5. Turnip Rock
Turnip Rock is situated in Michigan. To be more exact, it’s just off the shore of Lake Huron. This island or rock, whatever you like to call it, is the result of thousands of years of erosions caused by storm waves.
We’re not going to lie, its uniqueness is beautiful even though it’s a result of natural destruction. You can only reach this point by boat or kayaking, but the view is totally worth the effort. While you’re at it make sure you catch the sun going down for an absolutely astonishing view.
We highly recommend going there kayaking and enjoying the landscape and the quiet which surrounds the area, it’ll do wonders for your mental health and relaxation.
6. Split Rock Lighthouse
The Split Rock Lighthouse is smaller than the average lighthouses across the U.S., But it’s also considered one of the most picturesque lighthouses in the country. It’s right above Lake Superior, in Minnesota.
It was built back in 1910 in response to the tremendous loss of ships during the Mataafa Storm, where almost 30 ships were damaged or got lost. You can easily visit the interior of this historic building.
Outside the lighthouse, you can admire the whole view of Lake Superior. The ideal time to visit would be during the spring when the weather is nice and so are the sunsets.
7. Yellowstone National Park
Wyoming is the best place you can go if you’re looking for hiking, seeing bison, admiring the perfect mountain landscape, or simply getting lost in the wilderness. But the state’s best asset is Yellowstone National Park.
As seen in the picture above, the park looks like it’s out of this world. There are wild animals walking freely in this park and if you’re in luck, you can even catch a glimpse of this incredible wilderness. It’s also known for its geothermal features, one of the most popular being the Old Faithful geyser.
Yellowstone is the definition of Mother Nature.
Fun fact: Yellowstone was the first national park in the world
8. Chimney Rock National Historic Site
Located in Nebraska, the Chimney Rock National Historic Site is, just like the other locations, is a one of a kind type of place surrounded by nature. The Chimney Rock itself is a geological rock formation rising nearly 300 feet high.
Hikers will be delighted to learn that there’s a trail along the north side of the rock. The site itself was designed in the late ’50s and it’s operated by History Nebraska. In the beginning, the rock was bigger but due to erosion, lightning, and other factors, it was reduced.
Fun fact: There was even a small town once named Chimney Rock that was placed near the base of the rock formation.
9. Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is located in Oklahoma, near Lawton. It’s been protecting important and unique wildlife specimens since the beginning of the 1900s. It’s a quiet and undisturbed place with mixed-grass prairie, which makes it the perfect conservation area.
There are over 240 bird species, 30 species of fish, and over 50 types of mammals. If you’re lucky enough you can see the wild animals living their best and unbothered life. Looking at the photo displayed above, we wish we could’ve lived there as well.
10. Mount Rainier National Park
I believe that having so many parks full of nature is the best asset the U.S. can have. Mount Rainier National Park is located in Washington and it’s a must for all travelers. Hikers will love this place and have the best time of their lives wandering on these magnificent trails.
Taking a trip to this wonderful place will be the best thing for your mind, soul, and body. Just like the rest of the previously mentioned destinations.

Thank you for the beautiful photos, they’re exquisite. You should also include Rocky Mountain Park, Estes, Colorado. I’ve only been once, makes you feel like you’ve entered another world, it was beautiful and if you go to the top of the trail, you’ll see snow capped mountains in the middle of summer.
Beautiful pictures — some of these places I have visited. Seeing the wonderful pictures was almost worth the aggravation of all the commercials!
Well, Yellowstone National Park is my ALL TIME favorite destination in the USA.–even before I saw this article. However, I do think TETON NATIONAL PARK and the “Going to the Sun” highway is pretty spectacular.
