#otd, 100 years ago, Theodore Roosevelt died at @sagamorehillnhs, in New York. When he ascended to the presidency in 1901 he was the youngest person to do so and ushered in a progressive era of reform. Part of that wave of reform was his work in preserving the scenic and historic wonders of this country as part of the future National Park Service. In Teddy’s words: “Leave it [wilderness] as it is. You cannot improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children, and for all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American... should see." To me, he remains the perfect example of a progressive American president who worked toward the common good. He is a complicated figure, for sure, but his contributions to enshrining American identity in wilderness are incomparable to any other American politician. Thank you, Teddy. : : #SagamoreHill #findyourpark #SagamoreHillNationalHistoricSite #Sagamore #Roosevelt #TeddyRoosevelt #TheodoreRoosevelt #NewYork #LongIsland #FindYourPark #GoParks #usinterior #experienceyouramerica #americasbestidea #protectpubliclands #travel #protectingparks #americanhistory #natparkexplorer #optoutside #thenationalparkspass #history #monumentsforall #sharetheexperience #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #ibrakeforbrownsigns #nationalparkobsessed : : Sagamore Hill is probably my favorite “Presidential Home” or “Historical Home” unit in the NPS. The tour is spectacular there and everything is wonderfully preserved. There’s nothing quite like standing in Teddy’s office or Grand Hall and seeing his belongings and books and imagining him entertaining and talking to John Muir in that very room.

GRANITE Want to take a guess as to where I am? These granite mountains and boulders are a telling characteristic. . . . My very first visit to Yosemite National Park! Can you believe that I scrambled my way up this granite face to the top at those trees? It looks way more intense seeing it here than I thought it was while doing it yesterday...maybe that's why there were only a couple of other people making the trek too?? :) . Did you guess where I was correctly? Have you ever been? . #CaliforniaWild #sponsored #visitcalifornia @visitcalifornia #highsierras @yosemitenps #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #californiatravel #granite #yosemitepark #thisisadventure #olmsteadpoint #natparkexplorer #getoutandexplore #granitemountain #lookingup #iclimbedthat #travelmore #californianature #nationalparksusa http://ift.tt/2w121AI

Happy #NationalBirdDay! Bird watching is one of my pastimes and living next to @evergladesnps makes that endeavor all the more fruitful. I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that EVER’s Barred Owls are among my favorite subjects to photograph, among others. When I was in 4th grade I wanted to be an ornithologist. 20 years later.... it didn’t exactly happen but I’m still happy that my love of owls endures. : : #Everglades #evergladesnp #evergladesnationalpark #evergladesnps #miami #florida #igersenp #igersbigcypress #FindYourPark #GoParks #usinterior #experienceyouramerica #americasbestidea #protectpubliclands #protectingparks #naturephotousa #natparkexplorer #optoutside #monumentsforall #sharetheexperience #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #ibrakeforbrownsigns #nationalparkobsessed #owl #owls #barredowl #owlsofinstagram #audobonsociety (at Pahayokee Trail Everglades) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQYeHNne-M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ed7bhyww09rf

The tallest mountain in this shot is Clingman’s Dome, which is sadly closed for the season. An excuse to come back in spring or summer, though. #Greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #FindYourPark #smokymountains #greatsmoky #tennessee #northcarolina #FindYourPark #GoParks #parks101 #ShareTheExperience #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkgeek #RockThePark #usinterior #wnpa1938 #alltrails #experienceyouramerica #whyihearttheparks #americasbestidea #naturephotousa #npcollective #protectpubliclands #natparkexplorer #monumentsforall #optoutside (at Clingmans Dome)
