2. Coyote Buttes, Arizona
The rugged Coyote Buttes is actually a part of the popular Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The property stretches across north-central Arizona and south-central Utah. Head south of south of US 89 and you will find it halfway between Page, Arizona and Kanab, Utah.
Coyote Buttes includes two separate sections. Coyote Buttes North and Coyote Buttes South. Veteran visitors suggest seeing “The Wave,” a stunning sandstone rock formation found in Coyote Buttes North. The multi-colored appearance of the sandstone is due to the presence of different iron oxide pigments inside the various layers.
Be sure to see the popular trample surface or dinosaur trackway too. Remember though that in order to properly preserve this place, everyone must purchase a hiking permit. A maximum of 20 people is permitted each day.

Take in the sight of the sun rising over the sturdy, snow-dusted Joshua trees found in California’s impressive Mojave Desert. This place was made world-famous when the Irish rock band U2 released their 1987 album Joshua Tree. This national park Is actually promoted as the spot where two different desert ecosystems meet, the Colorado and the Mojave.
It was also reportedly last year’s official 11th most-visited national park. This place is home to a number of different flora and fauna, as well as approximately 501 individual archeological sites and the best group of rugged rock-climbing faces in the entire country.
