America's Natural Wonders

Whether it's close to home like Virginia's Natural Bridge (below) or further afield to the Grand Canyon or even Denali National Park on the other side of Canada (i.e. Alaska!) America has many natural wonders to explore and the Alexandria Campus Library has many books to help you do just that -- whether you'll be taking a road trip or spending the summer as an arm-chair tourist.  Check out one of these titles.
