3.Devils Tower, Wyoming

This is one of the most stunning natural wonders in the nation and just a brief stop on a trip on Interstate 90 too. This natural rock tower towers 1,267 feet above Wyoming’s Belle Fourche River. It was created by the intrusion of magma into underground sedimentary rock. It is a sacred site to over 25 Native American tribes. You might recognize Devils Tower from the famous filmClose Encounters of the Third Kind.  

4.Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia

hidden

Blackwater Falls State Park is nestled in Tucker County in the Allegheny Mountain Range. Oddly, it is both “one of the best hidden vacation spots” and “most photographed attractions” in the state. The namesake 57-foot waterfall is undoubtedly the main attraction here. The water actually has an amber tint from the tannic acid from the red spruce and hemlock leaves. You can also go biking, camping, fishing, geocaching, hiking, and swimming.
