It's been raining a lot in our neck of the woods, and we couldn't be more excited about it. In addition to the aroma of clean air and the re-invigorated vegetation, the new rainfall is mixing with winter's runoff and waterfalls are entering their peak season. 

And even though you can find waterfalls almost anywhere, there are a few Wild Spaces that really stand out. Yosemite National Park is perhaps North America's King, but Mt. Rainier National Park may very well be the Queen. Her offering of both thunderous cascades and melodious falls is staggering. Where other Wild Spaces may have cascades numbering in the hundreds, Mt. Rainier offers thousands, and they are never more plentiful then from May through July.

It's been said that if there is one destination every American should visit in their lifetime, it's the Grand Canyon. Honestly, when there are so many amazing Wild Spaces to visit, it's impossible to narrow our priorities to a single location. But, any list of must see Wild Spaces simply has to include the natural masterpiece that is  the Grand Canyon.

It's beyond description, and any lover of Wild Spaces will be struck to the core by it's presence. And here's a friendly tip: Schedule in some time to watch the sunset. You'll be glad you did. And if you're lucky, you may even be fortunate enough to experience a Condor Sunset. One of the rarest animals in the world, and there may be no better place to view them, then at the Grand Canyon.
