Hi slw1301,
Here is a list of some of the top places to visit in the US:-
Red Rock Country (Sedona,
Arizona)
This is the place where countless movies and TV shows have been shot.
Whenever Hollywood
has portrayed the distinctive splendor of the West, it has gone to Sedona. 1923
saw The Call of the Canyon. After that, Sedona has never looked back. The
canyons around the place, the spectacular sandstone towers and the buttes endow
the area with a ruggedness that has become a Western characteristic. It is also
one of those places that become a part of what constitutes our national identity.
Night-time View from Mt. Washington in Pittsburgh
This is another one among the other top places to visit in the US. You may be
surprised at the inclusion of Pittsburgh
in this list – especially at such a high spot but there are reasons for this.
This is the Steel
City and it has its own
aesthetic appeal as well as American aptitude for renewal. On the south side of
the city is Mt. Washington, a steep hill. What you can
see here is the amazing sight of the two rivers – Monongahela and Allegheny
joining to form the great Ohio.
It looks beautiful at night as there are skyscrapers as well as light from
fifteen bridges to see.
The Upper Mississippi River
This may be one of the less celebrated areas of the US but that
does not affect its appeal in any way. If you really want to appreciate the
beauty of this river you need to stray from the beaten path. Check out the
lesser known areas – areas not mentioned by Mark Twain. Go along the Great River Road
alongside the upper reaches through Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. This is one
of the most scenic routes this country has. You’ll go through many hills and
19th century towns.Remember, this one of the most popular and top places to
visit in the US, so don't
forget to go to this place if you are traveling in the US.
Hawaii’s Na Pali Coast
Paradise is what people were probably looking for during the early years of
settlement in America
when they went out towards the Pacific. Hawaii
is certainly a place worth having traveled a great part of the world’s
land-mass for. The beaches, coral reefs, volcanic peaks, etc are certainly the
kind of paradise most people wish to see.
Luxuriant mountains drop about 4000 feet straight into the ocean on the Na
Pali coast along the Kalalau trail. Going further inland brings more sights.
Here you can see the Hanakapi’ai Falls pour into a crystal pool. You’ll also
find many varieties of tropical flowers which provide for a colorful visual
impact. This is not an easy place to return home from.
Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco
The Golden Gate Bridge is more than just a bridge between San Francisco and Marin County.
It has two 750 foot high towers that seem to disappear into the sky, cables
that are stretched like strings on a harp and a unique orange paint job – there
are few man-made sights that can compare.
So, plan a luxurious vacation and enjoy the above top places to visit in the
US.
