I live in Massachusetts & my brother moved to Arizona, I decided to road trip to see him. I stopped in North Carolina to see/pick up my nephew who's in the Army. We took 5 days to get to AZ & just stopped at all the wonderful sights. It was a magical trip that was filled with so many memories

Nadine, he definitely spelled Yellowstone wrong 🤣

Also, Yellowstone was so beautiful it inspired Teddy Roosevelt to create the National Park Service to preserve such wonders. He *influenced* a railroad to build a line there and put up a hotel for tourists to promote the park and the program. The National Park Service survives to this day. Thanks, Teddo.

So many states were skipped that have such beautiful places... Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Carolinas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Virginia to name just a few. Almost every state has their own beautiful, unique spots.

Kentucky and Ohio have some really cool cave tours also. 😊

We have the oldest tree on record as well. It’s called Methuselah and it’s over 4,000 years old.

One of the most sneakily amazing things I experienced in the USA was the BWCA in northern Minnesota. Went days without seeing another human; and it was the most incredibly beautiful scenery. We saw moose and bears, heard wolves and loons, saw a million animals and caught all sorts of fresh water fish. So much fun; unspoiled; unmarked nature but was still much more hospitable than other very remote places. Lots of folks still had guides from my understanding because getting lost is very possible.

Nadine said she wants to go to the Salt Flats, so here's a bit of trivia for your trip about it! The scene in "Independence Day" where Will Smith is dragging the Alien across the Salt Flats and talking, then suddenly yells out "And what the Hell is that smell?!" makes people think it's part of his lines and he's talking about the Alien, but in reality it was unscripted! As he was dragging the parachute with the Alien in it, it was digging into the salt and released the rotten smell of the decaying Brine Shrimp in it! The Director knew it would happen but didn't warn Will to see how and if he would react to it, and he obviously did! lol! So, be aware that as you drive/walk across the Bonneville Salt Flats you may come across an odor if you disturb the Salt down to the moist layer! 🤢😂

There are a bazillion scenic places in the US. That's only the beginning! Every state has its own special type of landscape and unique features. Some well-known, some not so well known but just as beautiful and intriguing. Sometimes you find the coolest places and the nicest people on the roads less traveled and away from the cities. I can't wait to see your reactions when you come here and experience our country in person.

I am shocked the badlands of North and South Dakota didn't make the cut. But I know there's so many cool places that don't - I lived in Wisconsin and the coasts along the great lakes there and in Michigan should be seen too. There's just so much beauty here, it's hard to make a concise list.

I left to hitchhike the USA the month after I graduated high school in 1971 and saw a number of the sites. The coast highway by Big Sur is amazing. The diverse terrain hugging the ocean from San Diego to Vancouver, British Columbia is stunning. California is but a day away from any type of terrain you can imagine. The desert and rock formations are magical. Snow capped mountains. I truly saw a great deal of the country and lower Canada. STILL, the highlight of my 70 year life was sitting on a beach on Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan by the Canadian border. Around 8 pm, I saw a shimmering wave of color in the twilight sky. As it became darker the shimmers began brightening in shades of green and yellow. I was mesmerized. When they finally began to dim, I realized it was 3 am. I'd been staring at the night sky for 7 hours yet didn't fell as if it was more than an hour. I could have died right then and felt like I'd been satisfied.

Oregonian here, love your videos. I am excited that your family is going to come to America and see the features, culture, and (hopefully) the hospitality. I have been to every state except 9 and have been to many other countries. I love travelling and wish your family the best during your visit. Safe travels.

Would be nice to see a video of all the beautiful places in New Zealand! Just a suggestion :)

The season you visit is also, in my opinion, important. Late spring or early fall eliminates the hot summers and really cold winters.

As a native Oregonian, I'm of course partial to the Oregon sites. There are so many beautiful spots to stop & enjoy on Interstate 101 (Coast Highway) My favorite is Cape Purgatory. There are hiking trails and steps down to the water area where you can see, and feel, the water come in! So awe inspiring!!! I do agree with Nat, that the Northern Lights should be on everyone's bucket list!!!

The Oregon Coast is also known for their dunes, covered bridges, & lighthouses. And I mentioned in the last video you watched like this that I was surprised they didn't list Lake Tahoe/Sand Harbor, Yosemite, or the Redwoods. So I'm glad to see it listed here bedside they are truely spectacular. My Aunt was an international flight attendant for 50 years and she's been all over the world. She said Tahoe was the most beautiful place she's ever been. Thx for the video!.

