an extinct volcano, Mount Mazama, and
lava cliffs rise to heights of up to 2,000
feet around the lake.
Oregon
Cannon Beach The beach
It offers a wide stretch of sand and
spectacular views of jagged coastal
rocks. The largest of these is known
as Hay Stack Rock, thought to be one
of the largest monoliths in the world.
Nearby Seaside is another popular
resort town, close to beaches and surf
breaks.

Hoover Dam
Built during the Great
Depression as a way to
provide jobs, Hoover Dam is a
marvel of modern
engineering, Unfortunately,
more than 100 workers died
during its construction, but
today the dam is a major
tourist attraction. It attracts
more than one million visitors
every year.
NEVADA
The Valley of Fire
It covers more than 42,000 acres of
otherworldly sandstone formations
created from giant sand dunes that
solidified here nearly 150 million years
ago. Human occupation dates to 3,000
years ago. This is a rugged landscape,
perfect for hiking and wildlife viewing.
Just be careful in the summer when
temperatures can climb to a toasty 120
degrees Fahrenheit. The park is open
year-round.
Lake Tahoe
A massive two-million-year-old
freshwater lake high in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains and half in California, Lake
Tahoe is a blast of amazing clear blue
water surrounded by high mountains.
Originally inhabited by the Washoe
people, the area is now home to a number
of ski resorts as well as boating, fishing,
water skiing, mountain biking, and hiking
activities.

breathtaking parts of North Dakota is
definitely here. The magnificent
canyons and valleys are full of color

and will never fail to impress.
White Butte
This is the highest point in North Dakota. The
white-faced walls of this butte stand tall
among the prairie around it. The elevation of
White Butte is 3,506 ft above sea level. The
carved walls of the butte were created over
centuries from gradual erosion and resulted
in the towering form it is today.

NEW MEXICO
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
It is hidden mostly underground. Carved from limestone
deposited in an ancient sea, the alien underground landscape is
one of the most famous New Mexico tourist attractions. The Park
Service offers self-guided audio tours and ranger-led tours.
Visitors can also experience bat tours, trips to specific caves and
walks through the outlandish geological formations.
Bandelier National Monument
Bandelier National Monument is a 33,677-acre preserve
encompassing some of the most dramatic volcanic landscapes and
archaeological ruins in the state. Former home of ancestral Pueblo
people, the area was occupied from 1150 to 1600AD. Visitors can
take advantage of a fine museum, camping options, an
interpretative trail and excellent back-country hiking.
White Sands National Monument
It lies in the Tularosa Basin, a northern offshoot
of the Chihuahua Desert and is surrounded by
rugged mountains. Here, gleaming white
gypsum sand has built up into an extraordinary
landscape of dunes up to 60 ft high, which are
constantly displaced by the wind.

The Monument Rocks were one of the
first landmarks to be declared a
National Natural Landmark. The large

possible to see fossilized sea life
embedded in the chalk.

It features many captivating rock
formations called ‘hoodoos’. These
strange formations are formed
through uneven erosion and
weathering, giving the rocks the
appearance of mushrooms.

unknown to tourists, they are
popular with locals for fishing,
hiking and canoeing. The falls are
60 ft wide with a short 5 ft drop.
