From the ancient Joshua Trees to the Golden Gate Bridge we promise you’ll never have time to be bored. Traverse the sandstone giants of Zion, wander through the hoodoos in Bryce Canyon, feel incredibly small atop the rim of the Grand Canyon, stand at the lowest point of elevation in the U.S. in Death Valley, gaze up in wonder at the tallest trees in the world in Sequoia National Park, and hike through the surreal landscapes of Yosemite Valley. With both cities and nature on the menu, this might be just the escape from reality you’re looking for.
