The Bering land bridge, the way everyone got here
Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

For thousands of years the sea here was six hundred feet lower and Alaska and Siberia were one grassland, walked by mammoth, steppe bison, and the people whose descendants populated two continents. The preserve protects the American remnant of it: lava flows, hot springs, and a coast where the water came back about eleven thousand years ago and has not left.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
