Most BEAUTIFUL Places in North America
For many watching this video, these places will be a stone’s throw away for you, but for others who are longing to do a spot of traveling, here are 22 reasons to hop on a plane right now! We soak in some of the most beautiful places in North America, so pack your bags and let’s go on an adventure…

9 - Stairway to heaven…
That’s the alternative name given to the Haiku Stairs of Oahu, Hawaii. At this point in time the stairway to heaven is closed to the public. Some people have chosen to ignore that though, and still make their way to the top. There are close to 4,000 stairs taking you to the top and put aside about 3-4 hours to get up and around 1-2 hours to come down. Perhaps we can make an exception just this one and bend the rules a little? It does seem worth the risk.
8 - Fill her up…
Because you and your vehicle are heading to Moraine Lake, Canada. The lake that has everyone heading to this area is found in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, and it’s elevated at around 6,200-feet! The water in Moraine Lake is a gorgeous blue, and almost stealing its thunder are the beautiful surrounding mountains and their snowy peaks.
7 - Man-made beauty…
So far, we’ve only touched on places that are natural, but there are a plethora of options of other beautiful places to visit, ones steeped in history with phenomenal tales that go with it. This is the Arlington Green Covered Bridge located just off Vermont Route 313. This bridge was built in1852 making it one of Vermont’s oldest surviving bridges. Makes you wonder who has traveled over that bridge over all these years. It’s 80-feet long with its width measuring 17.5-feet. What makes it most unusual is that nothing has been added to the bridge in recent years to strengthen it. It suffered some damage during Hurricane Irene, which was repaired and then reopened to the public.
6 - Book a one-way ticket…
Georgia is an amazing place to visit with the family, and particularly Savannah – the oldest city in Georgia. This beautiful city began in 1733 and was the first state capital of Georgia. Today the city serves as an industrial center and Atlantic seaport. Millions of visitors descend on this city every year and walk through the cobblestone streets and visit the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low. She founded Girl Scouts USA. One of the highlights is a tour of the Bonaventure Cemetery. There are beautiful sculptures, monuments and out of the world burial vaults, mix those up with moss-draped oak trees and a view of the nearby river, and you have quite the romantic yet eerie destination.
5 - Requires a little planning…
If you’re into your hiking, then this is probably on your must-hike list! The Wave is one of America’s most beautiful rock formations, and it’s located in Arizona. It’s close to the Horseshoe Bend we mentioned earlier. Only 20 people are allowed to hike on these beautiful mountains every day, and it’s done in a lucky draw type of way, although some stories suggest you can book – so maybe that’s changed. If you’re lucky enough to make the cut, share your photographs with the unlucky ones who didn’t get that once in a lifetime opportunity!
4 - Travel Lightly…
There won’t be too much space if you’re trekking through the Louisiana Atchafalaya Basin Swamp at Henderson. It’s the largest river swamp in the US and is made up of 1 million acres of hardwoods, swamps and lakes. Also known as America’s Wetland, the are is 150-miles long and 20-miles wide. Interesting to note – the basin is home to 65 species of reptiles and amphibians, plus 250 species of bird – that we know of, a huge variety of animals and the largest nesting concentration of bald eagles in the south US. 22 million-pounds of crayfish make their way from the basin to our plates every year!
3 - Take the scenic route…
Although not a specific place, it’s the view that the Beartooth highway affords the lucky traveler that is breath-taking. It’s a section of Route 212 in Montana and Wyoming connecting Red Lodge and the Northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park. You’ll reach levels of 10,947-feet above sea level, and it’s been described as “the most beautiful drive in America.”
2 - The hills are alive…
Palouse hills northeast of Walla Walla are 4,000 square miles of gorgeous rolling asymmetrical hills that connect the north of Lewiston to the end of Lake Coeur d’Alene. You would assume that rivers and streams would have created this beautiful landscape, but it is actually the result of prehistoric dust storms. One plausible theory suggests that the dust particles got trapped when they connected with the wetter grasslands. It’s also suggested that it would have taken 25,000-years to create this hilly landscape, judging from today’s wind speed. Dust storms are still extreme at Palouse, and they can reduce visibility and change the shade of the sun dramatically.

