 Wild horses, an icon of the American West, roam America's valleys and plains.  The Grand Canyon is

 American bison, long a symbol of our national heritage, graze freely in Yellowstone National Park.  America's 13,000 miles of coastline and 3.4 million square nautical miles of ocean grace our nation with majestic views, beautiful beaches and unique fish and plant species.  El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico showcases the exquisite beauty of a tropical rainforest.  The powerful Rio Grande is protected as a Wild and Scenic River as it flows below Big Bend National Park.  The setting sun illuminates the Western desert.  California's majestic redwood trees reveal the unique beauty of our National Forests.
