25 Beautiful Hidden Gems In The USA
1. Valley Of Fire State Park, Nevada
If you’re in the Las Vegas area, be sure to visit the Valley of Fire State Park in Overton. This park covers 40,000 acres of red Aztec sandstone, and travel journalists often say this is one of America’s “best hidden vacation spots.” You can camp here year-round although veteran visitors suggest avoiding the summer heat. Stop in at the visitor center and discover the petrified trees and the petroglyphs there.
2.Fort Bragg, California
The town of Fort Bragg is situated on the coast in Mendocino County. During the early 1900s, residents threw their trash off the oceanside cliffs. When the environmental movement began in the 1960s, the coast was cleaned up. Ah, but the decades of dumping glass into the ocean resulted in the shoreline eventually being covered with smooth glass pebbles. Visit this hidden “Glass Beach” and see how nature created beauty from the debris dumped into the sea.
