Klondike Gold Rush (Seattle)
A companion to the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway, Alaska, this park reveals a fascinating chapter in the history of Seattle, when it became the "Gateway to the Gold Fields." In July 1897, a ship carrying "a ton of gold" arrived in Seattle, sparking a rush of prospectors to the Yukon Territory of Canada. Over the next year, 70,000 prospectors flooded into Seattle en route to the Yukon. The park's Kerr gallery, named for a beloved Klondike ranger named Ruth Kerr, offers rotating exhibits throughout the year.

Tuzigoot
The Tuzigoot National Monument is a 2- to 3-story pueblo ruin on the summit of a limestone and sandstone ridge just east of Clarkdale, Arizona. The Tuzigoot Site is an elongated complex of stone masonry rooms that were built along the spine of a natural outcrop in the Verde Valley. The central rooms stand higher than the others and they appear to have been used for public or ceremonial purposes. The Tuzigoot people were a small group of agriculturalists who settled in the Verde Valley around A.D. 1000. Visitors can take self-guided tours of the ruins, hike trails through the surrounding terrain, and picnic in the shade of the ancient pueblo walls.
