Your daily dose of cute: A bear cub hanging out in a tree at Great Smoky Mountains National Park (North Carolina and Tennessee).

The Colorado National Monument rises more than 2,000 feet above the Grand Valley of the Colorado River. Towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive or hike some of the park’s more than 40 miles of maintained trails.

Last week, the Northern Lights put on a show that could be seen as far south as Glacier National Park in Montana. Witnessing this natural phenomenon at Glacier can be a rare sight and only happens when there are strong bursts of the Aurora Borealis. Photos of the Northern Lights and the starry night sky over Lake McDonald by Jacob W. Frank.

Happy Earth Day! We celebrate our earth every day by conserving America’s public lands like Yosemite (pictured here). Our national parks not only create healthier communities, they also support local economies. Every dollar invested in national parks returns $10 to the U.S. economy. We need to continue to invest in our national parks and other public lands for future generations. http://on.doi.gov/1EbKRRk

Redwood National and State Parks in California protect forests, vast prairies, oak woodlands, wild riverways, and nearly 40 miles of pristine coastline as part of the ancient coast redwood forest ecosystem. But most visitors come to see the majestic redwoods, which can exceed 300 feet in height. Photo by Jessica Watz (www.sharetheexperience.org).

A fiery sunrise over the Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park in California. Many first time visitors to Death Valley are surprised it is not covered with a sea of sand. Less than one percent of the desert is covered with dunes, yet the shadowed ripples and stark, graceful curves define “desert” in our imaginations. The Mesquite Flat Dunes are the best known and easiest to visit in the national park. Check out more amazing pics of Death Valley: http://on.doi.gov/1bBt3ob
