We’re celebrating National Get Outdoors Day with this beautiful photo of Spray Park Trail, which winds through meadows and forests at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. This 6-mile trail offers spectacular views of fields of wildflowers alongside va waterfall and Mowich Glacier. Even if you can’t make it to the park, get inspired and find public lands near you to make the most of this special day! Need more inspiration?

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada – only 17 miles from the Las Vegas Strip – entices visitors with a 13-mile scenic drive, miles of hiking trails, rock climbing, mountain biking and more. With so many recreational opportunities, there’s something for everyone. After a few straight days of rain and dark clouds, the skies cleared to create this serene sunrise over the area’s unique desert landscape. Photo courtesy of Josh Packer.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina will engage your senses. Shaped by the forces of water, wind and storms, these islands are always changing. The plants, wildlife and people who live here adapt continually. Whether you are walking on the beach, kayaking on the sound or climbing up the lighthouse, there is something for everyone to explore.
