8.Denali National Park, Alaska
If you like big mountains, you will love distinctive Denali National Park. Visible from almost anywhere in the park, massive Denali Mountain is 20,304 feet high and towers above the stunning surrounding countryside. It, and its namesake park, are one of the state’s top attractions. This is just the place for river rafting, camping expeditions, challenging backpacking trips, mountaineering adventures, and exciting wildlife viewing. No privately-owned vehicles are permitted on the park road, but bus options are almost always available.
9.Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado
Mesa Verde National Park is the place to be if you want a really close-up view of the nation’s most incredible cliff dwellings. Some of these precariously perched structures are over 700 years old and were literally carved out of the canyon wall. Take a tour of the Balcony House or the White Cliff Palace.
Need more? You can visit 5000 protected ancient archaeological sites here too. Mesa Verde itself is located on a high plateau in the state’s southwestern corner. Visit it on a day trip out of Cortez or Durango.
