Park Cape Krusenstern National Monument For 5,000 years, native people have hunted and fished the shores of the Chukchi Sea, deep inside the Arctic Circle. Trapped in the layered beach ridges, anthropologists have discovered evidence of human life that pre-dates the pyramids. Today, this remote stretch of land is home to the Inupiat, who still hunt seal for food, oil and hides. The national monument encompasses 70 miles of the shifting Chukchi shoreline. Experienced backcountry visitors can hike the wild beaches, watch waterfowl and wildlife, fish, and sea kayak.

Park Castillo de San Marcos National Monument This monument on the East Coast of Florida commemorates the fierce clashes between European powers over the spoils of the New World. St. Augustine, Florida, was the northernmost point of a vast Spanish empire that included Mexico, Central America and parts of South America. In the late 17th century, Spain built Castillo de San Marcos to defend the city against both pirates and British forces. The castle withstood an attack by the English in 1702 that left the rest of St. Augustine burned to the ground. Although the fortress was eventually claimed by England and later America via treaty, it was never taken by force. Today the bastion's history is told via weapons demonstrations, ranger talks and detailed museum exhibits.
