Fort Davis
Fort Davis is a national historic site located in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. The fort was established in 1854 to protect the settlers from hostile Indians. The fort was named after Jefferson Davis, who later became President of the Confederate States of America. The fort served as an important outpost for the U.S. Army during the Indian Wars. The 24th and 25th U.S. Infantry regiments and the 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry regiments, all-black regiments (known as the buffalo soldiers), were established after the Civil War and stationed at the post. Lt. Col. Wesley Merritt led Troops C, F, H, and I of the 9th Cavalry in their first battle against the Comanche at Buffalo Wallow in 1867. The fort was finally abandoned in 1891.

Kings Mountain
In the summer of 1780, after a string of defeats, the American Revolution was not going well. Then, in October, came the Battle of Kings Mountain. Fought on October 7th, 1780, it was an important victory for the patriot cause. The Battle of Kings Mountain was the first major patriot victory to occur after the British invasion of Charleston, SC in May 1780. The park preserves the site of this important battle. Thomas Jefferson called it "The turn of the tide of success." The battle was a turning point in the war, and its significance is still commemorated at Kings Mountain National Military Park.

Pecos NHP
Pecos is a cultural crossroads through which hunters and gatherers, traders, conquerors and explorers, immigrants, soldiers, ranchers and tourists passed. The park encompasses thousands of acres of landscape infused with historical elements from prehistoric archaeological ruins to 19th-century ranches, to a battlefield of the American Civil War. Its largest single feature is Pecos Pueblo also known as Cicuye Pueblo, a Native American community abandoned in historic times. First a state monument in 1935, it was made Pecos National Monument in 1965, and greatly enlarged and renamed in 1990. Two sites within the park, the pueblo and the Glorieta Pass Battlefield, are National Historic Landmarks.

Wind River Range
The Wind River Range is a breathtaking mountain range surrounded by national forests in western Wyoming. Known for its stunning alpine scenery, high peaks, and pristine lakes, it's a popular destination for hiking, climbing, and backpacking. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples of the Great Basin, such as the Shoshones and Absarokas (Crow) lived in and around the range, with villages as high as 10,000 ft. The Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho people still maintain a presence in the region and are federally recognized as the Arapahoe Tribe of the Wind River Reservation. One of the most iconic features of the Wind River Range is the Cirque of the Towers, a cluster of towering granite spires and jagged peaks that rise dramatically from the valley floor. The Cirque is a favorite spot for climbers and photographers, and its sheer walls and stunning vistas make it a must-see destination.
