Niagara Falls. Some 12 million tourists come every year to see the mighty Niagara Falls. Located

on the Niagara River on the border between New York and Ontario, Canada, this famed cataract

comprises three separate falls: Horseshoe, American, and Bridal Veil.

 

 

 

 

Grand Canyon. A bend in the Colorado River horseshoes around a sandstone butte in Grand Canyon

National Park. President Theodore Roosevelt called the canyon—one of the seven natural wonders

of the world—"the one great sight every American ... should see." More than four million people do

so every year.

 

 

 

 

Biker and Glacier. A mountain biker makes his way over Black Rapids Glacier in the Alaska Range.

Running across the middle of Denali National Park, this range is home to 20,320-foot (6,194-meter)

Mount McKinley, North America's highest peak.

 

 

 

 

Shi Shi Beach. The 73 miles (118 kilometers) of coastline protected by Washington's Olympic

National Park is speckled with sea stacks like these on Shi Shi Beach. This remote beach is famed

for the tidal pools that collect amid the stacks and harbor unparalleled sea life.

 

 

 

 

Mesa Verde. The nearly 600 stone-and-mortar cliff houses notched by the ancient Anasazi into

precipitous canyon walls are the most compelling feature of Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park.

Cliff Palace, shown here, is the largest, with 151 rooms and 23 circular underground chambers

called kivas.

 

 

 

 

National Mall. An aerial photo captures the expanse of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.,

home to the capital city's most important memorials, monuments, and museums. This image shows

the Lincoln Memorial (foreground), the Reflecting Pool, the Washington Monument, and, in the

distance, the Capitol Building.

 

 

 

 

Bridalveil Fall. A shimmering afternoon rainbow frequently fences Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National

Park. The picturesque, 620-foot (190-meter) waterfall is one of many attractions at the California park,

which draws more than 3.5 million visitors each year.

 

 

 

 

Rainbow Bridge. Arching 275 feet (84 meters) across and 290 feet (88 meters) above the creek

bed below, Rainbow Bridge in the Utah desert has been a source of inspiration and wonderment for

millennia. Among the largest of all known natural bridges, the sandstone span attracts some 300,000

visitors each year.

 

 

 

 

Old Faithful. Tourists look on as Old Faithful, Yellowstone National Park's most famous geyser,

sends a tower of scaling water skyward. Recent research suggests the clockwork geyser eruptions

are slowing down—and may even stop—due to global warming-related dry spells.
