* ROAN MOUNTAIN for the Sierra Club
If Thomas Jefferson had hiked amidst the orange flame azaleas and fiery purple rhododendron near Roan Mountain on the TN/NC border, he would have declared that area -- and not Harpers Ferry -- "Jefferson Rock, a view worth crossing the Atlantic Ocean." Okay, maybe that's a bit of hyperbole -- but no more than flower-loving Jefferson himself might have uttered. So come along with us to trek the Appalachian Trail's famous balds and gawk at a huge natural Rhododendron garden nearby that could melt a photographer's heart.

* FLYING SQUIRRELS AND SPIES? for the Sierra Club
What do flying squirrels and spies have in common? Both hung out at Arlington's Long Branch Nature Center. The spies -- convicted FBI traitor Robert Hanssen and his Russian pals who reportedly used the park as a dead drop -- are long gone, but the little southern flying squirrels who watched their clandestine maneuvers still hang out. Come watch these cute critters as they soar down from the treetops to lap up peanut butter and pose for your camera. Before we head outside, a park naturalist will teach us about the wide-eyed cuties and we even get to gently touch one! This might be your only chance for a close-up encounter with one of these super-common but seldom-seen furry night gliders.
