alex_1 — Sawtooth National Forest

“Why do they call it America the Beautiful?” I have a lot of questions for this country but “why do they call it America the Beautiful” is not one of them! From the mountains of Alaska to desert roads in Utah, alpine lakes, glaciers, national parks, tiny mountain towns, weird roadside stops, and all the places that make you say “wow” every five seconds, this country is crazy beautiful 🥹💙 A little 4th of July reminder that the best parts of America are the wild places, the public lands, the trails, the mountains, the rivers, the coastlines, and the places that still make you feel really, really small. Happy almost 4th of July 🇺🇸 #visitusa #usatravel #usaroadtrip #exploretheoutdoors
