CITY OF REFUGE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK PROJECT. Authorized for addition to the National Park System, the City of Refuge on Hawaii's Kona Coast is a Hawaiian holy place or heiau established prior to 1700. In it the aged, the oppressed, the criminal and the political or military fugitive could find sanctuary. The walled outer enclosure is shown here; also the ancient depository of the kings of Hawaii on the right. (Photograph by Dick Burns.)

VIRGIN ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK, St. John Island. This national park ultimately will include approximately two-thirds of St. John Island, the smallest of the three "American Virgins"—about the size of Bermuda. Set in the colorful and protected channels of the Virgin Islands Archipelago, the scenery of St. John is superb, including tropical forests, mountains, white sand beaches, and turquoise waters. It is distinctly different from any other national park. Columbus probably was the first white man to see St. John Island, in 1493. Most of the land for the park has been donated by Laurance S. Rockefeller, who early recognized its remarkable qualities for national parkhood. (Photograph by Fritz Henle.)
