Bryce Canyon is a national park in southern Utah. Small by National Park standards, its 56.2 square mile occupy the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The park is not a canyon, but a spectacular series of amphitheatres, each of which is carved at least 1,000 feet into the chromatic limestone of the Plateau.The geology, unique in the world, has been caused by erosion. The colourful limestone rock has been shaped into bizarre slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called "hoodoos." Tinted with colours too numerous and subtle to name, the whimsically arranged rocks create a wondrous landscape. Ponderosa pines, high elevation meadows, and fir-spruce forests border the rim of the plateau and abound with wildlife. This area boasts some of the world's best air quality, offering panoramic views of three states and approaching 200 miles of visibility.

Schwabacher’s Landing is a boat landing on the east shore of the Snake River. The vista of the Teton Range from Schwabacher’s Landing is one of the great mountain views of the United States. Grand Teton National Park is in northwestern Wyoming. The park adjoins Yellowstone National Park and, in conjunction with surrounding national forests, constitutes one of the largest parks in the world (7,300,000 ha). The park is an almost pristine ecosystem. Flora and fauna from prehistoric times are still found here. Moose, pronghorn, mule deer and bald eagles are commonly seen. The park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the range. The name is attributed to early 19th-century French speaking trappers -"les trois tetons" (the three teats) was later anglicized to Tetons. At 4,199 m Grand Teton is higher than Mt Cook in New Zealand. Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 2,100 m above Jackson Hole. A dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations.

Monument Valley on the Utah-Arizona border provides the most enduring and definitive image of the American West. The isolated red mesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert have featured in over 47 movies, most famously the John Wayne movies directed by John Ford.
This image was captured from the View Hotel which was built in 1998 on the site of one of John Ford’s most iconic filming locations. The elevation at The View Hotel is approximately 1,582 meters. The “Mittens” (buttes which resemble fingerless gloves) rise over 328 meters above the desert floor. Monument Valley is located within the Navaho Tribal Park which is the semi-autonomous homeland of the Navajo Nation. The Park occupies an area greater than the state of Connecticut. The View Hotel, owned by the Navajo Nation, is the only hotel in the Park.

The vast natural forest of Yellowstone National Park covers nearly 9,000 km2 . Yellowstone contains half of all the world’s known geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples. It also has the world’s largest concentration of geysers – two thirds of all those on the planet).
The park is one of the few remaining intact large ecosystems in the northern temperate zone of the earth. All flora in the park are allowed to progress through natural succession with no direct management being practiced. The park’s bison are the only wild, continuously free-ranging bison remaining.
Forest fires, if started from lightning, are often allowed to burn to permit the natural effects of fire assert itself. This image, captured outside the park, shows trees killed in previous wildfires sharing their reflections with new growth.
