Celebrating public lands in places full of meaning

There could be many public lands photos that have this title. But for me this one encompasses so much of what the world has always been. From
what was, in my childhood, the very height of the world, a place I first climbed, alone, when I was 13 or 14, avoiding hunting, to first getting to know Renee, to seeing this peak from the desert below and thinking that’s my backyard. Duffer Peak, I love that you are there for me, and I say cheers to everyone else’s special places on public lands!

​September 30, 2017 is National Public Lands Day. To celebrate this we are going to share images of public lands from our archives every day in September.
