Camp Hale
The first national monument designated by President Joe Biden in October 2022, Camp Hale was the World War II training ground of the US Army's 10th Mountain Division. A large, open valley with easy access to features for rock climbing, skiing and other winter warfare training, Camp Hale once held more than 1,000 buildings and hosted around 15,000 troops. The monument encompasses more than 53,800 acres and includes the Tenmile Range, a popular area for hikers and rock climbers. Visitors beware - there is still some live ordinance lurking in the area.

Built in the late 18th century, the Federal-style house was successfully relocated in 2008 from its former location on Convent Avenue to its current location on West 141st Street in St. Nicholas Park. The interior rooms have been restored and the ground floor features an interactive exhibit for visitors.

Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home
This relatively new National Monument honors the memory of the late Medgar and Myrlie Evers, a civil rights power couple if there ever was one. As the first state field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi, Medgar helped to launch some of the first grassroots campaigns for change in the state. He also worked closely with national organizations like the NAACP to push for changes to laws and policies related to voting rights, public education, and public accommodations. His wife Myrlie continued his work after his assassination, becoming the first woman to chair the NAACP. Together, they helped to change the landscape of civil rights organizing, demonstrating that a combination of grassroots efforts and work with national organizations can be a powerful force for change.

Boulder Park
Boulder Park is an unincorporated community in Imperial County, California, with a roadside attraction called Desert View Tower. The stone lookout, built in the 1920s, is 70’ high and offers views of miles of moon-like desert terrain. Boulder Park is fun for kids and adults alike, where found object art sculptures and rocks painted like animals and mythical creatures await as you walk through cave-like corridors. This folk art site is well worth the visit and is registered on the National Register of Historic Places.
