When most people hear that someone is traveling somewhere, most people immediately think that that person is traveling out of the country. To a tropical island or to a major city in some other country. I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to leave the country to travel somewhere amazing. There are so many amazing places in the United States that some people have never heard of. Here is a list of 3 amazingly beautiful places in the US that should be at the top of your traveling bucket list.
Our first destination idea is Antelope Canyon. Antelope Canyon is located on a piece of Navajo (a local Native American tribe) land in Arizona. The Canyon is split into two parts: The upper and the lower Canyon. I went there with my family last summer and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. We walked through the lower canyon which is about 1,335 feet below sea level. The walls of the canyon have been carved out and smoothed out by wind and water which is absolutely incredible to me. The fact that nature could make such an out-of-this-world landform is breathtaking.
Our second destination is the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I truly believe that everyone should experience this amazing national landmark at some point in their lives. No words do this place justice but i’ll do my best. The Grand Canyon was formed by millions of years of water breaking down the rocks until it has become the beautiful, massive canyon it is today. The Grand Canyon is about 1,902 square miles of beautiful red rock and Colorado river. They have hundreds of hiking trails and even horseback riding trails that go all the way down to the valley of a part of the canyon. It also contains three viewpoints where you can just sit on the massive back porch of one of the lodges and just enjoy the view.
Our last destination on the list is Devil’s tower in Wyoming. Devils Tower is about 1,267 feet tall If you’ve ever seen the movie First Encounters of the Second Kind then you know what significance this land formation has. For those who haven’t, in that movie the main characters are trying to communicate with and find aliens on Devil’s Tower where the military set up a secret base to communicate with the aliens. It’s strange texture is what totally freaks people out. When I travelled there with my family, we found that at the base of the Tower there are giant boulders that had fallen from the tower. We ended up climbing up those boulders as far as we could go. It was a really amazing experience.
This earth is full of so amazing sights and formations that it’s hard to decide what to see first. My last suggestion to you, my readers, is to make a travel bucket list. Just take a piece of paper and write down all the places you want to see before you die. When you are making this list, I hope my list has shown you one important thing; you don’t have to travel out of the country to find a beautiful destination.
