America's beauty

Honeycomb Rock, Pine Hills Nature Preserve, Indiana

There is something to see, to smell, to explore in America's natural places. The Wilderness Act set aside vast tracts of America simply to be preserved without being built on for the purposes of the commerce of the day. Passed in 1964 it began a step to valuing things like open spaces, clean water and clean air.

 

 

Indiana has been called the Crossroads of America.  Her last few wild places still crackle with sights and sounds of natural beauty.