So many places did not make his list, and so many places to see America’s diverse beauty! It would be so cool to see other America top 10s or top 25s reviewed by your family! ❤🇺🇸🇳🇿

The landscapes he didn’t mention is the national grasslands of north Texas, the badlands which is a moon like surface ( very strange) the swamps of Louisiana or Everglades in Florida, and the mountains of Appalachia, and that doesn’t complete the list either. There are so many diverse landscapes in the US. My wife and I are driving from North Carolina out to the 4 corner states and will spend a couple weeks on holiday in the south western part of the US. Welcome, I really hope your trip is amazing and you both enjoy as well as make some great content to share with your NZ family.

Hawaii is such a beautiful state, I've been there twice and enjoyed it immensely. Yosemite National Park is a must, it's perfect for tourism and camping; El Capitan, Half Dome, any of the falls and just plain hiking is worth the trip. There is so much to do there since they have a few main entrances; the southern entrance has these wonderful growths called snow plants that are really pretty. I've talked to people from all over the world when I took the John Muir Trail to hike up towards Half Dome. Enjoy the U.S. and take plenty of photos, videos, souvenirs, etc. when you come this year :D

He touched on plenty of touristy and popular areas. Wyoming is amazing and definitely worth a visit. The southern US is great as well with several national parks like the Great Smoky Mountains, Everglades, Congaree, Dry Tortuga's, and a couple of others. If you have the opportunity to visit the south, definitely do! In regards to the national parks, The Great Smoky Mountains does not have an entry fee (but does require a parking permit) while most of the other parks do charge upon entry.

So happy to see you guys planning where to visit here in the USA. Sad to say that most Americans never get to see these places unless they live there. It took me moving overseas to realize how beautiful, how green, how expansive this country is and I couldn't wait to get back home. This country is in the fight of its life right now and I hope we can ALL appreciate this gift from God. ❤❤

Very west coast heavy. I’m surprised nothing was mentioned in the center part of the country. So much more than Florida, New York, and Maine on the east coast as well.

He’s barely scratching the surface of all of the wonder and beauty of the USA. From coast to coast there is more than can be seen in a lifetime. Even for those of us that are so blessed to live here.

When I was in my early 20s I toured the continental US with 3 of my friends. Our trip started and ended in western PA. We traveled west across the northern states, down the west coast and returned east across the southern states. We put over 10,000 miles on my car in 5 weeks visiting all the major national parks. While camping on the Washington coast we met 2 guys who were taking the same trip by bicycle. They started their trip in central N.Y.

When we retire, or if you are just independently wealthy, you live in a motorhome and stay on the move and probably still never see everything. (Would need a passport to get to Alaska through Canada, but not that hard). The road to Alaska was a dirt road not all that long ago.

I was born and raised in Boston, then lived in San Francisco for over 10 years, then moved to San Diego for a few years. Then I moved to Denver Colorado for 3 years. Now that I’m retired, we settled here in Phoenix Arizona. I didn’t really appreciate how fortunate I was with my travels and living locations until I came across your KZfaq channel. Thank you all for reminding me of how amazing this country is. ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t wait to see and here about your trip here!

I grew up in Northern California, lived on the Oregon coast for two years, and now I’ve lived in Alaska for the last seven years. Big Sur is a beautiful drive, as well as the Oregon coast. Alaska’s always beautiful, with great people. I used to drive truck up and down the East coast but I never got to experience New England. That’s where I want to go next. After England and Scotland.

That lighthouse during the Oregon portion is Heceta Head Lighthouse in Florence, Oregon. I live about fifteen minutes away in Mapelton in the rainforest.

Come to Michigan and see the Mackinac Straits and the Mackinac Bridge, which was once the longest suspension bridge in the world at 5 miles (8 km) long. Colonial Fort Michilimackinac is awesome to see. So much stuff to see in Michigan!

Happy Easter New Zealand Family! 😊🐣🐇🌺🌷💐🙏🏻🕊

For a first time trip to the United States from New Zealand, going to California makes a lot of sense. There is such a variety of landscapes, and things to do in the towns and cities. On the way back, Kauai is a great place to take a vacation from the vacation (Napali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Hanalei Bay). Kauai would be a vary calming transition back to the lovely country of New Zealand.