700 Pound Snake Pulled out of Lake in North Carolina
Giant 700 pound snake caught in lake in Proctor, North Carolina. The giant man eating python was measured at 98 feet long. Police were contacted to see if there have been any recently filed missing person reports as a snake this big could have surely eaten a human.
This giant snake is massive and just gorgeous, but it didn't take long to find out that the STORY behind it... was fake, just another hoax.
While the image is indeed real, I think the size of the giant snake could have been exaggerated due to the camera angle
Nevertheless, this snake is still huge, but where did it come from? The markings on it's skin looks similar to that of a reticulated python native to Southeast Asia. After playing around with a little Google translate, the mystery was finally solved.
This giant python came from Indonesia and after some rough translating, it turns out that it was discovered this last Thanksgiving near the village of Belinyu City. It was found by accident by a group of construction workers who severely injured the reptile while knocking down a large dead tree in which the python was sleeping inside of. The workers put the dying snake out of it's misery and buried it.
It's sad to see such an incredible animal killed, especially one that could have been a new world record size. I wish there were more pictures so we could get a better idea of just how large it was.
I really enjoyed learning about this amazing snake, if you guys have any cool wildlife stories or interesting animals that you think I might enjoy, tell me about it on Facebook

SUMMARY
=======
Vancouver Island is in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The island is 460 kilometres (290 mi) in length, 100 kilometres (62 mi) in width at its widest point, and 32,134 km2 (12,407 sq mi) in area. It is the largest island on the West Coast of North America.
The southern part of Vancouver Island and some of the nearby Gulf Islands are the only parts of British Columbia or Western Canada to lie south of the 49th Parallel. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.Vancouver Island had a population in 2016 of 775,347. Nearly half of that figure (367,770) live in the metropolitan area of Greater Victoria. Other notable cities and towns on Vancouver Island include Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Parksville, Courtenay, and Campbell River. Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is located on the island, but the larger city of Vancouver is not – it is on the North American mainland, across the Strait of Georgia from Nanaimo.
Vancouver Island has been the homeland to many indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The island was explored by British and Spanish expeditions in the late 18th century. It was named Quadra's and Vancouver's Island in commemoration of the friendly negotiations held in 1792 by Spanish commander of the Nootka Sound settlement, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and by British naval captain George Vancouver, during the Nootka Crisis. Bodega y Quadra's name was eventually dropped from the name. It is one of several North American locations named after George Vancouver, who explored the Pacific Northwest coast between 1791 and 1794.
Vancouver Island is the world's 43rd largest island, Canada's 11th largest island, and Canada's second most populous island after the Island of Montreal. It is the largest Pacific island anywhere east of New Zealand.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ohio River, which streams westward from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois, is the largest tributary, by volume, of the Mississippi River in the United States. At the confluence, the Ohio is considerably bigger than the Mississippi (Ohio at Cairo: 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m3/s); Mississippi at Thebes: 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m3/s)) and, thus, is hydrologically the main stream of the whole river system.
The 981-mile (1,579 km) river flows through or along the border of six states, and its drainage basin includes parts of 15 states. Through its largest tributary, the Tennessee River, the basin includes many of the states of the southeastern U.S. It is the source of drinking water for three million people.The name Ohio comes from the Seneca, Ohi:yo', lit. Good River. The river had great significance in the history of the Native Americans, as numerous civilizations formed along its valley. For thousands of years, Native Americans used the river as a major transportation and trading route. Its waters connected communities. In the five centuries before European conquest, the Mississippian culture built numerous regional chiefdoms and major earthwork mounds in the Ohio Valley, such as Angel Mounds near Evansville, Indiana, as well as in the Mississippi Valley and the Southeast. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca and Kaw lived in the Ohio Valley, but under pressure from the Iroquois to the northeast, migrated west of the Mississippi River to Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma in the 17th century.
