America's Most Incredible National Parks

America's Most Incredible National Parks: Grand Canyon

 The sheer size of Arizona’s Grand Canyon can overwhelm the senses: It’s 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep. Upon visiting the area in 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt, an avid outdoorsman, advocated for its protection, saying, “The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American should see.” Grand Canyon National Park was established on Feb. 26, 1919.

America’s Must-See Civil War Sites

America’s Must-See Civil War Sites: Washington, D.C.

 

One hundred fifty years ago, the United States was plunging inexorably into the Civil War, in which more than 600,000 Americans died — almost as many as all other U.S. wars combined. The war’s sesquicentennial is drawing travelers to numerous sites around the country that commemorate the conflict; what follows are a baker’s dozen of the best. There is no more meaningful place to start — or finish — measuring the weight of America’s worst war than the beautiful monument to Abraham Lincoln that anchors one end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. And to consider Lincoln’s charge at Gettysburg, which still rings today: “…To be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus nobly advanced.”

The Oakville-Trafalgar Secondary School grad said his rookie status could be an advantage, as he isn’t going into the race with any pre-conceived expectations. He said his strategy would be to use the first 250 miles to “learn” and then put what he’s learned to use over the second 250 miles.
He added his No. 1 goal was just to “make it to the end. For the first one I think that’s a pretty good day if you can come home.” But he did mention top rookie would be nice.
Hinchcliffe — who is the self-proclaimed mayor of Hinchtown (his irreverent website) — said his offbeat personality has helped him stand out in the racing world.
