List of the most beautiful places in America, as ranked by beauty lovers, Americans, and avid travelers. When compared to other countries and continents, America is relatively new. It doesn’t have the thousands of years of recorded history and colonization that most foreign countries do.Therefore, there are still plenty of natural wonders that are available to be explored throughout the entire country.
In the United States, there was a political initiative in the early 1900s that ensured that many forested and wildlife areas were protected as national parks. The U.S. has 59 national parks, many of which are among the most beautiful spots in the world, partially in thanks to the National Parks Service.
While national parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite are some of the most breathtaking spots in the U.S., there are many other nature sites that are considered natural wonders, such as the Grand Canyon in Arizona and the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Other beautiful sites were man made, such as the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
