You don't need to go very far to find stunning natural beauty in the United States, but some places are just magical. The country is approximately 3.8 million square miles in size, so it should come as no surprise that it's home to some spectacular scenery, but sights like the Grand Canyon, the Mendenhall Ice Caves, and the soaring peaks of the Smoky Mountains never fail to meet even the highest expectations. Traveling abroad is always worthwhile, but before you hop on a plane to a different country, consider visiting one of these incredible national landmarks instead.
