Hi friends. I'm going to continue posting my 365 day wild places on my personal page, but I need to get some actual work posts here on this page 🥹😁. Thank you so much for following along and I hope you'll join me on my personal page (heidi swoboda) for more fun nature.

Day 30 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/20/26
American Pika
We made it to day 30! Thank you everyone who is following along. I’m not sure exactly what I was thinking by starting this crazy idea, but your participation is definitely what is keeping it going. I appreciate you! So now, for some cuteness… If you find yourself in the alpine or subalpine zone, above treeline near a rock tallus slope West of the Rocky Mountains and hear a shrill whistle, it might just be from one of these adorable American Pikas. They busy themselves all Summer by picking, drying and stacking plants into a ‘haystack’ to eat in the Winter. They are vulnerable to prolonged temperatures above 79 degrees so are at risk from climate change. Scientists from several National Agencies have been monitoring American Pikas.
You can track and report sightings of these animals through community science programs like the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife resources or regional monitoring projects. Here is a bit more about Pikas in case you’d like to know more about these little darlings: https://www.nps.gov/vall/learn/nature/american-pika.htm

Day 28 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/18/26
Shoshone Falls, Idaho
Shoshone Falls is a beautiful reminder that protecting special places doesn’t always begin with a national designation.
As early as 1900, local residents asked Congress to protect this remarkable waterfall as a national monument. That designation never came, but thankfully, generations of people have continued to care for Shoshone Falls and keep it accessible to the public.
Today, the falls are managed by the City of Twin Falls Parks and Recreation Department—and at 212 feet, Shoshone Falls is actually taller than Niagara Falls.
Sometimes, the places we love endure because people simply refuse to stop caring for them. 💚

Day 27 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/17/26
Craters Of The Moon National Monument and Preserve, Idaho
This is the craziest place! Acres of lava flows, cinder cones and spatter cones (they’re different - who knew?), meandering trails, huge vista views. I don’t think photos can do justice to this unusual and fragile bit of publicly protected land.

Beebe Springs - Where Wild Places Meet Art
The Beebe Springs Unit protects a mile of Columbia River shoreline within the much larger 31,100-acre Chelan Wildlife Area, managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Here, riparian habitat, wetlands, shrubsteppe, and dramatic cliff and talus slopes come together along the river.
But one of the first things you’ll notice isn’t something wild at all—it’s an incredibly detailed metal sculpture created by Colville Tribal artist Smoker Marchand.
An ADA-accessible interpretive trail, a kids’ fishing pond, and plenty of opportunities to explore make Beebe Springs a wonderful reminder that our shared wild places can be places of discovery, recreation, art, and connection.
Another little corner of Washington worth slowing down for.

Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska
Mendenhall Glacier, (Tlingit : Áakʼw Tʼáak Sítʼ) is a glacier about 13.6 miles long in the Mendenhall Valley near Juneau, Alaska. The glacier and surrounding landscape are protected as part of the 5,815 acres Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, a federally designated unit of the Tongass National Forest. The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) has monitored the outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield since 1942, including Mendenhall Glacier. My daughter Rory spent a Summer with JIRP skiing across the glaciers and conducting research. Our public lands are part of America's shared inheritance. They're worth exploring, understanding, and protecting.

Day 22 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/12/26
Small Wonders
Some of the most fascinating wonders in our wild places aren’t grand mountains or sweeping vistas. Sometimes, they’re the strange and wonderful little things.
These curious icicle formations were created as river levels rose and fell, leaving behind layers of ice in these fun shapes.
A little reminder that wild places are always creating something new—if we slow down enough to notice.

Day 22 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/12/26
Smith Rocks State Park, Oregon
A few years back, the Cascade High School Climbing Club took a field trip to Smith Rocks. If you enjoy scenic views of deep river canyons or rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is the place for you. There are several thousand climbs in the park. More than a thousand are bolted routes. There are also miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Along your trip through the canyon, you might see golden eagles, prairie falcons, mule deer, river otter and beaver, and in our case, sporky! I can’t immediately locate our Smith Rock guide book but it has one of my favorite route descriptions for a route on Monkey Face. Something about stepping across onto the next rock over with “nauseating exposure”. Yikes! Take care.

Day 21 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/11/26
WA Dept of Fish and Wildlife, Colockum Wildlife Area
I thought it was time for something cute, and also, a bit more Colockum for my cousin Greg. The Colockum Wildlife Area features exceptionally diverse fish and wildlife habitat that includes shrubsteppe, conifer forest, high elevation lakes, and perennial and seasonal streams. Every year, thousands enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing here. One great thing about our public lands is that so many of them are free to access and enjoy. You don’t have to be rich in money to go there and enjoy them. On this day, we hiked the area then saw all of these big horn sheep on our way out.

Day 20 of 365 – America’s Shared Wild Places 8/10/26
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
This is the park that I most want to load up my horses and go back to explore. Grand Teton National Park is a 310,000-acre park in northwestern Wyoming, just 10 miles south of Yellowstone. It features the 40-mile-long jagged Teton Range, the winding Snake River, and abundant wildlife like moose, bears, and elk. Apparently people see moose all of the time but I think I’m moose jinxed – I never see them. Sigh. Poor me. Guess I’d better go back though just to be sure.
