1. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Bryce Canyon Nation­al Park is locat­ed in south­ern Utah. Here you can encounter miles of breath­tak­ing scenery and majes­tic rock for­ma­tions — Hoodoo. They were cre­at­ed many years ago under the influ­ence of the forces of water and wind ero­sion, so the sed­i­men­ta­ry rocks take on unusu­al shapes, such as pil­lars, arch­es, etc. Amaz­ing Hoodoo shapes are accom­pa­nied by a beau­ti­ful com­bi­na­tion of col­ors. From pale yel­low to orange and red­dish, the hues of these majes­tic rock for­ma­tions pro­vide tru­ly breath­tak­ing and inspir­ing views. This is one of the most inter­est­ing attrac­tions in the Unit­ed States, rec­om­mend­ed for vis­it­ing. The best time to vis­it the park is dur­ing the win­ter because the air is refresh­ing and vis­i­bil­i­ty is at its best, espe­cial­ly when every­thing is bathed in the gold­en glow of sun­set.

In south­ern Alas­ka, you may encounter the high­est peak in the US and on the con­ti­nent in gen­er­al. Its name is Mount McKin­ley (20,320 ft.) and it is the main attrac­tion in Denali Nation­al Park and Pre­serve.