Some of the hiking places in the National Parks require timed entry tickets that sell out months in advance. So please research these now if you're expecting to travel here soon. Also, really pay attention to the expected weather for all of these different regions. The weather extremes in the US can be a real shock to our tourists. Can't wait to see your videos of your travels in the States!

Edited to add a comment. This video does cover a lot of territory mostly natural and he does a very good job of describing the positives. For some strange reason though, the most popular videos ,the ones that are most often reacted to about the USA are heavily West and West Coast. Every now and then they'll throw in some Florida or New England, but they never talk about the beauty of the South or mid west, Great Lakes etc. . I can't help but wonder if these bloggers have something against coming to the South or flyover states. There's some absolutely gorgeous places to visit beginning with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the surrounding areas 8n TN, NC, VA, KY or, the beaches of the East Coast especially Carolina beaches . I guess most people are a little bit familiar with Florida but if you haven't studied the Florida panhandle and Gulf Coast beaches are the prettiest. My home state of Tennessee not only has the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains in the east but the state has some of the largest cave systems in the world and some beautiful lakes and rivers set deep between the high rolling hills. If you like fishing camping and boating it's the place to be. Then there's beauty to be found in Alabama Georgia Mississippi. People know a little more about Southern Louisiana but all three of those States have beautiful beaches on the Gulf of Mexico as well as Forest Hills caves etc. I have searched the internet and I cannot find videos exclusively about the natural beauty of the South. There are lots of videos about how to do a road trip to the South and they mentioned some of the beautiful places but they're more heavily focus on the history and the cities of the South rather than the natural beauty. I do strongly recommend that you check out some videos about visiting the South before planning your trip.

In my home state of Texas, we have the second largest Canyon in the USA. Palo Duro Canyon and nearby is the Canyon Museum that tells the history of the Texas panhandle with dinosaurs and oil wells.

Yosemite National Park is incredible and I highly recommend going there. I visited for the first time this year in March and I think it is now my favorite National Park in the US. Tunnel View is breathtaking as you can see Half Dome, El Capitan, and all the amazing sights from one location.

In every state there are different time of the year that have such seasonal changes such as fall colors in the north east. But also, summer fog in the mornings and afternoon on California and western coastal areas. I have traveled to all but 2 states, and all have amazing places to visit from Maine, Washington DC, to California. If you are in southern California, do plan to visit the Channel Islands (off the coast of Santa Barbara) and Santa Catalina Island (part of the Channel Islands). Point Reyes National Seashore, just north of San Fransisco is also amazing. But again, I can pick so many across the country. Enjoy.

You guys should do a video on best cities to visit in each region. I may be biased, but Charleston, SC really is a great place for history, food, and an overall fun time.

Ever since I was little I always wanted to go to lake Tahoe. Finally went to lake Tahoe this past January and it was more than I thought it would be. I've been told it's even more beautiful in the summer. Can't wait to go back

I've hiked to the top of the Half Dome--It was amazing! We started before dawn and ended back at the car after sunset. I carried over a gallon of water in a back pack and drank it all. You need to register to hike to the actual top of the dome... this is to prevent over crowding. There are lots of other hikes in Yosemite, so if you can't get a ticket for Half Dome, you'll still have an amazing time there.

I hope you guys know that when we look at videos of New Zealand, we have the same reaction that you’re having to America!

You guys could always come to America, buy an RV and travel the country. Home school and make YT videos to pay for it all. Happy Easter!!! 🐰🐇

I have to say growing up in NY I came to appreciate Broadway, The Statue of Liberty, The Museum of Natural History, The Hayden Planetarium , The Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim, Yankee Stadium and so much more. I now live in South Florida, also known as paradise. If you can, NY should be number one on your list of destinations. The cultural aspects for the kids is unmatched.

I'm 62 years old and have been in every state in the USA except Alaska. You really need years of traveling to fully appreciate the United States. I would never live anywhere else. I did all of it by car, and camper (except Hawaii of course). On the road is the best way to see the United States, and many of the best places are actually the small towns 😎😎

We went to Hawaii in January of 2020. Pearl Harbor is incredible and humbling. Island wise Kauai is the one that really blew our minds. The food, the culture, and the scenery was amazing. This is the one place that we have vacationed at and actually had a conversation about moving to eventually. Kauai is my happy place. We have been back 2 more times and have more lined up for in the future. If you get the chance.... GO!

