Best Top 8 Places To Visit In USA


USA has many beautiful places to visit however, I have mentioned few of them in this blog

Gates of the Arctic - Alaska - The river winds through the hills Hammond Brooks, in the Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska.

This park is not secret or anything, but it's really hard to get to him. It is in northern Alaska, one of the largest wilderness areas in the world, inside the Arctic Circle. Wild and remote, covering a vast area of ​​39,460 square kilometers, almost like the Netherlands. It is one of the most valuable nature reserves by the Americans, but not a place for casual tourists, as it lacks roads, trails and facilities, and the only recognized center for visitors is on the Dalton Highway, near Coldfoot. The wild rivers, bears released and the towering mountains Brooks know something about survival advise if we cross it thoroughly.

A back of the Grand Canyon -  Utah - Not far from the famous Grand Canyon and so often overlooked, but those who come to this spectacular park are a truly spectacular scenery. Bryce Canyon is 330 miles northeast of Las Vegas, but could not be further from the glittering attractions of the city the game: no neon lights, although the hoodoos of bright red and orange (columns and arches eroded sedimentary soft rock) equally fascinating. His masterpiece is a natural amphitheater 19 miles long, five meters wide and 240 meters deep, with a mass of rock spiers that rise 60 meters above the valley. They come in all colors and forms, from solid spindly towers and formations as totems.

The panoramic itinerary Rim Road Scenic Drive (30 km) runs along the edge of the canyon through the visitor center, shelter, incredible viewpoints (not lost Inspiration Point) and the start of the trails through the park. Ends at Rainbow Point.

Due to the remoteness of the town of Bryce and pristine air, on a clear night can be up to 7,500 brilliant stars, three times the U.S. average.

Shenandoah National Park - Virginia -  One of the roads that cross the landscape Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

This park is quiet and relaxed those places where time seems to stand still and calm has been caught in the trees, but it is also one of the most spectacular national parks in the country. Shenandoah was established in the mid-thirties, in the midst of lush Virginia. Much of his extension was occupied farmland covered by apple, and the rural environment and calm still breathe when driving on Skyline Drive, the main road of 169 kilometers through the center of the park and runs along the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains . And although these seem imposing mountains to lower elevations U.S. are: the top of Hawksbill reaches only 1235 m. Shenandoah is a perfect place to relax, walk through rural trails and outdoor camping meadows and oak woods, and that, in the XXI century, is something worth celebrating.

You can explore the park's trails on horseback, as the farmers of the thirties. From April to November there are also guided tours of one hour. The park is about 120 miles west of Washington and away from the capital worth.

Hawaii Volcanoes - A river of lava from Kilauea Volcano, the most active of Hawaii, explodes after falling to Pacific waters.

This park, with its two active volcanoes attest constant birth of these islands, get stress even among the many natural wonders of Hawaii, and other tourist delights. The Volcanoes National Park is an amazing wonders concentration erupted and occupies the center of the Big Island, formed by five volcanoes connected, but of different ages, including the largest Earth: Mauna Loa summit reaches 4,169 meters above sea level, but under the ocean floor extends five kilometers, so that together is higher than Everest. On the other hand, the young Kinauea is the most active volcano in the world, which has been erupting almost nonstop since 1983. You can see amazing lava deserts, steaming craters, old lava tubes and rainforests. With black sand beaches, ancient lava ridges and pyroclastic flows undiscovered, this national park is a jewel of nature.

The area is pleasant holiday cottages and lodges. For those who can afford a good hotel, nothing like the Halekulani hotel in Waikiki Beach, one of the finest hotels in Hawaii. Rarely nature of luxury is so near.

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado - Houses of the Pueblo Indians in Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado.

The state of Colorado is famous for the Rockies, but the guidebooks often overlook the rich history of Mesa Verde National Park. It is located near Four Corners (where bind Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah) and has an amazing archaeological past to the United States. Wrapped in a veil of mystery, the Mesa Verde National Park is a fascinating (and somewhat scary) to go, to their homes in the rocky walls and verdant valleys. Here vanished civilization of the Pueblo Indians in 1300 AD, the complex culture of the cliff-dwellers or inhabitants of the rocky walls. Indeed, the main attraction is the impressive houses on the cliffs of these tribes, the thirteenth century, which have up to four storeys high. You can visit some, and the experience of walking through narrow passageways and stairs is unique.

The Step House and Spruce Tree House can be visited on your own, for others you have to book in the Far View Visitor Center. Worth booking a day or more to follow the ranger guided tours to Cliff Palace and Balcony House, explore the Wetherill Mesa or participate in a camp.

There are many caves, which are, in themselves, a national park, but near Hot Springs, South Dakota, is the National Park Wind Cave. System currently is the fourth longest cave with the world, with over 200 miles of explored passageways, but is legendary for its characteristics calcite formations called lattice and, above all, by the force of air currents (up to 100 km / h) therein. Guided tours venture into the network, challenging his strength. You can camp at nearby Elk Mt, where they begin mixed grass prairie and ponderosa pine forests, including native bison and elk live.

National Park Crater Lake, Oregon - Trail along Lake Crater, Nature Park Oregon State

The great American lakes are world famous, but hardly anyone knows that the United States has the ninth world's deepest lake. Crater Lake, the deepest in the country with 594 meters, occupies an extinct caldera located in the heart of the National Park Crater Lake in Oregon distant, almost in the Pacific. Its calm deep blue waters reflecting the surrounding cliffs like a giant mirror. The secret lies in the purity of the water, as there are no rivers or streams that feed the lake: comes entirely from rain and snowmelt. We should not miss the lunar landscapes of pumice and ash, and the Gothic spiers created by erosion in the old areas of rash. To stretch your legs, you can walk the path of the Pacific Crest, from 4,260 miles away, a short walk from Mexico to the Canadian border that goes around.

To see the lake there is a 53-kilometer route around it (open from June to mid-October). Another option is to travel by boat from Cleetwood Cove (July to September, weather permitting).

Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida - Aerial view of Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida.

The Florida Everglades attract over one million visitors a year, but if you are looking for something different and less crowded, you have to head to the southern tip of Key West, to the sea, to find this disturbing mix of marine life and military history. It is the most inaccessible national park in the U.S., since only be reached by boat or plane, but the effort is compensated with wonderful places to snorkel (tube or bottle), bird watching and observe the firmament. Ponce de Leon, who visited exactly 500 years ago this area, named it Las Tortugas, for the abundance of this species. The lack of fresh water made the sailors bring added dry (dry).
You can visit the unfinished Fort Jefferson in the Civil War, about 110 kilometers from the coast, a massive fortress that emerges from the turquoise waters of Garden Key, on the Gulf of Mexico. Or know pirate stories through the many wrecks that lie beneath the waters of these seven islands called the Dry Tortugas coral reef, home to well over 300 species of birds, including the common buzzard, the masked booby and the magnificent frigate-bird. A unique combination that is worth the trip.
