1 Yosemite

12/5/15

Yosemite National Park, set within California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains and designated a World Heritage Site, is home to hundreds of wildlife species, and is famed for its iconic mountain vistas, water falls, and giant sequoia groves.

2 Olympic

12/5/15

Olympic National Park in Washington State, with nearly one million acres, protects a rich mosaic of nature, as untamed rivers flow from glacier-capped peaks through valleys of old-growth forests, and waves crash against 73 miles of spectacular shoreline rich with life.

3 Everglades

1/24/16

The Everglades have been called a river of grass. The National Park hosts an assortment of fascinating habitats, and is home to species such as alligators, the elusive Florida panther, and the delicate Key deer. Join us as we investigate these remarkable creatures' lives, explore how they cope with threats from aggressive invasive species, and survive in the dynamic environment of the park.

4 Gates of the Arctic

1/31/16

Alaska is often called the last frontier: vast mountain ranges, grizzly bears hunting salmon, and mighty moose roaming through an endless wilderness. Places like Denali NP are world famous, but the north of Alaska is little known: thousands of square kilometers of trackless and untouched wilderness, far away from any civilization. Here lies one of America's most remote parks: Gates of the Arctic.
