Even so, 2021 is looking up and the travel business is opening up new avenues where you can be able to get the best experiences for your holiday or vacation plans.

South Dakota

To begin with, South Dakota is the home to Mount Rushmore, famously known for its sculptures of 4 great American heroes: Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Nonetheless, South Dakota’s is not only popular because of the mountain features, it also inhabits various other national monuments such as Custer State Park, Rapid City, not to mention the historic Deadwood town that thrived during the gold rush.

If you are a historical enthusiast, you will be able to get an exclusive experience of tales of the famous Wild Bill and Calamity Jane. Further, you will also get to experience the lush state forests and the famous Black Hills of South Dakota. In South Dakota, you will probably need ATVs to be able to navigate the charming landscapes of Custer State Park, visits to Devil’s Tower, as well as Crazy Horse Monument.

Wyoming

Another yet interesting location to visit in the United States is Wyoming, This state is where you will find two very interesting locations where you can visit. These include Yellow Stone and Grand Teton National Parks. In fact, these two national parks are regarded as some of the state’s pride, as they are full of beautiful landscapes and a diverse collection of wildlife.

The Yellowstone National Pak is typically known for the Old Faithful. This is a geyser that goes off every hour. You will also be privileged to witness the vibrant colors of the Grand Prismatic Spring and/or the amazing Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. If you fancy wildlife, you will also be able to see the famous elks, bison, and maybe even a mountain bear.

Pennsylvania

Many people know Pennsylvania for the chocolate industries and 20th-century steel mills. However, Pennsylvania is full of camping grounds that have spectacular scenery. These campsites include Glen State Park in the Northeastern part of the state, the Pocono Mountain region, and the Valleys of the Susquehanna.

Othe Pennsylvania campsites include the Alleghenies that has a natural forest that is over 155,000 square kilometers in size.

Montana

In this state, you will find very interesting sceneries and especially in the Glacier National Park. Some of the most popular sceneries in Montana include multiple glaciers, the Hidden Lake Overlook, Avalanche as well as Lake McDonald. You can also find the Waterton Lakes National Park close to the Canadian border. This park introduces the peaks and valleys of the Canadian Rockies.

As a matter of fact, you will find that Glacier National Park has over 700 miles of hiking trails. These are more than enough to occupy you for a couple of days. Alternatively, you might opt to take the red bus tour that goes along the Going-T0-The-Sun Road up to the top of the park.

Southern Utah

Our list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Southern Utah as a pristine destination for traveling in the United States. Southern Utah is home to over 5 national parks. These include the Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands. As a matter of fact, these national parks are registered as International Dark Sky Parks. This means that they have exceptional starry nights.

Arizona

Arizona is the last destination that I would recommend to any traveler seeking to have a good time in the US. The Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Antelope Canyon are some of the most interesting features in Arizona. These destinations are actually more suitable for those who are looking to camp and seek adventurous times with nature. You can use camping services like Tentrr that make sure that you have all the camping tools and gears that you need for your trip.
