Park Olympic National Park Exploring Olympic’s dynamic landscape is like visiting three parks in one. The high mountains offer snow, glaciers, wilderness and — if you time it right — acres of wildflowers. The lush, verdant Hoh Rainforest is unlike anything else in the Lower 48, and home to Roosevelt elk, black bears and other charismatic wildlife. And the park’s stunning coast offers some of the country's wildest and most spectacular beaches, dotted with tide pools and sea stacks. Visitors can now see where park staff recently removed two large dams, letting the Elwha River flow freely again for the first time in more than 100 years.

Park President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site Despite what its name suggests, this two-and-a-half story frame house in Hope, Arkansas, is not where the 42nd president of the United States was actually born, but where he lived for his first four years with his widowed mother and maternal grandparents. (He was born on Aug. 19, 1946 in a hospital in town.) The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and became a national park site in 2010. Today, visitors can tour the 1917 home and view exhibits depicting the president’s youth in a nearby visitor center.
