In the Avalanche Lake area of Glacier National Park, abundant rainfall, prehistoric glaciers and rushing streams have combined to create a landscape of striking beauty and rich diversity. So much water allows nature to display vibrant colors – from sparkling blue lakes to rich green forests. A hike on the Trail of Cedars is a great way to experience this gorgeous Montana landscape.

Photographer Jose Torres took advantage of a cross country move to take pictures in national parks along the way. One of his favorite stops was Badlands National Park in South Dakota where he captured this amazing scene of the unique rock formations glowing in the light of the moon and the Milky Way. What a shot! Photo courtesy of Jose Torres.

Go 🐢 go! Watch these cute sea turtle hatchlings race to the ocean at Padre Island National Seashore in Texas. Padre Island – the longest stretch of an undeveloped barrier island in the world – protects 70 miles of coastline, dunes, prairies and wind tidal flats. It’s a safe nesting ground for the endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle, one of five types of sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico that use the park and its surrounding waters.
