Oregonian here. The reason Oregon's beaches are so spectacular (beside the obvious geologic benefits from Nature) is that all the beaches are unspoiled by private resorts and dwellings, overcrowding down to the shoreline. Years ago, the people of Oregon passed a referendum deeming the beaches public property, unavailable to private buyers and exploitation.

The US is literally the most diverse country in the world. This means cultures, foods, people, accents/languages, towns, cities, landscapes, flora, fauna and climates

At 19:30, in many parts of the U.S., having a bear appear on the street roaming around would be. . .Tuesday.

There is something for everyone. Mountains- beaches- deserts - wide open plains-hot -cold -cities-farms etc. I have been to every state over 40 years. They change so much from season to season.

You're right about not needing a passport. Back before 9/11, not only did you have all those places and more, all it took to get into and out of Canada, Mexico, and most of the Caribbean was a driver's license. We went all over the continent and never needed a passport.

Wyoming native here and I'll share a secret with you. If you're not opposed to wearing a jacket mid April is one of my favorite times to go to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The mountains are usually still blanketed in snow and look absolutely majestic but the lower areas have started their melt and spring green is usually getting developed. It can still have a bit of nip to the air but the added bonus is that the bears are generally all out of hibernation and are much more visible as they are actively hunting/foraging. Just don't give them any reason to come after you and you'll be fine, but watching them fish with snow around is quite remarkable. Plus, the crowds won't be arriving yet and you'll be able to have a more intimate visit to my parks!

I will tell you after living in California my whole life. Everyone has to visit the ancient forest in Big Sur. It is truly a life changer.

There are 2 different species of giant redwoods in California. The coastal redwoods, which were shown, and the giant sequoias which are more inland near Yosmite. The coastal redwoods are taller but the sequoias are bigger. I personally think the sequoias are better. If I could only see one it wold be the sequoias.

I remember on your other channel you had mentioned several times that you didn't think you'd ever get Kat in a video. I don't know why she was so hesitant. She's extremely well spoken and has very insightful comments throughout every video she's in 😊❤

Awesome vid but it leaves out the American Midwest. You should do a react to all the great camping, fishing and water sports around the Great Lakes region. They are America's "Interior Oceans" and one of its best kept secrets with dozens of national forests. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan in particular is stunning. A great road trip full of fun and mystery (and Bigfoot and the Michigan Dogmen)! 😄

I'm with you Jono. I have been to New York City when I was in the Coast Guard and I would never want to go there. I have even driven a semi truck through there several times and that just reinforced my negative opinion. There is so much natural beauty, why would anyone waste t time in a city?

He didn't mention the Smoky Mountain Park in TN and NC. It's our favorite place to go!

Hello from Oregon! They represented us fairly well in this video... but didn't include Crater Lake National Park.

There are people I know that are astonished when I say I have no desire to travel the world. There is so much to see in the USA.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is mind boggling. You see it in movies and to tell the truth when you’re actually there it is so spectacular and enormous that it still feels like you’re looking at a photograph. Magnificent.

I feel you! As I have stated before, you should consider Isle Royale, Mackinac Island and, Tahquamenon Falls. The M-22 Lake Michigan Coastal Tour, Grand Haven, Holland, South Haven, St. Joseph, Muskegon, Silver Lake Sand Dunes and Saugatuck. Nature is the greatest creation. These are all located within Michigan ✋️

I grew up in Utah and I've been to all the National Parks here. I really recommend going to the National Parks and have a week in each place to enjoy the views and trails.

I am convinced you guys would definitely enjoy the Pacific Northwest 😊

The upper Mississippi River is beautiful from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. Lake Superior is a ghost of a sea that is like another world.

I've traveled to most every part of the U.S. There is beauty to behold in every area. Enjoy you visit here, wherever you go.

So many overwhelmingly beautiful places are in America, you could literally skip all the popular spots and find just as beautiful scenery without added costs or crowds.

Something he did not mention in southern Utah is the meant national parks. Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion. They all have something to offer and are well worth your time. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. Arizona has a couple good options as well. The Grand Canyon of course, and The Wave rock formation located in Coyote Buttes. And Antelope Canyon is absolutely stunning.

