The United States is abundant in natural beauty. There are quite literally hundreds, maybe thousands of sites in the U.S. where you can enjoy this outdoor beauty. Some areas are world renowned for not only their landscape but their amazing campsites and features for families with kids of all ages to explore and enjoy. Below are some of the best places to visit in the states.
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park is one national park that is well known but still often forgotten. Yosemite provides some of the most spectacular views in not just the U.S. but the entire world. The stark cliff sides, waterfalls taller than the eyes can see, and dizzyingly high viewpoints will leave anyone with a dropped jaw and a craving to see more.
There are hotels, RV sites, campsites, and glamping sites within the park to suit the needs of any family. There are also hikes and viewpoints that are accessible for everyone, some of the more popular attractions being Glacier Point, Taft Point, Yosemite Falls, Vernal Falls, and Mirror Lake.
Lake Powell
Lake Powell, which stretches through Arizona and Southern Utah, is part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It’s home to many scenic vistas, geographical wonders, and relics of human history. In addition to a wide range of backcountry activities, Lake Powell offers its visitors a unique opportunity for fishing, boating, and other lakefront leisures. There is camping, hiking, houseboats and more available, making it an ideal location for family vacations or outdoor retreats.
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park is another famous park, but a must see! The geysers, waterfalls, and unique landscape of Yellowstone will be a feast for the eyes. With over 3,500 square miles of explorable area, visitors will want to give themselves plenty of time at this park. Planning a trip here can be a little intimidating because of the size, but very worth the work since the park has a little something for everyone! Some of the parks must-see attractions include the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, and Old Faithful.
