Mount Rainier National Park protects one of the most iconic mountains in the United States. Dominated by the massive, glacier-covered peak of Mount Rainier, the park features alpine meadows, waterfalls, old-growth forests, and stunning volcanic landscapes. Known as the most glaciated peak in the contiguous United States, Mount Rainier rises dramatically above the surrounding landscape and provides visitors with incredible hiking, climbing, and scenic exploration opportunities.

Mesa Verde National Park protects some of the most remarkable and well-preserved ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites in North America. Located in southwestern Colorado, the park is famous for its spectacular cliff dwellings built into sandstone canyon walls over 700 years ago. Visitors can explore ancient villages, hike scenic canyon trails, and learn about the culture and ingenuity of the Ancestral Pueblo people who once lived in this region.
