Western Australia’s Weano Gorge is found in Karijini National Park. The gorge features glowing pools and luminous ridges. It has a banded look due to more than 2 million years worth of rivers rushing through layers of dolomite, iron and shale rock. Park your car at the Weano Day Use Area lot and walk the three-kilometer (less than two-mile) loop to Handrail Pool.

17. Taroko Gorge, Taiwan

Taroko Gorge, in the Taroko National Park, is a must-see for anyone who visits Taiwan. It’s a short flight or three-hour drive from the capital Taipei. This canyon is reportedly a hiker’s heaven.

Hike the trails that weave throughout the caves, tunnels, and marble walls. Not a hiker? Take a bus tour through the entire park and see the gorge and other attractions.
