There are so many
places to go on vacation that sometimes the most difficult thing is narrowing
it down to a few destinations and then making a final choice. One criteria that
makes that easier is to opt for a naturally beautiful destination.
While many vacation
spots have activities and interesting places to explore, being surrounded by wonderous
nature is at once life reaffirming and revitalizing too. While a spa day also
helps to revive your body, mind and spirit, there’s nothing like stepping out
of your villa or bedroom into a scenic view that leaves you breathless.
Here are several
suggestions for places to go that have natural beauty as a key selling point.
Minnesota for the Lakes
Minnesota is known for
the numerous bodies of water through the state. The lakes are plentiful, and
the lakeside resorts abound in the area. The Minnesota resorts
make best use of this natural splendor by offering well-situated accommodation,
useful facilities and amenities that provide everything that you and your
traveling companion(s) could want.
Many resorts are
family-friendly too, so look out for resorts that have a swimming pool which is
suitable for children. Some resorts organize events for children during the day
which allows the parents to relax more on their vacation. Just being able to
get back that feeling of being a couple again for a few precious hours provides
a respite from the parental responsibilities that’s priceless.
Yellowstone for Majestic Beauty
Yellowstone is filled with impressive beauty throughout.
There’s thousands of miles of mountains and deep canyons to explore with many
adventurers traveling to this destination to go rock climbing. The hot springs
and geysers that push steam high into the air in bursts is a sight to see and
something children may never have experienced first-hand before. There are
copious waterfalls to trek out to see as well. Yellowstone is the place to be
for anyone with a clear love of the outdoors and who doesn’t mind putting some
wear on their hiking boots.
This is Lewis and Clark country right here. John Colter scouted the region on their behalf and came back with tales of the magnificence of Yellowstone that few people believed in the early 1800s when he first spoke of it. These days, this national park is no longer a secret held by a select few. Along with the hiking, there’s plenty of wildlife that can be spotted if you’re sly and keep an eye out for it.
Florida for the Palm Trees
Along with virtually
endless sunshine, for anyone who’s never been to somewhere tropical, the line
of palm trees frequently observed in Florida is a sight to see. The lush state
with plantations, copious greenery and tempting turquoise waters as far as the
eye can see doesn’t disappoint.
The Florida Keys is fascinating in its own right with several different
keys to explore. They’re expected to be underwater due to rising water levels
in the decades to come, so it’s a good idea to explore them while you still
can. It’s best to fly down to Florida and hire a car if you want to explore the
Keys fully.
A trip to Disneyland
is fine, but it’s difficult to find natural things there. It’s all manufactured
rides and commercialism. To get something natural and not overly touristic, you
must seek out the natural beauty that abounds in America.
I want to get back to the Florida Keys, specifically Key West, SO bad. It is such a fun vacation spot!
ReplyDeleteI do love the natural beauty of a national park or of a place here in Missouri called Johnstons Shut Ins. So gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI agree the United States has so many places to visit. Truly a beautiful country. Nice to see you getting out as a family.
ReplyDeleteWe love going to places with natural beauty. We drove up to Wisconsin recently, just to see Lake Michigan.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go visit Minnesota and all it's natural beauty! Now, I know where else I should go besides there for some great scenic areas too!
ReplyDeleteThis is on my bucket list and I am Praying to be able to take my son before he grows up and is out of the house.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to the Florida Keys but I keep hearing amazing things about it. I would love to take a trip there with the family one day.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to go to these places! I love going to places with stunning scenery. I hope to make it to Yellowstone soon.
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds like a fun place to vacation with the kids. I've never been to Missouri so I don't know much about it, but looks nice.
ReplyDeleteA vacation certainly needs to include some sightseeing of the great outdoors. Can't wait to check some of this out.
ReplyDeleteThere is something amazing about getting to visit somewhere, where the view around you can really take your breath away. These sound like some amazing places.
ReplyDeleteI have only been to Minnesota a couple of times. It always looks so beautiful and I'd love to plan a longer trip soon.
ReplyDeleteI prefer going to the scenic areas too. This year I really want to take a trip out west to visit some of the national parks.
ReplyDeleteI went to Yellowstone a few years back and have to agree: It is STUNNING! My kids were really too young to appreciate it though...so I guess we'll just have to go back! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a native Floridian, so I've done those, but not the others. I would love to travel the entire country and see it all someday!
ReplyDeleteI’ve always wanted to visit yellow national stone park. The scenery looks breathtaking and majestic.
ReplyDeleteAck, I almost made it to Key West last fall but unfortunately my trip was planned right around Hurrican Maria's path...maybe another time. I NEED to see palm trees every so often, Michigan just doesn't have them!
ReplyDeleteWhat these are some fantastic locations. Nature has so much beauty to offer us!
ReplyDeleteThis place is really awesome! Definitely breath taking too! How I wish I could see this beautiful place as well. - Anosa Malanga