He missed Glacier National Park, in Montana. Where you can see glaciers close up. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Plus, it’s just a state above Yellowstone.

Those elephant seals .. They Stink !!! .. Off shore wind is what you need when observing them !!! 😆😂

I live in New York State, and I have no desire to go to New York City. There's too many beautiful places to visit here, Adirondack National Park, Catskills, Letchworth State Park (3 waterfalls in the same river), Niagara Falls of course, ect. The fishing in New York State is some of the best in the world. Between the many rivers and creeks, hundreds of lakes, Lake Erie has more varieties of game fish than the other Great lakes. You can charter a boat guide to take your family out! 🎣 And don't forget to try the Beef on Weck and Buffalo wings 😄🍻

Definitely visit Cannon Beach. I grew up in Washington State and my whole childhood we went to Cannon Beach every year once a year for a week. I’ve lived in Washington, Oregon, and California and the whole west coast is stunning. I’ve traveled to most areas of the US, several latin countries and the Caribbean. Also visited The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, and The UK. The only vistas that I have seen that match the West coast USA is Alaska, the northern cascades in Canada (which are both extensions of the west coast) and the Alps in Austria.

I cannot express the true beauty of the Redwood Forests of Northern California. I've been to a lot of places in my life, and Jedediah Smith park is my favorite. I went in September 2023, and I cannot stop thinking about it.

Appreciate the love from Maryland friends

5:44 Fun Fact - If you’ve seen Star Wars Return of the Jedi, this might look a little familiar. The forest scenes when they were on Endor were shot here.

Thank you for the kind words. This is why we watch your channel. Stay blessed and continue to be great.

I live about 20 minutes from the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Horrible! Those poor men who were on the bridge working. They still haven't' recovered all of them.

Getting tears in my eyes watching this. I love this place. USA. Thank you!

You guys should TOTTALLYYYY watch "Goonies" with your kids, all will enjoy! Just watch out for the "Bobbie Traps"

My family explored Yellowstone for 3 days, driving for about 12 hours each day. We saw almost half of Yellowstone Park. It’s massive!

You can see Half Dome flying N-S in California. Also if you drive from Lake Tahoe going to Yosemite don’t take Highway 50 or Interstate 80 but rather take one of the minor routes like 108 or 120. Hwy 120 goes to Yosemite but 108 (one of my favorite drives ever) is additional beauty you get see because 120 comes up the backside of Yosemite. 2 things that change your route is snow and fire. Be careful with fire it can all of a sudden be there without much warning

The lighthouse they showed in the Oregon section is Heceta Head Lighthouse in Florence, Oregon. I live about fifteen minutes east from that in Mapleton. The Heceta Beach is an easy-access beach too; the parking lot is a stone's toss from the beach itself.

My sons had friends working concessions at Yellowstone. Some of them got drunk and mistakenly jumped into a thermal pool. One died and 2 were critically injured. I live in Utah and it's easy to stay in Utah and visit our national and state parks. Of all the places he showed in Utah...the Salt Flats! That would be close to my last because we have so much more. The houseboats at Lake Powell are a lot of fun. It's nice to have a smaller boat too so you can explore some of the smaller routes. You can find some Native American homes in the caves. Very cool to see!

Went to Yosemite less than 2 yrs ago. You can't really perceive the size until you're there. From the gatehouses to the valley is about 1.5 hour drive. Parking, lodging and amenities in the valley are limited & pricey. Visitor demand means you need to reserve admittance "reservation" via an online account during peak season. Best time is May or even early June. Then Fall is also very popular. I recommend research!

Greetings! I live in the Yosemite National Park area of California. I love it, and was born here 70 years ago. It’s very interesting because you never know what kind of critters you run into. You have to drive slow here, because they have the right of way. I’ve had to stop for mountain lions, wolves, deer.. and one time a brown bear. If you ever come here, I know you’ll never want to leave! Love Grandma Debbie

The pacific coast highway is a amazing drive

That quick shot of the Little Sur river lagoon between the McWay Falls and the elephant seals is where I caught my first steelhead trout back about 1971. We used to fish in the Big Sur area all the time and back. Then you could still go down there and fish when the river was open to the sea. Back then I think the waterfall was called Pfeiffer Falls. The beach sand underneath it sometimes turns purple from Eroded garnets.

