1·1 year agoVery cool pictures. I love the drapery formation.
Probably an unpopular opinion but Marengo Cave looks more interesting than Mammoth Cave. Mammoth is cool and worth visiting but a lot of it is dry so not a lot of formations.
My favorite cave/cavern in the park system that I have visited is Carlsbad Cavern. Absolutely spectacular.
This is where I learned that elk live all over the United States
So many pots!
Great pictures! Ancestral Puebloans did amazing stuff. Items(parrots, cacao) from the Yucatan Peninsula have been found around Mesa Verde. Blows me away that a trade network was that large.
Check this 800+ year old mug out!
I haven’t visited these particular mounds but I have visited others. Here are a couple of pictures from Poverty Point National Monument and World Heritage Site.
The morning commute in Yellowstone was bumper to bumper bison that day

Oh yeah, I also stop and take a picture at the entrance sign
Yosemite stays with me. It’s a top 5 park for me and I imagine for many. Your picture is making me want to pack up the car and head there.
I tend not to be a planner. I love to show up at park not knowing much about it. It has it’s downsides when a park has a reservation system. At the gate, I always make sure to get a park pamphlet to go into my collection. I’ll also ask for a hiking map/sheet. The next stop tends to be the visitor center. I make it a point to watch the movie if there is one in the visitor center. I normally will check my water bottle situation and fill up at the visitor center if I’m low. I love seeing animals so I’ll talk to a ranger and ask about wildlife sightings and any sights that I should see.
Unfortunately, the glaciers are melting away from Glacier NP. Over the last 150 years, the number of large glaciers has declined from 80 to 32. The number of smaller glaciers went from 144 to 49.