I grew up in Northern California in the Monterey Bay area, Santa Cruz to be precise, so Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Golden Gate Bridge, and the scenic Highway 1 drive are some of my favorite stomping grounds. It's fun to see your family wear Santa Cruz merch. That logo has expanded it's territory to all over the world now, but it was just a local symbol when I was growing up.

As a native Idahoan I can tell you Idaho is one of the most geographic diverse states in the union. You can go from beautiful deserts to dense forrest in a couple hours drive. Idaho is an outdoor enthusiasts dream. Great video fam!!!

The Grand Canyon is by FAR the coolest thing in America. I want to visit so bad. There are many awesome national parks as well.

I feel so so proud whenever Seattle and the PNW is shown 💚💙🏔️🏞️🌧️🌲☔☕🥰 We have amazing National and State parks here to explore. I've loved growing up around the massive mountains and the ocean on the other side. I feel very easily lost when I travel to a flat place that's inland. 😂

We are so excited to have you all here!!! The USA cannot wait to welcome you!!!

I’m so excited for your family to visit the US. I’m in Oregon so I have biased opinions, of course, to it being one of the most beautiful places to visit! We have Beach, mountains, volcanic fields, canyons, deserts and valleys all in one state! Can’t wait to see your videos from your trip. And yes, I believe he misspelled Yellowstone. 😂. Seemed like he was missing the w. Good catch!

I always love your excitement for our u.s. your knowledge is phenomenal. I look forward to your 'take' on all that you will see.. I know that you will truly be blown away!!.

My wife and I are going for the first time to Yosemite National Park this summer. As excited as we are to see the park, we are just as excited to see the red woods and sequoias relatively near the park.

I love that you will be coming to the US. Keep in mind that America is 4,466 km east to west (between New York and Las Angeles). And it is 2,500 km from north to south. America is vast! It took me 4 days to drive from San Diego, California to Indianapolis, Indiana driving 8 hours a day. Getting a snapshot of the United States in one trip would be almost impossible. You would need to spend months to visit every place in this video. You will want to come back again and again to see it all. We welcome you.

I've been to Kauai on the Napali Coast and honestly of everywhere I've been in the US that sticks out to me the most. Mind blowing. Grand Canyon is also iconic. You truly can't go wrong though. Have fun!

Glad to see you’re excited to visit Oregon. The coast and Columbia gorge in particular are gorgeous. Ecola State Park to walk in the footsteps of the Goonies when they were following the treasure map. Safe travels!

I was born and raised in Vermont and it is a beautiful state to visit, the fall is the best time, but it is beautiful during every season. Ben and Jerrys is the main tour you need to take, and get all the Maple Syrup and candies we have here, be the best you could ever have. Should do a New England trip, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, you wouldn't be disappointed. Love watching your videos and reactions, make me more interested in New Zealand myself. If you do go to Vermont and want someone to go around and help you guys, because even though people in Vermont are generous and nice, there are a lot lately that seem to have bad days a lot and are enthusiastic, but if you have someone that knows how to talk to them in our Vermont accent lol, I'm willing to do so.

With as much as they were in the west, I'm surprised they didn't mention the Geand Canyon. So surreal and beautiful.

I’m so stoked you guys recognized Lake Tahoe, one of my favorite places on earth! I grew up about three hours away, we used to come up every summer. And in fact, I am randomly here right now! Just got into town about an hour and a half ago!! 😊♥️🎉

I love listening to all of you love on my country! I'm from Oregon (but now live in Idaho) and there's so much more to see than what he showed. Every state has it's special features, you will love all of it when you visit. I've been to almost every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.

These videos always overlook the Midwest. Minnesota is such a beautiful state, especially on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Amazing hiking, waterfalls, naturally "air conditioned" in the summer due to the cooling effect from Lake Superior. Its an amazing drive from Duluth, Minnesota up the shore on Highway 61 to the Canadian border! :)

As an American, I've sadly never been to many of these places. Real life just unfortunately happens. But I hope to see them someday.

