7.  Scale The Sand Dunes In Jockey’s Ridge State Park

Visit this 426-acre state park and see the Atlantic Coast’s tallest sand dune in Nags Head in the previously-mentioned Outer Banks. The dunes here are over 60 feet high. To explore them, you can hike two of the trails here or use the boardwalk which is 360 feet in length.

You might also spot such wildlife as brown pelicans, coyotes, foxes, and ospreys. Keep an eye out for fulgurites too. (Fulgurites are glass tubes created by lightning striking the sand. It’s also the perfect place for kite flying and hang gliding.  

8.  Explore The North Carolina Museum of Art

This museum is located in Raleigh. It spans an area of almost 130,000 square feet and was originally built to house a collection of almost 150 American and European sculptures and paintings purchased by the state for one million dollars in 1947. Today, the collection covers a period of over 5,000 years. Highlights here include a large collection of Rodin sculptures, Egyptian funerary art, and the attractive Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park.

  1. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation however I find this topic to be actually something which I believe I might by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely large for me. I’m taking a look forward in your next submit, I will attempt to get the cling of it!
