When vacationers plan trips to Wyoming, the western half of the state, with its grizzly bears, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park, tends to be the biggest draw. But Eastern Wyoming home to bone wars, outlaw hideouts and the nation’s first national monument also boasts a captivating mix of Wild West history and geologic marvels.
Hundreds of thousands of emigrants made their way from Independence, Mo., to Oregon City, Ore., just outside of Portland, along the Oregon Trail, which ran through southeastern Wyoming. In many parts of Eastern Wyoming, the landscape is largely unchanged since those days. A driving loop around this part of the state, from Cheyenne through Casper, up to Devils Tower and then back south through Thunder ....

Lying at the crossroads of Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, the Republic of Croatia could be called a “land of limestone.” Whether you choose to circumnavigate the fortified walls of one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities, lounge on a white cobble beach by the azure Adriatic Sea, or hike past aquamarine pools and countless waterfalls in the country’s largest national park, Croatia’s nearly ubiquitous limestone bedrock produces a majestic and unforgettable landscape.
Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite, itself built from ions of calcium and carbonate. Limestone and dolomite, limestone’s magnesium-rich cousin, comprise the dominant bedrock throughout the Balkan Peninsula. An important characteristic of limestone is that it is easily dissolved along fractures and bedding planes by the natural acidity of rain and groundwater, which gradually enl ....

On Oct. 10, 1913, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson pressed a button in his Washington, D.C., office. At that moment, more than 6,400 kilometers away, about seven metric tons of dynamite exploded, clearing the final obstruction in the Panama Canal. Deep within the Culebra Cut, waters from the Atlantic Ocean finally met waters from the Pacific Ocean, marking the end of major construction on the 77-kilometer-long canal.
Breaching the Isthmus of Panama a strip of land only a few tens of kilometers wide linking North and South America would save ships from having to sail around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America, thousands of kilometers out of the way. It was an achievement four centuries in the making. ....