In 1669, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle led a French expedition to the Ohio River, becoming the first Europeans to see it. After European-American settlement, the river served as a border between present-day Kentucky and Indian Territories. It was a primary transportation route for pioneers during the westward expansion of the early U.S. In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781–82, Thomas Jefferson stated: The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth. Its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids, a single instance only excepted.During the 19th century, the river was the southern boundary of the Northwest Territory. It is sometimes considered as the western extension of the Mason–Dixon Line that divided Pennsylvania from Maryland, and thus part of the border between free and slave territory, and between the Northern and Southern United States or Upper South. Where the river was narrow, it was the way to freedom for thousands of slaves escaping to the North, many helped by free blacks and whites of the Underground Railroad resistance movement.
The Ohio River is a climatic transition area, as its water runs along the periphery of the humid subtropical and humid continental climate areas. It is inhabited by fauna and flora of both climates. In winter, it regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh but rarely farther south toward Cincinnati and Louisville. At Paducah, Kentucky, in the south, near the Ohio's confluence with the Mississippi, it is ice-free year-round.
Southwestern Anthropology: the Lives and Legacies of Omer Stewart and Joe Ben Wheat
Southwestern Anthropology: the Lives and Legacies of Omer Stewart and Joe Ben Wheat was addressed by Dr. Deward Walker and Dr. Stephen Lekson on Wednesday October 26, 2011 at CU-Boulder Libraries.
Omer Stewart, cultural anthropologist, social activist, and founder of the Department of Anthropology is most famously known for combating racism, defending the use of peyote in the Native American Church, and serving as an expert witness in defense of American Indian land claims.
Joe Ben Wheat, archaeologist, teacher, and first Curator of Anthropology at CU-Boulder's Museum of Natural History, excavated Paleo-Indian and Ancestral Pueblo archeological sites and devised a pioneering classification system for southwestern textiles.
Dr. Deward Walker, Ph.D., University of Oregon, 1964, came to the University of Colorado Boulder in 1969, where he has conducted research with tribes of the Plains, Northwest, Great Basin, and Southwest. He has more than 200 publications among some two dozen Tribes and several Hispanic populations of western North America dealing with ethnography, ethnohistory, archaeology, historical linguistics, and applied research, including investigations of Tribal health, education, criminal justice practices, environmental impact assessments, and natural and cultural resources. He is well-known for his editorship of the Plateau Volume of the Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians and for his editorship of several leading journals in applied anthropology and in the Northwest. Like Omer Stewart, he has frequently served as an expert witness in cases concerning American Indian religious freedom, Tribal land claims, treaty-reserved rights, and rights of American Indian prisoners. He is currently engaged in research in the Great Basin and Plateau.
Dr. Stephen Lekson, Ph.D., University of New Mexico, 1988, is Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Archeology at the CU Museum of Natural History. His fieldwork has been in the Mogollon and Ancestral Pueblo regions of the Southwest. His principal interests are human geography, built environments, government, museums and interpretation, and archaeology's role in American and global intellectual life. Lekson's current research projects focus on the Mimbres region in southern New Mexico and the Yellow Jacket site, a large Mesa Verde site excavated by Joe Ben Wheat.
This event was inspired by an exhibit about Stewart and Wheat in Norlin Library.

