Kings Mountain
In the summer of 1780, after a string of defeats, the American Revolution was not going well. Then, in October, came the Battle of Kings Mountain. Fought on October 7th, 1780, it was an important victory for the patriot cause. The Battle of Kings Mountain was the first major patriot victory to occur after the British invasion of Charleston, SC in May 1780. The park preserves the site of this important battle. Thomas Jefferson called it "The turn of the tide of success." The battle was a turning point in the war, and its significance is still commemorated at Kings Mountain National Military Park.

Grant-Kohrs Ranch NHS
The Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site was established in 1972 to commemorate the Western cattle industry from its 1850s inception through recent times. The original ranch was established in 1862 by a Canadian fur trader, Johnny Grant, at Cottonwood Creek, Montana (future site of Deer Lodge, Montana), along the banks of the Clark Fork river. The ranch was later expanded by a cattle baron, Conrad Kohrs, who acquired the property in 1866. Kohrs built a large mansion on the property and laid out extensive gardens and grounds. By the early 1900s, the Grant-Kohrs ranch had become one of the largest cattle operations in the West, spanning some three million acres. Today, the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site preserves over 1,000 acres of the original ranch property, including the mansion and grounds. It is a working ranch where visitors to the site can learn about the history of the cattle industry and see firsthand how it shaped the development of the American West.

John D. Rockefeller Parkway
The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway is one of America’s most scenic highways connecting two of its most visited national parks, Grand Teton and Yellowstone. The parkway is named for the late industrialist, conservationist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who made significant contributions to several national parks, including Grand Teton, Acadia, Great Smoky Mountains, and Virgin Islands. The parkway provides a natural link between the two national parks and contains features characteristic of both areas. The parkway consists of 24,000 acres and is an integral part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It is bordered by Caribou-Targhee National Forest on the west and Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Teton Wilderness on the east. The parkway road extends from the northern end of Grand Teton National Park to West Thumb Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, a distance of 27 miles.

Canyon de Chelly
Tsegi Canyon is a place like no other. For nearly 5,000 years, people have lived in these canyons - longer than anyone has lived uninterrupted anywhere on the Colorado Plateau. In the place called Tsegi, their homes and images tell us their stories. Today, Navajo families make their homes, raise livestock and farm the lands in the canyons. The park and Navajo Nation work together to manage the land's resources. The result is a place where visitors can explore the history and culture of the Navajo people while enjoying the beauty of the canyon landscape. Whether you are hiking through the redrock cliffs or spending a night under the stars, Tsegi Canyon is an unforgettable destination.
