Blue Heart Springs

Find Solitude In Vibrant Blue Water

In southwestern Idaho, Blue Heart Springs is the true definition of a hidden gem. Hidden away in a little-known cove beside the Snake River, this swimming hole is far from the public eye. In fact, the best way to reach it is on a kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or another small vessel. It is the perfect place to find some quiet, immerse yourself in nature, and simply enjoy Idaho’s natural beauty. While its location is truly unique, it’s not the only thing that makes this swimming hole stand out — it’s the vibrant blue water. The crystalline water looks like a swimming hole found in a tropical paradise, but definitely not in Idaho. Float around on your kayak, sit on the rocky shore and admire the beauty of the area, or even hop in the brisk water for a refreshing swim. Blue Heart Springs is a little slice of heaven that may take some extra effort to enjoy, but once you are there, you will not want to leave.

Oregon Caves National Monument and preserve

An Underground World Hidden Deep Inside A Mountain

Oregon is adorned with a great deal of natural beauty, though the Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve is a particularly awe-inspiring destination. Extending some 15,000 feet underground in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon, this subterranean world has been nicknamed “the Marble Halls of Oregon,” only hinting at the strange and colorful space waiting to be explored. Be prepared for an almost otherworldly experience as you enter this natural wonder. A cave tour takes you through a dark maze of narrow passageways as you go deeper and deeper into the heart of the mountain. As you descend stairs, climb ladders, and duck under low ceilings, you will be fascinated by the strange and intricate marble formations that make up areas of the cave called “Paradise Lost,” “Ghost Room,” and “Belly of the Whale.” Learn the history of this ancient underground world where spectacular shapes of the so-called Marble Halls were formed by acidic water dripping slowly over the rock for millennia.

FLINT HILLS

Seemingly Endless Hills Meet The Wide Open Sky

Rolling hills as far as the eye can see; the Flint Hills will change your perspective of Kansas in an instant. A critical tallgrass prairie ecosystem hidden in the notoriously flat landscape that comes to mind when one thinks of Kansas, the Flint Hills are sure to surprise anyone traveling through the area for the first time. Like many geological marvels, the Flint Hills were formed by nature, thanks to the different layers of rock found in the area. Limestone is harder than shale, making hills appear when water erodes away every soft spot it can reach, leaving beautiful hills that seem to flow downward instead of pushing up through the ground. During the spring months, prescribed burns renew the prairie for important upkeep and make for stunning photo opportunities. And luckily for you, there are endless ways to enjoy this unique paradise — lace up your hiking shoes, explore a nature preserve, set up camp for the weekend, or simply admire the windshield views on a scenic drive. Seasons may change, but the Flint Hills never run out of natural beauty to dazzle you

A Sandless Beach With Crystalline Waters

Discover pristine crystal clear blue-green water so tranquil and deep you’ll think you’ve taken the wrong flight and ended up in the Caribbean. Instead, you’ve simply found yourself at the unique Wisconsin paradise that is Schoolhouse Beach.

If you close your eyes and listen closely, you’ll hear the whisper of tumbling rocks dancing against the beach.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

A Glowing Rainbow Of Sandstone Cliffs

Tucked away in Michigan’s upper peninsula, you’ll find 200-foot-tall sandstone cliffs glowing with a rainbow of colors. It's as if you tracked a leprechaun to his pot of gold and discovered the source of the rainbow. Home to uniquely colored sandstone cliffs along fifteen miles of striking Lake Superior Shoreline, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a treasure to behold. Formed hundreds of millions of years ago, these sandstone layers feature colorful striations due to a unique blend of minerals. This isn’t the only secret this area of Lake Superior contains, though. Because sandstone is so easily worn by flowing water, the shoreline is home to jaw-dropping caves, arches, waterfalls, and rock formations. The area is a popular destination for kayaking, hiking, and climbing, and you’ll even find scuba divers searching for pirate treasure in Pictured Rocks — you see, the rough-breaking waters of Lake Superior have claimed many shipwrecks over the centuries. No matter where you live, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is one natural wonder you’ll want to experience this year.