Houseboat vacation at Lake Powell is amazing and I would definitely recommend! I spent a few weeks there as a kid, swimming, fishing, hiking, old Native American ruins, canyons....unforgettable.

Ya'll would probably love Upper Michigan. We're 4.5 hours away from any city. If you love winter and snow, it's the place to be in the winter. Summers are generally mild. Lots of sports fishing, canoeing, camping, hunting lots of outdoor activities.

You need to do that drive down the 101. Do not fear traffic. I have done the drive all the way to San Diego multiple times. I recommend you do the drive that he shows - Lake Tahoe and down to Big Sur.

I've camped with my family in the Redwoods - it is breathtaking! We do not chop down Redwoods ... we protect them! Oregon is beautiful...(probably remind you weather wise of London, it's a bit rainy) - my parent's were married in Oregon! Absolutely beautiful State! The coastline from Washington State, down through Oregon and Northern California has the most beautiful coastlines! My sister and I are heading to Vermont in October 1) to see the beautiful leaves 2) we are going to historical places and EAT LOTS OF SEAFOOD! Can't wait!

I realize you can't cover everything worth seeing, but in Oregon and Washington it would be a crime to miss the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland, the volcanic peaks in the Oregon and Washington Cascade Mountains (Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt Adams, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker), the Olympic Mountains and Rain Forest in NW Washington on the Olympic Peninsula, and then finally the North Cascades in Washington, often called the North American Alps.

Yellowstone Park is EXTREMELY strict about leaving the marked trails and boardwalks. Most of the springs are extremely hot and highly acidic - therefore VERY dangerous. There have been quite a few fatal incidents over the years. There are safe commercial hot springs OUTSIDE the park.

Near Zion National Park is Bryce Canyon National Park. It is less crowded than Zion, and visually stunning. Great hiking as well.

Check out Carlsbad Caverns in south-eastern New Mexico. One room the Big Room has over 14 acres of floor space with ceilings over 300 feet above.

I am shocked he didn't mention the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina - some of the most beautiful mountains in America! And the people are friendly, and you will find the best of southern hospitality and cooking!

My most awe inspiring visit was to Yosemite Valley....it's so beautiful it doesn't seem real!

North Ave Beach and Oak St Beach in Chicago in the summer are world-class destinations.

The redwood trees served as the setting for Endor in Star Wars ep 6.

I live in New Jersey and we get black bears wandering into local towns. They don’t declare an emergency, they just get the police and the Fish and Wildlife people to tranquilize it and take it back out into the woods.

You'll love the California coastal Redwoods, stayed up there with an uncle who lived in Crescent City, California ❤❤

The US has so much to offer. I'm from NYC, but now I live 15 minutes from Boston. The US has so many amazing places to see and enjoy. I have been fortunate to visit Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Grand Cayon, Arcadia National Park in Maine. In 2021, we did the house boat on Lake Powell on the Utah side. All have been beautiful and amazing experiences. Still have a few more I would like to explore. Hope some day you and your family can come and visit us!!!

I believe those hot springs killed several people working in the park to assist others. If I remember correctly a small group of guides decided to take a short cut later at night and came across a small spring they thought they could jump across but some fell in and the heat boiled off their skin.

5:37 this is where planet Endor was filmed for The Return of the Jedi. All the Ewoks, all the speeder bike chases, Those were shot here.

Even with all of these there are so many more national parks that aren’t included on this list not to mention that each state has special designations that usually only locals know about and one can’t forget about things such as jazz in New Orleans or country music in Nashville or hit Beale street in Memphis for some blues music and for a bit of soul music you could hit Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia or St. Louis and for rock and roll ya might want to hit Portland, Oregon- Los Angeles- Austin, Texas - Seattle,Washington- SanDiego, California and southern rock came from states in the south like Tennessee Georgia Florida Texas etc. Now all of these are up for debate but I think I’ve gotten close

