22. Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, Hawaii

This Big Island beach is the only place in the country with green sand. It’s one of four on Earth. The color is due to the mineral olivine.

23. Luray Caverns, Virginia

 

The otherworld-like Luray Caverns are found in the famous Blue Ridge Mountains. The ancient stalactites and stalagmites are sand-colored. Be sure to see glittering Dream Lake too.

24. Hoh Rainforest, Washington

This lush rainforest is located in Olympic National Park. The verdant Sitka spruces are home to pacific tree frogs and Roosevelt elks. Visit in the summer when it’s dryer.

  2. Hi!
    My paternal grandfather was a strong believer in seeing your own country too. Thank you for your comment and thanks for reading my stuff!

  3. You’re absolutely right. I too am a Navy girl, BOTH my parents were in the Navy. Met in the Navy…we traveled my whole life, I still have wanderlust. America is amazing, don’t need to go out of the country for adventures and beautiful sights. It’s all right here…❤

  4. Don’t get me wrong. I have been to other countries and confess to loving the UK. Still, back in my grandfather’s time especially, I think he had a point.
    I see nothing wrong with exploring the beauty of your homeland. How else do you learn what to recommend to visitors from other countries, right? There are places in the US I would never have thought to suggest to people from other nations had I not been there myself! Thanks for your comment and for reading my stuff!

  5. Planning to visit California for the summer…..I will sure check out the Pfeiffer beach…look picturesque.

  6. You can definitely see your enthusiasm within the paintings you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always go after your heart.
