Frank Church River Of No Return latest in America the Beautiful quarters programme

The release celebrates a vista that covers more than 2 million acres and includes mountains, canyons, and whitewater rivers.

Designated a national site in 1980, the River of No Return Wilderness was later renamed in honour of the late U.S. Senator Frank Church, who played a leading role in its establishment as a protected wilderness.
