Found in Cody Wyoming is a braille trail. The trail has different surfaces at points of interest with signs in Braille. A person with impaired vision using a cane would feel the tactile different in the ground surface and know that there is a point of interest. The first Braille Nature Trail was dedicated in 1967 near Aspen, Colorado. 
Memorial to the Rough Riders in Arlington National Cemetery
A memorial dedicated in 1907 that commemorates those members of the “Rough Riders” who died in the Spanish–American War in 1898. The Rough Riders were a Calgary unit formed by Teddy Roosevelt. They were nicknamed by the press the “Rough Riders” because most of the men were cowboys, frontiersmen, railroad workers, Native Americans, and similar “rough” people from the West.
Montana Paradise Valley Reflection
Paradise Valley is a major river valley of the Yellowstone River in Southwestern Montana just north of Yellowstone National Park in Park County. The valley is flanked by the Absaroka Range on the east and the Gallatin Range on the west. The Paradise Valley is separated from the Gallatin Valley and Bozeman, Montana by the Bozeman Pass. I-90 passes through both communities. Livingston, Montana is at the North and to the South is Yankee Jim Canyon, approximately fifteen miles north of Gardiner, Montana and the north entrance of Yellowstone Park. US Highway 89 passes through the valley and into Yellowstone National Park. The valley was the original entrance to Yellowstone.
El Capitan Reflection
El Capitan’s iconic granite walls dominate the west end of Yosemite Valley. At more than 3,000 feet (900+ m) above the valley floor, it is 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, or more than 3 times as high as the tip of the Eiffel Tower. From spring to fall, climbers come from all over the globe to scale El Capitan and discover the thrill of the vertical wilderness on Yosemite’s big walls. Gain a different perspective at night and see the climber’s headlamps illuminate across the El Capitan rock face as they prepare their meals or get ready for bed. Also, get a glimpse of the Milky Way or see how the rocks of Yosemite Valley glow beneath a full moon.
Cascade Ponds
Cascade Ponds are a series of ponds that lie under Cascade Mountain. Cascade Ponds are located right off the Trans-Canada Highway before you reach the town of Banff, Canada. Cascade Ponds are located in the heart of Banff National Park and consists of quiet, tree-covered pathways and crystal clear glacial water. Aptly named, Cascade Ponds is known for its scenic view of the towering Cascade Mountain off in distance.
Turnbull National Refuge
Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 20,000 acres in eastern Washington on the edge of the Columbia River Basin. The Channeled Scablands ecosystem that predominates the Refuge is unique within the National Wildlife Refuge System and has characteristics that distinguish it from the natural reserves worldwide. Ponderosa pine, wetlands, meadow steppe and riparian habitat dominate the landscape. The refuge is approximately a 40-minute drive from Spokane, Washington. An abundance and diversity of wildlife and wildflowers awaits the traveling visitor.
Trillium Blossom
Forty-three species of trillium are known worldwide with a startling thirty-eight represented in North America. Within the United States, the bulk of Trillium diversity is found in the eastern states where Terrific Trilliums are among the favorites on many a spring wildflower walk. Despite the visual simplicity of trilliums (they all have three petals and three sepals) they are actually a very complex group of plants that can confuse even the best of botanists. One might think that the striking colors of the flowers might be a useful character for identification, yet many of the species have a variety of color forms, and it is not uncommon to find the two growing together! Additionally, many species hybridize, making identifications more difficult.
Rainy Lake waterfall
Situated in the North Cascades National Park, this lake is special. It is one of the very few mountain lakes that can be accessed via a paved 1 mile trail. Rainy Lake is a remnant of Lake Agassiz, which was formed as the glaciers retreated north during the last ice age 50,000 to 10,000 years ago. Rainy Lake rocks are from 2.5 to 3.6 billion years old.
North Cascades Valley
North Cascades National Park is in northern Washington State. Just three hours from Seattle, North Cascades National Park’s rugged beauty is characterized by jagged peaks, deep forested valleys, cascading waterfalls, and over 300 glaciers — more than any other U.S. park outside of Alaska.
Blast from the Past
Remember when we had plastic seats, big steering wheels, wind wings for windows (sometimes used as the air conditioning), dice hanging from the rear view mirror? Drivers steering wheel and dash from a classic Ford automobile.
Cranberry Lake Reflection
Cranberry Lake is located in Deception Pass State Park. At one point, Cranberry Lake was a saltwater inlet. The retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet created a basin about 15,000 years ago, which filled with ocean water. Over time, sand dunes built up a divide between the lake and West Beach. Some saltwater still exists in the depths of the lake. Cranberry Lake got its name from its history as a cranberry bog used by settlers.
Shay Railroad Engine
The Shay locomotive is a geared steam locomotive that originated and was primarily used in North America. The locomotives were built to the patents of Ephraim Shay, who has been credited with the popularization of the concept of a geared steam locomotive. Shay applied for and was issued a patent for the basic idea in 1881. He patented an improved geared truck for his engines in 1901. After the basic Shay patents had expired, Willamette Iron and Steel Works of Portland, Oregon, manufactured Shay-type locomotives, and in 1927, Willamette obtained a patent on an improved geared truck for such locomotives. These became known as Willamette locomotives. On January 10, 1923, Willamette started the construction of the engine to be delivered to Arthur Spur, MT on May 10. It would become Western Lumber Company’s Engine #3. In 1928, the Anaconda Company purchased Western Lumber Co., from William Clark’s heirs. The Willamette Engine #3 was part of this sale. It
was renumbered to #7 as the seventh logging locomotive that Anaconda operated and worked until 1948.
