Travel to the birthplace of your rovin’ writer, the stunning state of Hawaii. It is here on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii, that you will discover Hawai’i Volcanoes, National Park. This national park is an official International Biosphere Reserve.
It’s also a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site due in part to its geological wonders. Here the planet comes alive beneath your very feet, and your senses are nigh-assaulted by a blackened landscape of orange bubbling lava and sulfurous steam. Take a scenic drive or hike the network of hiking trails here.
Death Valley is the home to North America’s lowest point. This arid, heat-blasted valley offers visitors drifting dunes, expansive views, great hiking trails, and striking scenic drives. The memorable harshness is what intrigues many travelers.
One of the most surprising highlights here within this dry, desolate spot is the popular spring wildflower display. Visit at the right time, and you will witness the park’s rocky desert floor literally transformed into a kaleidoscope of color. It’s just two hours out of Las Vegas too.
