Oxon Run Parkway
The Oxon Run Parkway is a corridor of federal park land in the Washington Highlands neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The Parkway once extended across the District's southern corner in a crescent from Hillcrest Heights to Oxon Hill but most of it became Oxon Run Park in 1971, and now only the portion north of 13th Street still uses the Parkway name. It was originally intended to provide recreation space, but was later enlarged to provide flood relief, space for a major piece of sewer infrastructure and the possibility of a clean drinking water source. The Parkway is now 146 acres and sits between Southern Avenue, Mississippi Avenue and 13th Street, SE.

President Clinton Birthplace Home
This National Historic Site commemorates the life and legacy of the 42nd President of the US. When Bill Clinton was born in 1946, his father had already passed away. He was named after his father, William Jefferson Blythe III, and from a young age he was raised in rural Arkansas by his mother and grandparents. These experiences shaped Clinton's views on race relations, social justice, and public service - views that would later define his presidency. He lived in Hope, Arkansas with his mother and grandparents until he was four years old. It was during this time that he developed a deep attachment to the town, and its people have remained an important part of his life ever since. In fact, when asked where he gets his hope from, Clinton famously replied: "Hope is home." Today, Hope is a thriving community that continues to be shaped by Clinton's ideals.

Wright Brothers NM
The Wright Brothers National Memorial, located in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, commemorates the first successful, sustained, powered flights in a heavier-than-air machine. From 1900 to 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright came here from Dayton, Ohio, based on information from the U.S. Weather Bureau about the area's steady winds. They also valued the privacy provided by this location, which in the early 20th century was quite remote. Today, of course, Kitty Hawk is a popular beach destination, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial is one of its most popular attractions. Visitors can see a replica of the Wright brothers' workshop and the launch site of their historic flights. There is also a museum with exhibits on the Wrights' lives and work.

Big Thicket
The Big Thicket is home to nine different ecosystems, from longleaf pine forests to cypress-lined bayous. And it's full of incredible diversity of life. Hiking trails and waterways travel through the thicket, giving visitors a chance to see all the different habitats up close. Native Americans are known to have lived and hunted in the area nomadically, but did not establish permanent settlements there before Europeans arrived in the 1800s. The area was heavily logged in the early 1900s, but thanks to conservation efforts, much of the Big Thicket has been preserved and is now a national park. Today, it's a popular spot for camping, hiking, and canoeing - and a great place to learn about the unique ecosystem of southeast Texas.

Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor
This 165-mile long National Heritage Area in eastern Pennsylvania winds through the Pocono Mountains across five counties and over one hundred municipalities. The corridor offers exquisite sightseeing along historic railroads and scenic rivers from the anthracite coal mines near Wilkes-Barre down to Philadelphia. The spine of the corridor is the Delaware and Lehigh Trail (D&L), a 140-mile biking trail that was once a bustling transportation system for the region, including for Native American tribes such as the Susquehannock, Iroquois, and Leni Lenape. Many of the original Native American villages drew European settlers to the area. Today the Corridor contains more than 100,000 acres of public lands for outdoor recreation, including many state, county, and local parks.

Great Sand Dunes
Great Sand Dunes is an otherworldly landscape. The tallest dunes in North America are the centerpiece in a diverse landscape of grasslands, wetlands, forests, alpine lakes and tundra. The area is the ancestral home of the Southern Ute Tribe and the Apache. If you're lucky enough to have a moonless night, the star-filled sky is unforgettable! The park is known for huge dunes like the towering Star Dune, and for the seasonal Medano Creek and beach created at the base of the dunes. Go sand-boarding and sledding to get the full experience.
