Although a picture may be worth a thousand words, nothing is as good as seeing something beautiful in person! America is a gorgeous country, but offering stunning views from coast to coast can make it challenging to pick where to go.
These are some of the most beautiful locations you can visit when you want to take in something beautiful!
If you love gorgeous mountains, fantastic wildlife, and endless rivers: it’s time to make a trip to Yellowstone! This National Park in Wyoming offers a chance to view fleeting gorgeous nature in its natural habitat while supporting the national parks.
Also, learn about the incredible supervolcano that lies dormant just below the ground, and get to know wildlife as it makes a triumphant return to the area.
This city in Santa Clara County, California, is popular because of how gorgeous every single inch of the surrounding wildlife is. Bowled in against the beautiful California hills and mountains, you get to feel like you’re escaping into a small mountain town instead of the home to one of the biggest corporations on Earth, Google.
This tiny town is a popular place to visit and has many people scrambling for Mountain View apartments the moment they land.
This massive lake in south-central Oregon is one of the most beautiful destinations you can go to. Actually a caldera, the inverted top of a dormant volcano, this lake offers gorgeous views year-round.
Indigenous locals witnessed the formation of this lake almost eight thousand years ago, and it’s become a cultural icon ever since. The deep blue color of the water is only made more incredible by how clear and unpolluted it is. This is a must-see for anyone who can make it.
Niagara Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. Visitors can join boat or helicopter tours and take in the gorgeous views of all three falls as they cascade down.
Of course, there’s no best time of year to see it, but if you’re coming, try to catch one of the sunrise or sunset times, when the sunlight catches perfectly off of the waters to create rainbows in the mist. This fantastic experience can’t be translated perfectly into photos or videos, and everyone should enjoy it.
Another heavy hitter regarding views in America: The Grand Canyon may be America’s most famous natural landform. This massive canyon is one of the most studied landscapes in the world and is breathtaking to view. The Colorado River carves out this canyon; this canyon is 277 miles long and has offered up extensive fossil records, geologic features, and archeological history.
This is a must-stop for anyone who wants to be rendered breathless by nature and is fantastic to see year-round. Recently celebrating its 100th anniversary as a national park, the Grand Canyon is a stop everyone should make if they’re touring amazing views in the United States.