The only way we could afford to travel to all the National Parks and experience nature at it's finest with 4 kids and 2 adults was; we had mini van, took along tents, a camp stove, folding table, ice chest to hold food, skillet, pots, paper plates, food, sleeping bags, and pillows. Of course we had our clothes and lots of cameras. Because of unforeseen problems with 2 of the kids, my hub opted to rent a second mini van. Because of camping, we saved a fortune on motel, and we had the food we wanted and cooked it, we saved another fortune on restaurants. We did eat out at restaurants on several occasions to give me a break from cooking & cleaning. But we really saved a lot with being able to set up tents, air mattresses to sleep on, sleeping bags, and usually camping was free or a charge of $5 for one night. There were restrooms nearby for the kids, and water was located throughout the camping areas. As a result in the savings, we were able to go see the following in 2 weeks; Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Yosemite National Park, Red Rock Canyon, Bryce Canyon, The Arches, The Coral Sand Dunes, North Rim Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, South Rim Grand Canyon, Walnut Canyon (Indian Cliff Dwellings outside Flagstaff), Jerome (historical mining town in Arizona), and then home. We had an AWESOME TIME!! And we weren't broke when we got home. We prefer camping so we could have more family one-on-one time together. We both worked, so it was very important for us to be with our kids and make special memories with them.

I saw a European woman on a video say Americans aren't well traveled. She was corrected by a European male who now is here in the US. He let her know the size of America means we can live a lifetime and take a vacation 1 time a year somewhere different every year. We wouldn't have to see the same place twice.

If you’re into the outdoors the west is where to go anywhere from Colorado west really. You could do a road trip and hit a few of these on the Pacific Coast Highway. You can start in Seattle, then hit Olympic national park, cannon beach, the redwood forest, big sur, LA and San Diego all on that highway and also cut inland to Yosemite, Death Valley etc.

Moab, UT arches national park is another spot I feel should have been added. Delicate arch is a 1.5 mile hike and a really easy one to do. Sitting up there and watching the sun set and the colors change on the arch was amazing. Great park to drive around and see all of the rock formations.

I live in Utah and we are the epicenter of the west. From Utah as a base camp, every other state is a 1 day drive. New Zealand is the extreme sports capital of the world, Utah is the extreme sports capital of America and is amazingly family friendly. We have a saying here. "If it happens in Utah, you can tell everybody!"

Thank you for your comment about our bridge here in Baltimore because I am a Marylander and I live in Baltimore.

So much was missed in this video. Lots of waterfalls, caverns. A lot more parks both National & State Parks. I saw little in the central part of the US & very little of the south. Completely ignored the Great Smoky Mountains, New Orleans & other southern cities.

Thank you for inviting us into your home. ☺️ We retired in California’s gold country, the Sierra foothills. If you want a small town, historic, low density experience that offers outdoor activities mixed with live music & much more, consider Nevada City, California, two hours east of San Francisco.

If you are planning to go to Yosemite check to see if you need a reservation to go in. This park is massively popular and very close to Los Angelous. They are trying to keep it from being Loved to Death from car exhaust and tie ups to waste disposal and incredible crowding.

I'm glad you have an open mind. Everyone on here is always going to Texas. I was born in New York, went to school in California, & now in Chicago. Northern states have a lot of beauty and activities. Don't get stuck with limiting yourself to southern states.

We have driven from Michigan to California, Florida and to New York state. There is so much to see in each state on the way, like the Finger Lake Region in New York or the ghost town in Wyoming. My husband and his brother climbed up the Grand Tetons when they were younger and he and I have been rock climbing in West Virginia and the scenery in West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina is fantastic. We have also driven to Ontario, Canada to hike the Bruce Trail which runs from Niagara Falls north two hundred miles through all sorts of terrain, to the Bruce Peninsula. We didn't do the whole trip, but they have sectioned it out in more easily manageable treks.

My family and I did the Kauai helicopter tour and it was fascinating.

Traveling outside the US is totally different, the history, museums, Architectures. Cannot compare. I love visiting Europe.