May God-bless you and your family on this wonderful Easter day With lots of love from me and my wife in California

Watching this makes me feel so fortunate to live in the US. I've been to many of the spots in this video- Acadia, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Keys, Seattle, New York, Boston, the Redwoods, Portland, Maine...I've been to 45 of the 50 states, yet I've barely scratched the surface. This country is so massive! Keep that in mind when planning your trip. You'll want to see it all, but that is impossible. Of everywhere I've been, my favorite spots were Yellowstone, the Redwoods, Seattle, and Maine. Maine is amazing! Drive up Route 1 and stop in Portland, then drive up to Bar Harbor and into Acadia. It's absolutely stunning. Seattle is the most beautiful and fun city I've been to. My wife grew up there, so it was awesome reliving memories with her and just exploring everything the city and surrounding area has to offer. The Redwoods are the most impressive thing I've seen in my life. Words can't describe how imposing and impressive they are. Yellowstone is the grandest National Park I've been to. There are so many animals to see, and the varying scenery makes Yellowstone second to none. My advice for you guys is to see as much as you can, but know that most of these places are hundreds if not thousands of miles from one another.

Yes Nadine, he did misspell Yellowstone! As a lifelong New Englander, we’d love it if you visited us here❤! Depending on when you come, I’d love to take y’all to Fenway Park or Gillette Stadium for a game. My treat! Keep us updated on your travel plans. I’m sure I’m not alone in wanting to give you a tour of our home states.

Yes, he spelled Yellowstone wrong. We have driven the Oregon/California coast and it is beautiful. The redwoods are definitely a sight to see. One of my favorite spots along the coast is Big Sur. I am disappointed that he never mentioned the Grand Canyon (the most spectacular place I have ever seen) or Glacier National Park. East coast autumns are also truly a sight to behold. I wish you great luck in your decisions for your upcoming trip.

If you go to California, go to San Diego for the Zoo and the Naval Base. It would take you 2 or 3 days to see even half of the zoo.

Love the suggestion to see the top best places to visit in New Zealand! I want to go there someday A LOT! Great video guys!

I would recommend researching what places you want to visit while here based on the season you'll be visiting. Each season/weather can change the experience drastically

i did alot of that trip during covid. i bought a travel trailer and took my mom and her boyfriend. we live in NY and took the northern route to S. Dakota, and Wyoming. i could spend months there its just so beautiful. then headed to Idaho through utah into Nevada(lake tahoe) California was on fire and smoke was heading our way so we didnt stay to long. after Nevada we started heading back east through Arizona(grand canyon) New Mexico and so on. the U.S. really is beautiful but i will say that every time i leave, no matter where i go, coming back to NY and seeing that skyline is always my favorite. when you guys come here i really do recommend just renting a RV. you will do and see so much more. when you stay in hotels you waste so much time doing nothing. in a RV you will see so much more just on your down time driving and you can choose to stay or leave a place.thats what we did. we didnt really make any definite destinations. we had the big ones we wanted to see but in between we just found BLM which is public land in America managed by the Bureau of Land Management that you can camp at for free. we found this place totally of the grid one night. when we woke up we where totally surounded by bison. just increadible

One of the best things about the U.S. is the diversity of climates. Very Beautiful. I am going to the Grand Canyon and other amazing places over the summer, so I am very excited. I hope you guys get to enjoy the beautiful places the U.S. has to offer! Love y'all's videos! I would love to see some more try not to laughs! Much love from Panama City Florida!

13:34 I used to go camping in those sand dunes almost every weekend in the summers when I was in university nearby

Y'all are the sweetest family my wife and I love your videos so glad y'all are coming to America, hope your visit is everything you want it to be!

We lived in Los Angeles, when I was in high school, and we would make two trips to Yosemite each year; one in the spring - when the snows were melting and feeding the falls and Merced river. And once each fall to see the trees turn. We would stay at a small hotel just outside the park and drive in each morning, to spend the day. We rented bikes and rode through the valley. Our hotel was right on the Merced river and that's what you heard going to sleep.🥰👍💯😁

