Niagara Falls

The most famous waterfall in the world, located on the Niagara River, connecting two of the Great Lakes of Erie and Ontario on the border of America and Canada.

Golden Gate Bridge

The most famous and beautiful bridge in the US is the Golden Gate in San Francisco, 1280 long.

Hawaiian Islands

Hawaii - 50-th state of America, one of the most beautiful and charming.

One of the most interesting places in Hawaii is the Diamond Head (Diamond Head) volcanic crater near Honolulu. Its diameter is 1060 m, and the height is 230 m. Calcareous spar crystals in frozen lava shine so brightly in the sun that English sailors in the 19th century decided that diamonds sparkled, for which they gave the name to the crater. During the world wars, this beautiful place was used as a natural fortress.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone is one of America's largest national parks in Wyoming. The popularity and uniqueness of this place was provided by more than 200 geysers releasing puffs of steam from sulfur springs.

One of the most interesting and beautiful thermal springs of Yellowstone is the lake of Morning Glory. Initially, the water in it was azure, but crowds of tourists were so littered with coins and other memorable garbage on its mouth that this caused uneven heating of the water and the formation of microorganisms on the surface, which painted the edge of the geyser yellow.

Grand Canyon

Another delightfully beautiful place in America is the Grand Canyon National Reserve in Arizona, the largest river canyon in the world. For Americans and guests of the country are offered numerous tours of the reserve, the best of them - helicopter tours and rafting on the Colorado to the place of its exit to the plain.