I have lived in Anchorage Alaska for over 29 years n living close to the beautiful mountain range. From Anchorage to Mount McKinley ( which they recently renamed it back to the original name Denali) is 280 miles n on a clear day can be seen. The wildlife moose, many bears, eagles. whales. many species of fish n so much more. Earthquakes are common. The mainland is 50 miles from Russia n only afew miles from a small US island between. Thank God we have many Military Bases that keep watch. Keep the videos coming. Jono prayers for you❤❤❤❤❤

This video is better than most of these type of videos, imho. So many spots that never make it into other videos that should. One of my favorites is the Bonneville Salt Flats. Otherworldly. And, New England often gets left out. Stunningly beautiful & historic. The others are all deserving also. Traveling abroad is wonderful if you can afford it or have the vacation time. Many Americans can't & don't. Hence the reason that more don't have passports. In lieu of traveling internationally we travel within our own borders. Our money goes further if international flights aren't necessary. There is so much to see that it can't be seen in one lifetime. As you can see, in many states you would need numerous trips to see the entirety of one state. California is one example. The few spots in the video are just a small fraction of the magnificent beauty of the state. There are also sand dunes in different areas of the state, along with the Mohave Desert, ie: Death Valley & The Giant Rock (the biggest freestanding rock in the world. There's Mt Whitney, the highest mountain peak in the contiguous U.S., Sequoia National Park, Joshua Tree, Bumpass Hell Lassen Volcanic National Park/Geysers, etc. Sturtevant Falls in Angeles National Forest, Lava Beds National Monument, Rainbow Falls, Big Bear, Arrowhead, Squaw Valley & Mammoth Ski Resorts, Mt Shasta, Bowling Ball Beach, Glory Hole, Burney Falls, Napa Valley (wine country), Catalina Island. So many more mountain ranges, forest, rivers, etc. And, these are just another fraction of sights to see. People come to California & hit L.A. & San Francisco and actually think they have seen CA. When in fact they have seen a "tiny" fraction of the state.

The thing about New York is that it’s got five boroughs Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Each is like a totally different city, they kinda are;) However, being a St Louis Missourian I of course suggest you visit St. Louis. Great music venues, the World Famous St. Louis Zoo, the world famous St Louis symphony orchestra, the world famous St. Louis Art Museum, and dozens of other museums, and. 90 minute drive south west of St. Louis you have your choice of a half dozen rivers to float. It’s 4+ hours away, but we have the world famous city of Branson, water parks, and music venues of every style of music. If your into fishing we have an innumerable number of great fishing lakes and rivers!!

I've spent years in helos, they're OK, you will be just fine.

My family and I vacation as often as possible in the Del Norte Coast Redwoods at Jedediah Smith State Park. Stout Grove is where the oldest growth trees are 3000 to 5000 years old. It is so serene it almost doesn't feel real. It is where parts of the Star Wars movie was filmed. We enjoy doing float trips down the Smith River in rafts and small individual rubber boats, and fishing for steelhead trout.

BUY a National Park Annual pass, this pass will get you into ALL the parks. It will pay for itslef just by visiting a few parks. If you dont get this pass you will pay each time at every park. Look online to see the park prices, this will save you so much money and time. Dont over look The Great Smoky mountains in Tennessee. Dollywood and Gatlinburg Tn. Then hop over to Nashville or as we call it here Music Ciry. Home of The Ryman Auditorium and the Grand ol Opry.

I’ve been to Lake Tahoe it is something else absolutely beautiful. Plus the casinos lol we drove through Yosemite it was also beautiful.

I love to ride my Harley Davidson to scenic roads in Oklahoma, and Arkansas... I've also visited friends in southern Texas and rode to the Gulf of Mexico... I usually just go on 3 day rides, but may plan some longer rides in the future... So many small towns on the old highways, forests, mountains, deserts... So much to see in this Great Country...

Houseboats are great for vacations but be careful how much you travel in the lakes. You’re not going to like the fuel bill when you return. Have a small boat or something else if you want to fish as well.

Cheers 🍻from America's History cradle Boston. Come here and learn about America's start.

He made a great video.. no bs just showing you and telling you in the nicest way.. direct to the point as well

Havasu Falls, near Supai, AZ: Big miss. Supai: Most remote village in U.S. lower 48. Great list.

Vermont is my home. Autumn is my favorite time of year. It is beautiful here for about 4 weeks a year.

