ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST UNUSUAL and remote national parks, Dry Tortugas National Park is located 68 miles west of Key West, Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico. Though it encompasses 101 square miles, more than 99 percent of the park surface area is actually the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Seven tiny islands (or six or five, depending on wave action, tides, and hurricane activity) make up the park’s land area. Just getting to the park provides visitors with a feeling of accomplishment: The only way to reach it is by boat or seaplane.

THE WORLD’S FIRST NATIONAL PARK, Yellowstone was established before the states that now surround it became part of the Union.

Snowcapped mountains water a landscape of lakes, rivers, canyons, and forest, teeming with the full complement of northern Rockies wildlife.

WHEN RANGERS AT WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK describe it as the “best of both worlds,” they are referring to the realms below and above the Earth’s surface. Underground lies one of the world’s most complex and unusual caves; above is a globally significant expanse of mixed-grass prairie, home to wildlife—from massive bison to playful prairie dogs to sky blue mountain bluebirds.

National Parks of the United States (9th Edition).

THERE COMES A MOMENT when vast rolling grassland drops away to a fantastic landscape of pyramids, pillars, bluffs, knife-edge ridges, and narrow canyons. The star in these formations: water. It’s been carving away at the cliffs for the past half million years or so. Badlands National Park is a place of great theatricality, an enormous stage set—colorful, dramatic, and not quite real. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright referred to it as “an endless supernatural world.”

Indeed, the canyon is considered one of the seven wonders of the natural world.
