Surprisingly overlooked
as an adventure travel destination, the United States actually has some
of the most striking natural features and landscapes on the planet.
This is particularly true of the western half of the country. From the
sand dunes of the Pacific, across the Nevada and Arizona deserts, through
the jaw dropping intensity of the Grand Canyon, to the majestic Rocky
Mountains and the enchanting National Parks within them, you would think
it couldn't get any better, but it does. There is also a unique culture,
both present and historic, that is far different from other western
countries, and some of the friendliest people you are likely to meet.
