These parks have a varied terrain from tropical beaches, prairie flatlands, misty rain forests, eroded badlands and alpine tundra.
See where rain erodes the rock and carries sediment down washes and canyons. Small recesses develop and grow bigger with each storm. Little by little, this process turns fractured rock layers into fins, and fins into arches.
Follow the rim of a plateau for 18 miles and see stunning geological panoramas with colorful canyons, fins, hoodoos and a natural bridge.
Great temperature and elevation extremes haunt this hottest, driest, lowest national park. They created colorful and rugged terrain containing plants and aquatic animals found nowhere else.
Alaskan parks, Denali and Glacier Bay, can be seen in our Stateside video “Alaska”.
This is a meeting place of old-growth forests, wind-swept prairies, ancient glaciers and deep lakes shared with Canada. Travel the spectacular Going-to-the-Sun Road that bisects the glacier traversing Logan Pass.
With no foothills to obstruct your view, the jagged peaks and deep canyons of the Teton Range rise abruptly from the Jackson Hole Valley. See magnificent and unusual views that provoke wonder.
Named this way because the park's sagebrush-covered valleys and narrow mountain ranges lack drainage. Water collects in shallow salt lakes, marches and mud flats to evaporate in dry desert air.
Hawaiian parks, Haleakala and Hawai’i Volcanoes, can be seen in our Stateside video “Hawaii - Part I”.
See how plants and animals adapt to the Colorado and Mojave Desert's relentless sun, little water and summers over 100ºF.
Rock spires, ramparts and crags along with caves dominate this park. In addition, see Trona Pinnacles, a national natural landmark also in southern California.
