This unusual skull comes from a relative of Triceratops named Kosmoceratops richardsoni. This rhino-size ceratopsian dinosaur lived on the late Cretaceous landmass of Laramidia, which is today the western part of North America. Kosmoceratops means “ornamented horned face,” and the species has 15 horns and frills on its skull, which were likely used to attract mates or battle rivals rather than defend against predators.

Bristlecone pines like this one in California are among the oldest living trees. Convinced their rings could reveal the earth’s climate history, dendrologist Edmund Schulman spent summers hunting them. In 1953, he found his patriarch in California’s White Mountains—Methusalah, a bristlecone with 4,676 rings, then, the world’s oldest. In 1964, Donald Currey, a graduate student, found bristlecones in Nevada that rivaled Shulman’s. In coring a specimen to determine its age, the drill bit broke. Currey convinced the Forest Service to cut the tree for study. Its rings numbered 4,844. The oldest tree discovered until that time had been inadvertently cut down. Methuselah still stands; its location remains a secret.

The snaking ravine carved by the New River’s white water is a gravity-defying playground for rock climbers. More than 1,400 established climbing routes are located within the New River Gorge National River park, which protects 53 miles of river and some 70,000 acres. Cliffs range from 30 to 120 feet high, and most routes require advanced to expert technique. For daredevil thrills without the skills, snag a coveted spot (space is limited) on October’s annual New River Gorge Bridge Day High Line, which sends brave souls on a 700-foot-long ride over the gorge, 2,200 feet up. (Plan the ultimate West Virginia adventure.)

A feathery mélange of cables and curves, the Wisconsin attraction holds more than 30,000 creations and combines decades of work by architects Eero Saarinen, David Kahler, and Santiago Calatrava (the Spanish-Swiss designer of the World Trade Center’s Oculus). A 217-foot wingspan brise soleil clasps and unfolds twice a day to deflect sun above the building’s grand reception hall, pedestrian suspension bridge, and Lake Michigan. Ample green spaces skirt the museum, including Veterans Park to the north and the leaping fountains of Cudahy Gardens immediately south.