shawnee national forest

A Magical Forest Filled With Hidden Treasures

With a name like Garden of the Gods, you just know there are amazing views in store. But that isn’t the only natural wonder to discover in the Shawnee National Forest. Tucked between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in Southern Illinois, this sprawling, 289,000-acre paradise is home to lush oak-hickory forests, flourishing wetlands, captivating canyons, razorback ridges, and unique geological features. Hidden along a short, quarter-mile trail is the Pomona Natural Bridge, an astounding stone arch bridge that stands 30 feet off the ground and 90-feet-long and was carved out of the earth after millions of years of glacial activity. And yet the Garden of the Gods is still calling your name. This stunning 3,318-acre wilderness area within the Shawnee National Forest will take your breath away with its scenic overlooks, daring cliff faces, interesting rock formations, and mesmerizing sunsets over a lush forest. Although a trip to this natural wonder is a must-visit at any time of year, an autumn trip to see the Garden of the Gods explode with light and color is truly awe-inspiring.

beachwalker county park, Kiawah Island

An Oceanfront Park With Riverfront Views

Located at the west end of Kiawah Island off the coast of South Carolina, Beachwalker County Park is a must-visit locale with plenty to see, do, and enjoy. As the only public beach on the serene Kiawah Island, the amenities here are abundant, and you could spend all day here — grilling and picnicking using the on-site grills, renting a beach chair and umbrella and digging into a good book, grabbing snacks from the nearby snack bar, and, of course, making a splash in the beach's crystalline waters. What truly sets this beach apart from the rest, however, is the giant swath of sand considered to be some of the whitest flecks in South Carolina. Thanks to less sediment being churned up by the waves, the sand here is more pristine than in other coastal spots. Sparkling blue water and clean beaches? Sign us up! When you visit, take heed of the seasonal hours: the beach closes early in winter and stays open longer in the summer. There's nothing better than enjoying a long summer evening by the water, wouldn't you agree?

the wonder house

An Eccentric Mansion With A History You’d Never Expect

Tucked away in the small town of Bartow, between Tampa and Orlando, the Wonder House is a historic marvel. To witness its fascinating features, guests drive from all over to catch a glimpse of the mansion's 18 unique rooms. Given only a year to live by his doctors in the 1920s, Conrad Schuck decided to build the home of his dreams for his wife and nine children, filling it with countless unique features — including pillars that trap rainwater to cool the exterior and a fireplace with mirrors inside and at the top to reflect sunlight into the home. There's even a third-floor porch that features an eight-by-ten-foot fishpond. Construction was completed after the DuCharme family purchased the house in 1964 and was sold at auction in 2015. It has since been wonderfully restored and remodeled, allowing visitors to reserve a tour and see all the mystery and magic within. With so many incredible features and a mind-blowing history, the Wonder House is one hidden gem in Florida that you have to see to believe.

ruby falls

Experience America’s Tallest Underground Waterfall

Ruby Falls is one of those happy accidents that may have never been discovered had it not been for cave enthusiast Leo Lambert. He found the waterfall in the 1920s by accident while he was drilling an elevator shaft for the Lookout Mountain Cave nearby. Named after Lambert’s wife, Ruby, this waterfall is completely underground and a truly magical work of Mother Nature that needs to be seen to be believed. Located in Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee, Ruby Falls cascades down a staggering 145 feet, making it the tallest underground waterfall in the United States. The one-mile cave walk will take you through geological formations that make you think you’re on another planet. The cave surrounding the waterfall was formed over 200 million years ago as water slowly eroded the limestone, producing one of the most incredible natural wonders in Tennessee. Tours are given daily, and it’s easily one of the most unique adventures you can have while exploring Chattanooga!

grounds for sculpture

Get Creative At The Northeast’s Largest Sculpture Park

Tucked away at a 42-acre park in Hamilton, New Jersey, Grounds for Sculpture is the largest sculpture park in the northeast, featuring dozens of paths that lead to unique art installations. It was founded in 1992 and opened to the public in 2000, and it’s never quite the same experience twice. New sculptures are frequently brought in, and not all exhibits are permanent.

