Pictures: Six New Natural Landmarks Named

Lake Bill Chinook in central Oregon is now part of The Island, one of six new national natural landmarks designated last week by U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.

"One of the major goals of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative is to develop a conservation ethic for the 21st century," Salazar said in a statement.

"By designating these remarkable sites in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington as national natural landmarks, we help establish and pass down to future generations those awe-inspiring places that make America truly beautiful."

3. "... President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative is to develop a conservation ethic"

As a former Green, I am proud to have voted for this president.

Wow, I haven't taken a real vacation in a decade. Maybe it's time to start planning one.

4. In the mean time...

CA has to close a large percentage of state parks because of lack of funds.
