Boston NHP
The Boston National Historical Park is an association of sites that showcase Boston's role in the American Revolution and other parts of history. Seven of the eight sites are connected by the Freedom Trail, a walking tour of downtown Boston. All eight properties are National Historic Landmarks, some are only accessible by guided tour. Although many of the sites that make up the park date back to the colonial era, the park also includes later landmarks that commemorate more recent events such as the abolition of slavery and the desegregation of public schools. In addition to its historical significance, the Boston National Historical Park is a beautiful place to visit, with well-manicured gardens, stately buildings, and stunning views of the cityscape. Whether you're interested in learning about American history or simply want to enjoy a leisurely walk through one of Boston's most scenic neighborhoods, the Boston National Historical Park is a great way to experience the past and the present.

Big Hole
Big Hole National Battlefield preserves a battlefield that was the site of a fierce clash between the Nez Perce and the U.S. Army in 1877. The Nez Perce were a tribe of Native Americans trying to escape to Canada to avoid being forced onto a reservation. However, they were pursued by the U.S. Army's 7th Infantry Regiment. The two sides fought a brutal battle here on August 9 and 10, with heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, the Nez Perce were forced to retreat, and their dream of freedom was dashed. Today, visitors to Big Hole National Battlefield can see remnants of the battle, as well as the beautiful scenery of the surrounding wilderness. It is a place where history comes alive, and where the spirit of those who fought here long ago still lingers.

Gates of the Arctic
Gates of the Arctic National Park is one of the most remote and pristine national parks in the United States. It is also one of the least visited, due to its remote location. The park is only accessible by plane or by foot, and there are no roads or trails within its boundaries. However, those who make the effort to visit Gates of the Arctic are rewarded with breathtaking views of some of the most untouched natural beauty in the world. Glaciers have carved deep valleys into the landscape, and wild rivers flow through them. The endless summer light fades into aurora-lit night skies in winter. Gates of the Arctic remains virtually unchanged except by the forces of nature.

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.

Squak Mountain

And one trail boasts an unusual landmark: the remains of a stone fireplace, all that's left of Bullitt House.
