According to the Library of Congress, the period of the American West was between 1865 and 1900 and was a time that saw a great deal of turbulence. After 1840, the west saw significant settlement and substantial growth following the Civil War. The Indian Appropriations Act of 1851 facilitated the forced relocation of Native Americans to reservations, opening up previously claimed lands to white settlers eager to stake their claims in the West.

Never a dull moment in Yellowstone National Park.

Spanning across Wyoming, Montana and into Idaho, Yellowstone National Park is home to some of the most incredible wildlife you'll find anywhere in the United States. We're talking bears, wolves, elk, deer, bison, pronghorn, as well as a ton of fish, birds, and reptiles.

Established in 1872, it's the first national park in the United States and widely accepted as the first national park in the world. Some will argue however that Bogd Khan Uul National Park in Mongolia is the oldest. Oldest or not, if it's not on...

Legendary cryptids seem to roam every remote corner of the globe, from the yeti of the snow-capped Himalayas to the Mongolian death worm of the Gobi Desert’s unforgiving sands. But among these cryptids, perhaps the most well-known is the elusive lake monster. These plesiosaur-like creatures are said to dwell in numerous lakes, from Scotland’s Loch Ness to Argentina’s Nahuelito to the West Coast’s own Tahoe Tessie (a not-so-creative homage to her Scottish sibling).

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app. I first set foot on the John Muir Trail while thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2011. For the first 767 miles through California, every trail angel I met told me to take the JMT when it splits from the PCT for 13 miles near Reds Meadow. So I did. That section of the Sierra is where I bonded with my fellow thru-hikers. We invented a horseshoe-style game with the snow baskets of our trekking poles and played it every afternoon. We learned how to use hard-copy maps and compasses to find the top of Forester Pass. It is also the first time I heard about FKTs, which came to play a huge role in my later hiking career. The JMT was full of magic and rumors; people said the record holders would hike all night and sleep during the day so that they didn’t need to bring a sleeping bag. As a 20-year-old, hearing these stories amidst the glory of the high Sierra sparked my lifelong love of the outdoors.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