That's a pretty good list. It didn't mention the caves: Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico and Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Some people are afraid of caves, I know, but both of these are fascinating. Carlsbad has a huge flight of bats leaving at sundown (they just look like birds) and Mammoth is in a beautiful area of Kentucky. Personally I wasn't that impressed by Zion and might suggest Arches N.P. instead. Utah has five national parks and numerous state parks with fantastic rock formations (check out Coral Pink Sand Dunes S.P. and Kodachrome Basin S.P.). These aren't quite as touristy as the national parks but are almost equally interesting. Also, if you want dinosaurs you can't beat Utah. The Natural History Museum in Salt Lake City has a HUGE collection of horned dinosaur heads as well as lots of other dinos. Very child-oriented, too. There are also "field" sites you can visit where archaeologists are actively digging up bones - but these are usually way out in the boonies. Depends on how much you love dinosaurs. Also, if you're in Salt Lake City you're only a couple of hours from Reno, Nevada, where you can go to casinos! The salts flats he mentioned are only minutes away from there. Gives you a taste of the "bright night life" without having to cope with the awfulness of Las Vegas. Don't forget that besides its beautifuly scenery, Vermont has Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory where you can take a tour. I don't know if you have B&J in New Zealand, but they're very famous here. If you do go to Maine for the lobster, be aware that it's different from the rock lobster you may be used to. It's big! and very delicious. You'll find small restaurants serving lobster rolls all along the Maine coast, and the further up (or down, as we call it) you go the better they get. But you can get lobster easily in Boston, too.

as an Oregonian, the coastline is absolutely stunning, bus also incredibly cold most of the year, and the Oregon dunes are right next to the coast ;)

Hello you wonderful people! I grew up on the Monterey Peninsula near Big Sur and now I am in Bend, Oregon. Both are beautiful places.

I'd love for you all to visit Hot Springs, AR!!! Let me know if you do! Originally I lived in NJ and spent majority of my time in NYC. I moved to Hot Springs, AR just over 3 years ago and absolutely love it!!

I have been to a lot of those places. My FAVORITE ones are the Arizona National parks. There are many National Monuments too in AZ you may want to see. Many have ancient Native American ruins that are nothing less than spectacular.

Such a dichotomy. I'm 45 now, but when LOTR first came out and I realized you guys basically have every geographic aspect from beaches, to snow capped mountains (skiing / anow-boarding) I was sold!

If you go to Lake Tahoe in the winter there is world-class skiing in the resorts surrounding the lake with great skiing and views but in the winter the drive to Lake Tahoe can get long and hard because of snow the drive to lake Tahoe from San Fransisco can take up to 8 hours in the winter but when your there is great skiing and views of the lake it worth it but it can get really cold

Another wonderful National Park to see is the Pictured Rock National Lakeshore along Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We also have right by it Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Springs), plus Mackinac Island which is a whole different experience. We get visitors from all over the world that come and visit.

I drove through 27 states in 2019 with my son, it was amazing. Started in Savannah, GA and drove on I-10 until San Diego. So many things to see, then drove up the Pacific coast highway. So breath taking. We went to Seattle and drove diagonally through back yo Savannah. The USA is an amazing country to see and it takes forever.

I have been to many of these places, but Acadia (near Bar Harbor) in Maine is by far my favorite. If you ever venture to Bar Harbor definitely do Cadillac Mountain at sunrise; you will be the first on the continental US to see the sunrise! Make sure you get there very early for parking. Thunder Hole is also neat to see in Acadia, but it is at its finest right before a storm, otherwise it isn't as impressive.

That video should be called the “Top 24 Places to Visit in the US if you like to Hike and Jump in Lakes, + NYC.” Don’t get me wrong: all those places are great. Beautiful scenery, interaction w nature, etc. But there are so many other kinds of attractions in the US other than that particular “type” of outdoor attraction. Both natural (eg Everglades) and man-made (eg Mount Rushmore, Gateway Arch, Hoover Dam, Washington Monument & Lincoln Memorial). Not to mention the food/culture of cities/regions (New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City) and other random stuff like the Field of Dreams in Iowa, Graceland in Memphis or Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Kiwis wanna come here, and Yanks wanna go there.😅

I've lived almost all my life in Massachusetts (except for 4 years in NYC during graduate school), so I'm a little biased to including New England in your travel plans, but all the locations he mentioned are incredible....and are places I have to visit!

If you drive 101 through Oregon. You have too make sure, you stop at 48 flavors Ice Cream shop. Just on the north end of Florence OR. They make all their Ice Cream in house. I recommend the blueberry cheesecake & raspberry cheesecake Ice Cream. On one of their hand made waffle cones. Another good stop is the cheese factory down in Tilikum. the Cheese curds are the best I have ever ate.

