Some Places in the U.S. You Haven’t Visited But Need To

Although there are millions of people who visit the U.S. every year to chase the American dream, there actually are other beautiful reasons why you should appreciate this country more than you’re doing right now. Being an American, you don’t really believe there is much to see in this country when it comes to natural landmarks and the overall beauty of nature. It’s fair to assume that most American tourists would want to spend their vacation in the historical landmarks of Europe or the tropical beaches of South America and Asia. But you should know that before you complete a trip around the world, there actually are a handful of hidden natural gems in this country that you also must visit.

1 – Mammoth Cave System in Kentucky

Visiting Kentucky means putting in the time to go to the Mammoth Cave National Park, where you get to see the largest known cave system in the world, the Mammoth Cave System. And by largest we mean huge! The passage systems, which accordingly is more than 390 kilometers long, is best known for its labyrinth nature, which in turn allows explorers to discover new routes on an almost daily basis. For the moment, there are several available tours in the cave system, or at least for the known or discovered parts.

2 – The Appalachian Trail

Yes, the Appalachian Trail shouldn’t be called underrated due to its massive popularity among local and foreign tourists, but the fact is only very few people can attest to have successfully made an entire walk in a single trek. Therefore, if you want your Appalachian Trail experience to be the best, then consider the area which covers the Southern Terminus Point in Springer Mountain in Georgia up to Mount Katahdin in Maine, where you will be truly amazed by the natural beauty and views as well as the conveniently located campsites. If you’re successful in conquering the trail, you can then choose to enjoy the rest of Georgia with its natural beauty highlighted by springs, canyons, and gorges. You even can explore the option of renting or buying property away from the pollution and cramping in the city, say like houses and apartments in LaGrange.

3 – Crater Lake

Crater Lake meanwhile has to be on your priority list if you’re aim is to visit places in the U.S. that aren’t as popular as mainstream attractions but are as equally remarkable. The lake is unique because aside from being so huge, it offers crystal clear waters; but more interestingly, it was formed from a dormant volcano. The lake is found in Oregon, a state famous for its clear waters meant for discovery and recreation. But for this particular lake, the distinctiveness lies in the fact that the water is so clear even with no rivers or other bodies of water streaming around it.
