Spilling Thought: Today, President Obama announced three new #nationalmonuments, including the gorgeous #BrownsCanyon National Monument pictured here. Located in #Colorado, Browns Canyon will protect a stunning section of Colorado’s upper Arkansas River Valley, which features rugged granite cliffs, colorful rock outcroppings and mountain vistas that are home to a diversity of plants and wildlife. It is also one of the most popular whitewater desinations in the U.S. The other new national monuments are #Pullman National Monument in #Illinois -- a location iconic for its history of labor unrest and civil rights advances -- and #Honouliuli National Monument in #Hawaii -- the site of an internment camp where Japanese American citizens, resident immigrants and prisoners of war were held captive during World War II. Since taking office, President Obama has protected more than 260 million acres of public lands and waters -- more than any other President -- helping to ensure that our public lands preserve all of America’s history. #FindYourPark Photo by Bob Wick, @mypubliclands. by usinterior