Description: Poverty Point State Historic Site is a prehistoric earthworks of the Poverty Point culture, located in present-day northeastern Louisiana. It has been designated as a U.S. National Monument and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Southern United States, it is 15.5 miles from the current Mississippi River, and situated on the edge of Maçon Ridge, near the village of Epps in West Carroll Parish. Poverty Point comprises several earthworks and mounds, built between 1650 and 700 BC during the Archaic period in North America, by a group of Native Americans of the Poverty Point culture. The culture extended 100 miles across the Mississippi Delta. The original purposes of Poverty Point have not been determined by archaeologists, although they have proposed various possibilities, including that it was a settlement, a trading center, and/or a ceremonial religious complex. The 910-acre site, which has been described as the largest and most complex Late Archaic earthwork occupation and ceremonial site yet found in North America is a registered National Monument. The monument was brought to the attention of archaeologists in the early 20th century, when it was given the name of Poverty Point after a nearby plantation. Since then, various professional excavations have taken place at the site. Scholars have advanced various theories regarding the purpose of the mound site, including religious and ceremonial. Other writers have proposed pseudo-archaeological and New Age associations. The complex attracts many tourists as a destination.

SUMMARY
=======
Santa Fe ( or ; Tewa: Oghá P’o'oge, Navajo: Yootó; Zuni: Ts'u'yala) is the capital and fourth-most populous city of the U.S. state of New Mexico. In addition to being the eponymous seat of Santa Fe County, it has approximately 83,875 inhabitants with a metropolitan area population of approximately 144,170. Due to its geographic location in Northern New Mexico–at the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Rocky Mountains–Santa Fe exhibits an alpine and dry steppe climate with pronounced forestry, various mountain ranges, and large plains, along its city limits. During the winter season, Santa Fe typically experiences large amounts of snowfall and drops in temperature allowing it to maintain New Mexico's third-largest ski resort, Ski Santa Fe, following Angel Fire Resort and Taos Ski Valley. The city's subalpine land elevation is 7,199 feet above sea level, making it the third-highest city in elevation in the United States. It is jointly-eponymous with Santa Fe, Granada, Spain–both cities feature a castle, lion, and the Spanish imperial eagle on their official seals and flags. Spanish culture is celebrated annually in Santa Fe, most notably with Fiestas de Santa Fe and the burning of Zozobra.
The area of Santa Fe has been continuously occupied since 900 BCE, originally inhabited by prehistoric Pueblo and Tanoan hunter-gatherers. Formal settlements spread in the early 1200s, making Santa Fe one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in the Western Hemisphere. Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate led an envoy into the city during the early 17th century as a part of Spain's larger effort to colonize the Americas. New Mexico's first colonial governor, Pedro de Peralta, designated Santa Fe the capital of the Kingdom of New Mexico in 1610, making it the oldest state capital in the United States. The full name of the City of Santa Fe (Spanish: Ciudad de Santa Fe) as founded remains La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís (The Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi). As the capital of the New Spain, Santa Fe de Nuevo México served as the seat of power for the Spanish Empire in North America. It briefly gained independence from 1680 to 1692 after Pueblo peoples intermittently revolted. After Diego de Vargas reconquered the city for New Spain in the late 1690s, it remained under Spanish rule for more than a century. While Spain lost Santa Fe to Mexico in 1810, Mexico suppressed a Texan raid on Santa Fe in 1841 only to lose it to the United States five years later. Santa Fe was designated the capital of the U.S. State of New Mexico in 1912.
As the cultural and economic centre of New Mexico, the city exerts substantial influence in the state's politics, education, entertainment, environment, media, fashion, science, culture, and the arts. The Governor's Mansion, New Mexico Legislature, and Supreme Court of New Mexico are all headquartered in Santa Fe. It is home to the New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, operating the International Folk Art Market and Santa Fe Indian Market during the summers. While it possesses modern infrastructure, the city has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighborhoods and streets. Its landmarks include the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, San Miguel Mission, and Santa Fe Plaza. In addition to numerous parks and woodlands, the Santa Fe National Forest is within its northern city limits. The city has one of the most expensive real estate and rental markets in the country. Known for its art market, Santa Fe has the third-largest art market value in the United States, with nearly 250 art galleries and brokers. The city was designated a UNESCO World Creative City in 2005 for its efforts in cultural preservation.
Cherokee
The Cherokee are a Native American people historically settled in the Southeastern United States . They speak an Iroquoian language. In the 19th century, historians and ethnographers recorded their oral tradition that told of the tribe having migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples were. They began to have contact with European traders in the 18th century. American colonist, Henry Timberlake, described the Cherokee nation as he saw it in 1761:

SUMMARY

The Cherokee (; Cherokee: ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯ, translit. Aniyvwiyaʔi or Cherokee: ᏣᎳᎩ, translit. Tsalagi) are one of the indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands. Prior to the 18th century, they were concentrated in southwestern North Carolina, southeastern Tennessee, and the tips of western South Carolina and northeastern Georgia.The Cherokee language is part of the Iroquoian language group. In the 19th century, James Mooney, an American ethnographer, recorded one oral tradition that told of the tribe having migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples lived; however, anthropologist Thomas R. Whyte writes that the origin of the proto-Iroquoian language was likely the Appalachian region and the split between Northern and Southern Iroquoian languages began 4,000 years ago.Today there are three federally recognized Cherokee tribes: the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB) in Oklahoma, and the Cherokee Nation (CN) in Oklahoma.By the 19th century, European settlers in the United States classified the Cherokee of the Southeast as one of the Five Civilized Tribes, because they were agrarian and lived in permanent villages and began to adopt some cultural and technological practices of the European American settlers. The Cherokee were one of the first, if not the first, major non-European ethnic group to become U.S. citizens. Article 8 in the 1817 treaty with the Cherokee stated that Cherokees may wish to become citizens of the United States.The Cherokee Nation has more than 300,000 tribal members, making it the largest of the 567 federally recognized tribes in the United States. In addition, numerous groups claim Cherokee lineage, and some of these are state-recognized. A total of more that 819,000 people claim having Cherokee ancestry on the US census, which includes persons who are not enrolled members of any tribe.Of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes, the Cherokee Nation and the UKB have headquarters in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The UKB are mostly descendants of Old Settlers, Cherokee who migrated to Arkansas and Oklahoma about 1817 prior to Indian Removal. They are related to the Cherokee who were later forcibly relocated there in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is on the Qualla Boundary in western North Carolina; their ancestors resisted or avoided relocation, remaining in the area.