Pemaquid Point Light

A Historic Lighthouse Perched Above The Atlantic

The rocky coastline of Maine has been a dangerous place for seagoing vessels over the centuries. Hundreds of shipwrecks attest to the hazards of navigating its shoals and reefs. As a result, more than 60 lighthouses were constructed along Maine's coast, inlets, and islands. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is a landmark of the state's early seafaring days that remains an active tower for today's ships. The lighthouse is featured on Maine's state quarter, and the exposed bedrock around the tower, combined with the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, makes for a jaw-dropping vista. The U.S. Coast Guard owns the lighthouse and accompanying structures and operates them as Pemaquid Point Lighthouse Park, open to the public from May to October. Guests can climb the tower and also visit the former keeper's house, which is now home to the Fishermen's Museum at Pemaquid. The museum contains displays and artifacts from the lighthouse's long history, as well as local maritime history. An apartment within the house is also available for weekly rentals, so you, too, can keep a vigil for passing ships.

MOUNT WASHINGTON COG RAILWAY

All Aboard To A Picturesque Mountain Paradise

Standing at an elevation of 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest point in the northeastern United States. Since the first ascent of the mountain in the 17th century, it's been a place of exploration, science, mystery, tragedy, and triumph. It's also well-known for its erratic weather. Located in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains, many make the strenuous hike to the summit on foot, but the Mount Washington Cog Railway offers a unique route to the top that is accessible to everyone. "The Cog," as it is more commonly called, is the first-ever cog railway in the world — and also the second steepest. It was built by New Hampshire resident and engineer Sylvester Marsh and opened in 1868. Over its three-mile distance, the railway climbs approximately 3,600 vertical feet up the west side of the mountain. The ride affords ever-changing views of the spectacular scenery of the Presidential Range. At the top, visitors can explore the summit of Mount Washington and its panoramic vistas.

Crystal Mill

A Breathtaking Landmark That Blends Scenery With History

Precariously perched above the Crystal River in western Colorado is the Crystal Mill, one of the most photographed landmarks in the state. Majestic mountains and flourishing aspen groves frame the 130-year-old mill, creating a setting that is undeniably lovely, especially when changing leaves bathe the surrounding landscape in vibrant hues of gold during the fall season. There is no scenery comparable to this anywhere else in the country. The Crystal Mill has a fascinating history as well. It was built in 1893 to utilize the Crystal River below to power its air compressor inside, which in turn powered the machinery within two nearby silver mines. Once those mines were closed, the mill was abandoned. Later, the Crystal Mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and has since become a bucket list destination for photographers and tourists alike due to its pristine surroundings. A note of caution: a four-wheel drive vehicle or ATV is necessary to navigate the narrow, rocky road to and from the Crystal Mill, but the trek is more than worth the destination.

Cathedral Gorge State Park

A Geologic Wonder That Transports You To Another World

One of Nevada’s first state parks, Cathedral Gorge State Park is a dramatic geologic preserve nestled along a narrow valley in the southeastern reaches of the state. Beginning tens of millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions from the nearby Caliente Caldera Complex deposited hundreds of feet of ash into layers that weathered over time into the Bentonite clay formations seen in the park today. Since it was established in 1935, Cathedral Gorge State Park remains one of Nevada’s most fascinating and lesser-known geologic gems. Photographers will find that the vibrant buff-colored formations make for impressive compositions filled with compelling visual elements, particularly in the morning and evening hours. Cathedral Gorge State Park also offers camping, picnicking, nature studies, hiking, and more to its visitors. Miles of hiking and walking trails within the park will lead you through awe-inspiring columns, caves, and spires on a journey akin to being transported to another planet. This mesmerizing natural wonder is worth at least a full day of exploration and appreciation — but we think a weekend trip is best.
