2. Horseshoe Bend in Arizona
Horseshoe Bend is exactly what it sounds like, a bend in the shape of a horseshoe in the Colorado River near Page, Arizona. The sight can be viewed from the cliff above the hovers at 4,200 feet, 1000 feet above the river. The unique sight is within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area where there are many other attractions to witness, such as Antelope Canyon.

3. Glacier National Park in Montana
This breathtaking park covers over 1 million acres including shimmering glaciers, lakes, mountain ranges, and a variety of plant and animal life. Another draw is the history and culture of the Park because Native Americans were the first to inhabit it. Glacier National Park borders Waterton National Park in Canada, and the two parks together were the first in the world to be designated an International Peace Park. In result, the parks are also considered World Heritage Sites.

4. Thors Well in Oregon
Thors Well is a natural wonder that appears as if it came out of a comic book. It is a sinkhole within Cape Perpetua on Oregon's coast. The power of the ocean tides and waves surrounding the sinkhole pumps jets of water into the air making the well appear alive. It is recommended not to stand to close to the well when viewing because the strong tides make it dangerous.
To see Thors Well in action:
5. Grand Prismatic Spring in Wyoming
The Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. The spring lies within the Yellowstone National Park in the Midway Geyser Basin. The reason for its name is due to the prism of colors that is created by the dispersion of light making it a beautiful and unique place to visit.
