Mendenhall Glacier Caves, Alaska

Mendenhall Glacier Caves, Alaska The Mendenhall Glacier Caves is definitely one of the top surreal places in the US! I have only seen pictures, but I would love to visit Alaska and check this out. The ice caves look like frozen waves and it seems as if you are underwater!

UPD:

The Mendenhall Glacier Caves are located in Juneau, Alaska and are part of the Mendenhall Glacier. The caves are formed by the melting of the glacier, creating a unique and beautiful landscape. The caves can be explored by taking a guided tour, and visitors can marvel at the amazing ice formations and the blue and green hues that are created by the light filtering through the ice. The caves are a great place to take photos, as the light and colors create a surreal atmosphere. Visitors can also learn about the glacier and its history from the tour guides. The Mendenhall Glacier Caves are a must-see for anyone visiting Alaska.

Yosemite Valley, California

Yosemite Valley, California Oh, Yosemite! I remember going here with my family when I was a little girl, and I would love to go back this summer! This valley is covered in pine and the granite summits are unbelievable! I’m no hiker, but people love to hike here because of the scenic trails. I, on the other hand, prefer to sit by the river and dip my feet in and become one with nature. Warning: the river is cold. Really cold.

Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming

Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming I have never been to a hot spring and I would love to see one! This pool is the largest hot spring in the US.

Hamilton Pool, Texas

Hamilton Pool, Texas This is one of the secret spots near Austin, Texas. Hamilton Pool was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed. But when you see Hamilton Pool, you will be glad that the dome is gone.

7

Bryce Canyon, Utah

Bryce Canyon, Utah During my cross-country road trip, I was fortunate to pass by Bryce Canyon. It is by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I felt like I was taken to another world, with all the hoodoos and geological structures. The colors are very earthy (orange, red, and white) and it is absolutely jaw-dropping.

8

Lake Tahoe, California

Lake Tahoe, California Tahoe is a famous ski spot for families to escape to during winter break. The clear waters and the plethora of trees make it a perfect vacation spot, too!

9

Niagara Falls, New York

Niagara Falls, New York Niagara Falls, probably one of the most popular spot for tourists, is located along the United States-Canada border. I visited for the very first time last year, and I was in awe! It is amazing to (carefully) lean over the railing and take in the beautiful view. I would like to head over to the other side and see what Canadians see! I have been told that going to Niagara Falls during the winter, when it is freezing or frozen, is also another amazing alternative!

I definitely consider myself a city girl, but from time to time, when I see these beautiful natural sites, it is hard not to just fall in love with them. They are so removed from the world. Take a trip to one of these places and you will immediately feel yourself relax and unwind! Have you ever been to any of these places? What other surreal places would you recommend?

The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is breathtaking! From where I was I could even see the falls at night light up. It was so hard to sleep with that view.
