The moments we spend in nature can be the most inspirational. This summer, as many families bask in the summer sun, others are venturing out to explore the greatness of our national parks and natural wonders. From the hilly forests that blanket the Shenandoah Valley, to the tremendous eruptions of Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park, our viewers have seen it all. Take a look at some of the amazing sights our intrepid TODAY's Life Illustrated adventurers have captured on film.
