When people think of traveling, the immediate inclination is to think outside of the country you live in. In America, people dream of traveling to the canals of Italy, or the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand, or any exotic or iconic locale across the Atlantic. Although, in thinking of these wonderful destinations, it’s easy to forget the incredible locations we have right here in the US of A. With the added bonus that airfare is (most likely) cheaper, there’s no currency exchange, and you’re familiar with the customs, traveling within borders is a great alternative to going aborad. You might even find it hard to believe that such fascinating and stunning places exist on this continent. Here are just a few if you’re ever feeling a cross country road trip:
1. Check out Big Sur, California referred to as “America’s Riviera” for Mediterranean esque coastline
2. Great Sand Dunes, Colorado
3. Olympic National Park, Washington
4. Sedona, Arizona
5. Acadia National Park, Maine
6. Cedar Point, Ohio. Home of the world’s best roller coasters!
