In Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, gone are the shockingly bright pinks, yellows and purples of summer. They've been replaced by deeper and darker reds, yellows, greens and the beginnings of brown. The days are a crisp 34 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius). With daylight slowly diminishing, visitors to this Alaskan wilderness must enjoy the color while they can, because soon a blanket of white will fall upon the landscape.
The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is one of the most remote U.S. national parks. It is a wilderness dotted with hot springs, ancient lava flows and the largest maar lakes (caused by a kind of volcanic eruption) in the world.
This national preserve protects a remnant of the Bering Land Bridge that connected Asia with North America more than 13,000 years ago. The Bering Land Bridge was a pathway for plants, animals and people to cross from old world to new.
