Mills, National Park Service. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 12/2/16.

Alaska has been called “The Last Frontier,” and at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve that holds true. This backcountry park – accessible by boat or aircraft – has no roads or campgrounds and only one hiking trail. For the intrepid few who reach this remote gem, solitude reigns in a land of immense glaciers, active volcanoes and boreal forests.

Mink in Alaska are larger and darker than most weasels. They can hunt on land and water, preying on fish, rodents, birds and insects. Mostly solitary, they only gather during breeding season in the spring. However, this mink at Lake Clark National Park & Preserve doesn’t seem to be thinking about romance. Photo by J. Mills, National Park Service. Tweeted by the US Department of the Interior, 4/18/16.

Just before it flows past Washington, DC, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and rushes through a narrow gorge. Great Falls Park offers tremendous views of this powerful, natural spectacle. Hikers enjoy several trails along the river and sometimes gasp at expert kayakers who brave the falls. This sunrise picture was taken on the Virginia side of the river. Photo by Yin Lau. Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 9/14/15.

Witnessing sunrise from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is truly breathtaking. Kathleen Buenviaje took this photo of Reflection Canyon on the Utah side of the park just as the sun was breaking through the horizon, turning the sky into a kaleidoscope of colors. Kathleen captured the photo after a 10-mile backpacking trip through the Utah backcountry in thunderstorms and 30 degree weather. Of the experience, she says, “The hike was grueling with no trail to follow and the terrain shifting every hundred feet, but it was also one of the most unique and beautiful hikes because of those challenges. Not a hike for the faint of heart, but a worthy one for anyone who makes it.” Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 9/10/15.
