Belmont–Paul Women's Equality NM
Built in 1800 on Capitol Hill, the brick Federal-period house, now known as Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument, stands as one of Washington, D.C.'s oldest residential properties. From this historic location near the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court, Alice Paul and the National Women's Party (NWP) pioneered innovative strategies to champion the Equal Rights Amendment and women's equality. For over 90 years, it served as the NWP's headquarters, playing a pivotal role in advancing women's rights. Although the ERA was not ultimately ratified, the NWPA's efforts helped to raise awareness of the need for equal rights for women. This house symbolizes the unwavering strength of the women's rights movement and remains a testament to the power of grassroots activism.

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.

Sitka
Sitka National Historical Park in Sitka, Alaska, consists of 53 acres of forest and wetland habitats.

The park also contains the Fortress of the Bear, a reconstruction of the original Russian fort that was destroyed in the battle. In addition to its historical significance, Sitka National Historical Park is an important wildlife habitat. The park's forests and wetlands are home to a variety of animals, including Sitka black-tailed deer, bald eagles, brown bears, and Steller's sea lions. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, bird watching, and fishing in the park.

Pacific Crest Trail
Designated as a National Scenic Trail in 1968, the Pacific Crest Trail spans 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington. The trail closely follows the Pacific Coast Range and Cascade Range, which lie 100 to 150 miles east of the US Pacific coast. With an average elevation of over 8,000 feet, the PCT is one of the higher trails in the United States. The trail passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks, including North Cascades National Park, Wenatchee National Forest, and Glacier Peak Wilderness. Because of its length and remote location, the PCT is one of the most challenging trails in the US. Hikers need to be prepared for extreme weather conditions, including snow and ice at high elevations, and carry enough food and water for long stretches between resupply points. Despite these challenges, the PCT is a popular trail for thru-hikers, who attempt to hike the entire trail in one season. Around 300 hikers successfully complete the trail each year.
