Ocmulgee Mounds
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park protects one of the largest and most complex archaeological sites in the Southeastern US. There is evidence of human habitation at the site stretching back 12,000 years. Archaeological excavations in the 1940s uncovered artifacts that show a wide trading network across the southeast. The 3,300 acre park includes the Great Temple Mound, built about 1,000 years ago, and six other mounds, as well as a Visitor Center with exhibits and a short film about the park. The mounds were built by different cultures over a period of nearly 4,000 years. The major earthworks are ceremonial mounds, burial mounds, and defensive entrenchments. The Great Temple Mound was the main ceremonial center. The mounds were abandoned about 900 years ago for reasons that are not known.

Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is the site of the last battle of the Creek War on March 27, 1814. General Andrew Jackson's Tennessee militia, aided by the 39th U.S. Infantry Regiment and Cherokee and Lower Creek allies, won a decisive victory against the Upper Creek Red Stick Nation during the Battle of Horseshoe Bend at this site on the Tallapoosa River. Jackson's decisive victory at Horseshoe Bend broke the power of the Upper Creeks and opened up new territory in Alabama and Georgia for white settlement. On August 9, 1814, the Creeks signed the Treaty of Fort Jackson, which ceded 23 million acres of land in Alabama and Georgia to the United States government.

Fishlake National Forest
Fishlake National Forest in south central Utah, encompasses 1.4 million acres of diverse landscapes including stands of aspen and mountain meadows. Named for Fish Lake, the largest freshwater mountain lake in the state, the forest lies across the ancestral home of the Paiute and Ute peoples. The lake is a water source for many of the neighboring communities and agricultural valleys in the region and offers unparalleled opportunities for trophy fishing. The mountains and forest offer a rich tapestry of wildlife, including elk, deer, black bear, cougar, moose, wild turkey, and mountain goats. Pando, a clonal quaking aspen stand in the Fremont River Ranger District, is believed to be the Earth's oldest and largest organism. Spanning 106 acres and weighing 13 million pounds, it is estimated to be 80,000 years old. Governed by the U.S. Forest Service, the area is great for hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback riding.

Cape Krusenstern
North of the Arctic Circle, Cape Krusenstern National Monument forms 70 miles of shoreline on the Chukchi Sea. Inupiat Eskimos have occupied this area for over 5,000 years and continue to do so today. The monument provides a place to hunt, fish and gather food. Vast wetlands extend beyond the shoreline and provide habitat for an abundance of wildlife, including many species of migratory birds. These birds travel here from all over the world, including South America. Hikers and boaters can see carpets of wildflowers among shrubs containing wisps of qiviut from muskoxen. The beauty and richness of this land is indescribable.
