Pipestone NM
Archeologists believe that the quarries at Pipestone National Monument have been in use for over 3000 years. The catlinite, or "pipestone" found at the site is traditionally used to make ceremonial pipes, and the quarries are considered sacred by many tribal nations of North America including the Dakota, Lakota, and other tribes of Native American. In the past, the quarries were considered neutral territory where all Nations could quarry stone for ceremonial pipes. Today, the Monument is open to all visitors, and the quarrying of pipestone still takes place. The stone is hard and difficult to work with, but the results can be beautiful and provocative.

Dayton Aviation Heritage
Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park was created to celebrate one of the world’s most significant human stories: the mastery of controllable flight. Through perseverance and determination the Wright brothers and Paul Laurence Dunbar were able to overcome obstacles in their lives and leave their respective marks on history. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were bicycle shop owners and amateur inventors who became interested in aviation after hearing a lecture by balloonist Samuel Pierpont Langley. They conducted extensive research and experimentation, eventually developing the first successful powered flying machine. Paul Laurence Dunbar was an acclaimed African American poet who overcame poverty and racism to achieve literary success. His work brought him national attention, and he became a role model for future generations of black writers. The park commemorates these three important figures and tells the story of how their accomplishments helped shape the world we live in today.

Hot Springs
A magnet for Native Americans and 20th century gangsters alike, Hot Springs National Park is a great place to visit for its incredible views, its rich history, and its therapeutic hot springs. The Tunica, Quapaw, Choctaw and Caddo tribes long believed that soaking in the springs would restore health and vitality. Today you can visit nine historic bathhouses, easing into the same warm waters that drew Al Capone and Bugs Moran during the Prohibition era. The park is also a favorite for bird watchers, with a variety of song birds and raptors. Don't miss the view from the Mountain Tower, an open-air deck at 1,256 feet above sea level.

Lake Meredith
Situated in the Texas Panhandle, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is a serene oasis for humans and wildlife alike. The centerpiece of the park is 10,000-acre Lake Meredith, a reservoir created by Sanford Dam on the Canadian River. The lake and its surroundings offer a variety of activities for visitors, including boating, fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, and hunting. Unfortunately, due to record-low water levels, many of these activities have been suspended in recent years. However, five boat launch ramps remain open, and park headquarters are still in operation. With its beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is a great place to enjoy the outdoors.

Palms Book State Park
Palms Book State Park is a publicly owned nature preserve encompassing 388 acres in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The state park is noted for Kitch-iti-kipi, the "Big Spring" of the Upper Peninsula. Michigan's largest freshwater spring, spanning 200 feet across and 40 feet deep, can be seen from above as it wells upward through the pond's bottom of bedrock limestone and sand, creating a continual pattern of random eddies and cross-currents in the depths of the pond. To the Anishinaabe people who were the original inhabitants of much of the Upper Peninsula, this site was a place of mystery and wonder. The flow continues throughout the year at a constant 45 degrees Fahrenheit, gushing more than 10,000 gallons of water a minute from fissures in the underlying limestone.
