Colorado River below. » Check out The Grand Canyon National Park

  Yellowstone National Park Will Take Your Breath Away

  Yellowstone National Park covers 2,221,766 acres in the northwestern corner of Wyoming, stretching into Montana and Idaho. It is home to bison herds, the grand canyon of the Yellowstone River, and sits atop a “super-volcano” that creates more than 300 geysers, including Old Faithful. It is also the world’s first national park, signed into law in 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant, who declared it be set aside “… for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” » Check out Yellowstone National Park

  Hold Vigil at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

  Deliberately setting aside the controversies of the war, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors the men and women who served when their nation called upon them. The designer, Maya Lin, felt that “the politics had eclipsed the veterans, their service and their lives.” She kept the design elegantly simple to “allow everyone to respond and remember.” » Check out the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