We take pride in our national parks, but your backyard is where they filmed LOTR and Narnia! 😂 Anyway, stay safe and have fun in the USA!! 💙🇳🇿🇺🇸

While visiting northern California, be sure to book a tour of Rancho Obi Wan (appointment required) in Petaluma. It's home of the largest Star Wars collections in the world!

The Antelope Canyon in Arizona genuinely looks even more impressive than the photos and videos. It's such a unique beautiful site.

Living in south Florida, I can attest to the Keys being badass. Then again, Florida is amazingly diverse in terrain and population, ranging from big cities to alligator-infested swamps. This video barely scratches the surface regarding the USA. New York, Chicago, and other cities have amazing museums, and other attractions that are great for families. Plus, two Disney parks. There’s SO much, yet the entire world is just as amazing

It’s a common misconception that the first Thanksgiving was in Massachusetts, but it was actually held in Virginia at Jamestown. Yes, he spelled Yellowstone wrong. He left out the W.

I love y’all’s videos, but I’ve noticed many of the “Best places in the USA” have a tendency to stay only in certain area of my country (mainly west coast, New York area) and have yet to see videos about what they refer to here as “fly-over states”, there are MANY beautiful places that aren’t just on the coastal states, and very interesting areas and massive history aren’t always on the coasts, haha

New England has such an unparalleled vibe. I recommend it 100%

As a lifelong resident of California I have been privileged to know how beautiful it is. (Avoid political discussions at all costs, folks here are extreme). But having a home on Lake Tahoe, I can tell you it is equally amazing in the winter. Also having lived in Humboldt, go see the trees but spend some time going through the small towns. They are cool in their own right. Buried among the redwoods you can find a family owned cheese factory (cows in the field outside) that will let you participate in the process. And another that makes fresh pressed apple cider that will change your life. Also, be on the lookout for Bigfoot, he was first discovered among those trees.

The geology/geography of Idaho is much like that of the U.S. as a whole - very diverse. The southern part of the state is mostly a mix of farmland and desert, with a couple prominent areas of sand dunes - St. Anthony's (shown in this video) and Bruneau - and mountains in the corners. The middle part of the state is steep, rugged, beautiful mountains, lakes, white water rivers, and hot springs. The northern panhandle features the rolling hills of the Palouse that give way to lush, thick, green forests and beautiful lakes. So, something for everyone. And yes, the host misspelled Yellowstone. :-)

Yes, he forgot the W in YellowStone. 55 years living in the US and I've only ever visited two of these places - Oahu and the Grand Canyon. Both are absolutely stunning, although I much preferred the Big island of Hawaii over Oahu because Oahu is crowded and touristy. Definitely still stunning, but the Big Island is much less crowded and there's not nearly the hustle and bustle of Oahu. I visited the Grand Canyon for a day trip when we were vacationing in Las Vegas. Took a helicopter tour that landed down at the bottom of the canyon and then rode a pontoon boat down the Colorado River. Amazing vacation! This video was a perfect example of why Americans rarely travel abroad. I'll never even get to experience everything my own country has to offer.

I never got to see some of these until I was a truck driver. Multnomah Falls & Devil's Tower were exceptionally memorable. Gotta remember, tho--the US covers a LOT of real estate! The US is one of the largest countries on the planet. No quick trips from NYC to Hollywood!

I live in Salt Lake City have have been to the Salt Flats many times. My daughter and her now husband had their wedding photos taken there. She wore a black dress and the contrast between the white salt and her dress was breathtaking.

It's so great that people outside the US find it as amazing as I do. I live in SoCal but I have family in 37 other states and so travel a lot. I heard Sam say something about taking the drive down the Pacific coast and I really have to tell you that if you're planning to drive south at some point, you should stop in at Paradise Cove and around that area. There are a few old Hollywood filming locations I think are worth visiting (plus the entire stretch of road is a filming location). Paradise Cove actually had 6+ shows shot there, including Rockford Files (a personal fave), Columbo, and X-Men. Plus in late summer it will be mega hot so it's always nice to be on the beach. That's my two cents! I hope you enjoy this mighty fine country as much as I do!