Coming from Indiana, there's one that you could try en route to Chicago, called Indiana Dunes. It's basically a park made from sand dunes, and it's considered a state park inside a national park. It's more wide than tall, but you can still get a lot out of it. It gives you a great view of Chicago from certain vantage point, and you're basically right on Lake Michigan at certain parts.

I don't know as a Floridian the Keys are great and all but I think my favorite place in the state is Crystal River, I mean the water there is just this like almost neon blue color and it almost looks like your looking through a piece of stained glass, plus there's a lot of manatees there and I just adore all those water potatoes they are so chill to hang out with. I think a close second and much nearer to the Keys is Fort Jefferson, I mean its just a huge 19th century fort built on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean which is impressive in its own right, but ya add the historical significance to it which makes it all the better.

So make the trip to America and see the sights for yourself! I have been in every state at least once and I can honestly say there is A LOT to see! It is most definitely worth the trip!

You can definitely see why many of us are not well traveled outside the US. You're right, there's really no need to travel anywhere because we have everything here. Especially when you consider places such as Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and the US Virgin Islands. We truly have it all.

The redwood trees’ bark is so thick that they are fireproof. That’s why they live so long.

I feel blessed to have visited most of these locations. The video touches upon each one, but each has much more to offer than what was shown here. Lake Tahoe is an ancient volcano crater, and gets deeper each year. In addition to giant sequoias (up to 325ft tall, and 3,300 years old) and redwoods (up to 350ft tall, and 2,000 years old), California also has the oldest trees, Bristlecone pines (up to 60ft tall, and 5,000 years old). Yellowstone geysers also contain harsh minerals and chemicals. Between the super heated water, minerals, and chemicals animals and people quickly die and dissolve. On Maui, Hawaii is the Iao Valley, home of the Iao Needle and supposedly one of the wettest places on earth. Death Valley National Park is also a wonder to see, as the lowest place in America, and hottest place on earth. Currently the lowest point, Badwater Basin, has water in it from recent storms. It's nicknamed Lake Manly after the ancient lake that once existed in this part of the arid Mojave desert.

I've been to the Florida Keys and I actually cried when I saw it! You can't go wrong visiting there!

We're still awaiting your arrival.

Going to New York City would be what my uncle used to call a trophy event. A once in a lifetime experience that everyone needs to have but not for long and not over and over again. Call me a rube but I like the mountains or some place like Kansas where you can see for thirty miles or so with no problem. The last person I read about that wound up in one of the Yellowstone hot springs dissolved. Between the boiling hot water and the toxic chemicals in the water not only do you die but you dissolve. The only thing that they recovered from the guy was one sandal, part of his pants and his wallet. Plus it’s freaky dangerous to go and try to recover anything so if they don’t see stuff on the edge they assume you’re done for and go home.

Even those pictures scare me.. Give me soft beaches and service with a smile. A spa day would be great to. No hiking for me. He didn't touch the midwest.. but the great lakes has a lot to offer, and a lit easier to visit. I'd recommend doing the new England area, and use the public transport to get to Boston, and New York. Then fly to either Texas, or Chicago and rent a car to do a several day travel from both states, but you can't do it all.

I’m located in a beautiful resort area of Pennsylvania. We have black bears all over the place. Last Sumer, I went outside with a cup of coffee and saw my neighbor’s garbage strewn around. Then I saw the black bear. Just another Monday morning trash pickup day.

If you get up around New York and New England, you must take a day and go to Philadelphia PA. Reading Terminal Market is an awesome visit. They have a nice website you can check out to see the stores and where they're located in the terminal. There are also a ton of monuments and museums to visit. Lots of history in Philly.

Great video and really good comments. I can understand why Slovakia wants to protect the alpine lakes from bacteria. Lake Tahoe was one of the world's clearest lakes before it got so popular.

40 min north of Boston here. Our accents are quite related. We follow the same rules with letter R. Our vowels are just different. Boston, New York, and Georgia had the most communication with England when they decided to drop their "R"s so we all do the same. It allign with Australia and South Africa as well.

I hope you remember that even our medium sized states rival the size of the UK. Plan your vacation so you’re not wasting most of it driving, unless you really love driving. The upside is that even at the height of tourist season you can find plenty of spectacular places that have few if any other tourists.
