Little Bighorn Battlefield
The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is located in southeastern Montana, near the town of Hardin. The monument memorializes the Battle of the Little Bighorn, which was fought between a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho force and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The Indian victory in this battle was one of the Indians' last armed efforts to preserve their way of life. The monument consists of several different areas, including the actual battlefield, visitor center, and museum. The battlefield itself is quite extensive, and visitors can take a self-guided tour or join a ranger-led tour. There are also several hiking trails that wind through the area. The visitor center contains a number of exhibits on the battle and the history of the area. The museum is home to a collection of artifacts from the battle, as well as a number of other historical items.

Paterson Great Falls NHP
The Great Falls of the Passaic River is a prominent waterfall, 77 feet high, on the Passaic River in the city of Paterson, NJ. One of the US' largest waterfalls, it played a significant role in the early industrial development of New Jersey and one of the earliest manufacturing centers in America. In 1778, Alexander Hamilton visited the falls and was impressed by its potential for industry. Later, when Hamilton was the nation's Secretary of Treasury, he selected the site of the nation's first planned industrial city, which he called a "national manufactory." In 1791, Hamilton helped found the Society for the Establishment of Useful Manufactures (S.U.M.), a state-chartered private corporation. The company built a dam and diverted part of the river to create a millpond that supplied water power for factories. The success of Hamilton's vision helped establish Newark as a major center of industry and commerce. Today, the remains of the S.U.M. factory are part of the Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park.

Lake Clark NP
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a land of stunning beauty. The park is situated about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, and is home to many streams and lakes vital to the Bristol Bay salmon fishery, including its namesake Lake Clark. The park protects rainforests along the coastline of Cook Inlet, alpine tundra, glaciers, glacial lakes, major salmon-bearing rivers, and two volcanoes, Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna. Mount Redoubt is active, erupting in 1989 and 2009. Access to the park is only possible via boat or plane, as there is no road access. The wide variety of ecosystems in the park mean that virtually all major Alaskan animals, terrestrial and marine, may be seen in and around the park. Salmon, particularly sockeye salmon, play a major role in the ecosystem and the local economy. Visitors to the park can enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, birdwatching, and much more. Lake Clark National Park is one of the most remote and most rewarding of America's treasured places.
