There are so many incredible places on this earth, this time we are traveling to the USA and discovering together some of the Top 10 most beautiful and spectacular places in the United States. But because it is not so easy to get to these places due to various green areas, we have put together photos of the most beautiful spots. Scroll down and embark on a tour of the land of unlimited possibilities. Here are The 10 most beautiful places in the USA.
- Yellowstone Park, Wyoming/Montana/Idaho
A paradise for everyone who loves nature and adventure. In the world’s oldest national park, countless natural spectacles are lined up seamlessly – you have to be here at least once in your life and have seen the geothermal springs, geysers, mud pots and wild animals such as bison, grizzly bears and wolves. Of course, the park also appears on TV – the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series “Yogi Bear” is set in Jellystone National Park.
- The Grand Canyon
Probably the most famous canyon in the world is 450 kilometers long and was carved out of the rock of the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River over four to five million years. The gorge is between six and 30 kilometers wide and up to 1,800 meters deep. Countless viewpoints provide an overview of the spectacular landscape, but hikes in the canyon and boat tours are also highly recommended.
- Yosemite National Park, California
Climbers, adventurers, photographers – Yosemite Valley has something to offer for everyone and must be high on the bucket list.
- Bryce Canyon, Utah
The Grand Canyon may be more famous, but we think Bryce Canyon in Utah is more spectacular. The colored rock pinnacles, called hoodoos, that can be found on the amphitheaters created by erosion are a spectacular example of natural architecture. You should definitely pay this “false canyon” a visit if you are in the area.
- Niagara Falls, New York/Ontario (CAN)
The Niagara River connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario and plunges 57 meters into the depths at Niagara Falls. The upper islands (Luna Island and Goat Island) split the falls into three parts: the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. Despite their fame and impressiveness, the falls were never given UNESCO World Heritage status. With more than 18 million visitors annually, the Niagara Region is one of the most popular tourist attractions in North America. Even in winter, the waterfalls offer an incredible natural spectacle.
- Redwood National Forest, California
In the Redwood National Forest, which is located in northern California close to the border with Oregon, almost 50% of the natural population of coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) – the tallest trees on earth – grows. “Hyperion”, the tallest living specimen with a trunk length of 115.60 meters, is also located here. Coast redwoods can grow to heights of over 110m and reach a trunk diameter of over seven meters – Chris Sharma took this as an opportunity to climb these giants.
- Death Valley, California
Death Valley is located in the Mojave Desert and is considered one of the driest areas on earth. In 1913 the temperature here was 56.7 °C and in 2012 the valley reached the record for “the warmest nighttime minimum temperature” of 41.7 °C. If you end up here, you should see the wandering rocks of Racetrack Playa with your own eyes.
- Antelope Canyon, Arizona
The colors and light of Antelope Canyon on the Navajo Reservation are a photographer’s dream, but be careful, the slot canyons created by recurring flash floods also offer many dangers – as Aron Ralston discovered in Utah in 2003. The hiker’s arm was trapped by a boulder and he only escaped by sawing it off with a simple knife. In the film “127 Hours” James Franco shows how the story unfolded.
- Arches National Park, Utah
Located north of the city of Moab, Arches National Park is home to giant natural stone arches that are constantly being rebuilt through erosion and weathering. There are over 2,000 arches in the park area with an opening of at least 90 cm, with the “Delicate Arch” being the most impressive with a height of almost 20 meters.
- The Wave, Arizona, USA
“The Wave” is a difficult-to-reach sandstone formation in the Coyote Buttes mountain range that was formed by erosion. Not only is the journey there strenuous, but getting permission isn’t exactly easy either, as you’re chosen using a lottery system. If you have the chance, then you should take advantage of it and show your appreciation to this place.
