Arches National Park
Arches National Park to me is one of Mother Nature's most elaborate art exhibits. Its mindblowing sandstone monoliths and arches are sure to leave a lasting impression. Be sure to check out Delicate Arch, the symbol of Utah.

Bryce Canyon National Park
The hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park are some of the most fascinating formations I have seen. Hiking among them on the Navajo-Wall Street Loop will make you feel like a tiny ant crawling through a majestic sancastle.

Glacier National Park
I love Glaciar National Park for its spectacular rocks and pristine mountain lakes. It is mindblowing to see its stunning cliffs and try to imagine they were carved by glaciers. This is yet another US National Park that was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

North Rim
Every corner of the Grand Canyon inspires me beyond words, but my most favorite area is the North Rim. It is just as spectacular as the popular South Rim, but it is a lot less crowded. The visitor center, Bright Angel Point and Cape Royal Trail offer unbelieavable views. It is no surprise the Grand Canyon is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Grand Teton National Park
Simply put, I love Grand Teton National Park for its stunning beauty. One of my all-time favorite views is here - gorgeous Jenny Lake with the jagged Teton peaks in the background. The boat ride across Jenny Lake is also an incredible experience.

Olympic National Park
When I think of Olympic National Park, I imagine fog, crashing waves, and mystic-looking rocks rising from the ocean. I did read somewhere that it is, in fact, one of the wettest places on the entire continent. Don't expect to get much sunshine here, just embrace the fog and the haunting beauty it brings to this place. Olympic National Park is a rainforest, and another designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rocky Mountain National Park
I love so many things about Rocky Mountain National Parks: green forests, vast alpine tundra, and stunning views of rocky mountain peaks. However, my favorites here are the calm and pristine mountain lakes, and especially the trail to Nymph-Dream-Emerald Lakes. Driving along Trail Ridge Road is also a MUST here.

Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone is one of the most famous national parks in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I love it dearly for the incredible variety of natural features it has to offer. Here, you can discover hot springs with bright, vibrant colors, splashing geysers, rainbows over crashing waterfalls and the colossal Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Then, there is the wildlife: the bears, the bison and so many more incredible creatures. Yellowstone is a place of epic proportions and epic experiences; there is simply no other way to describe it!

Yosemite National Park
The sheer size of Yosemite's granite cliffs takes my breath away every time. This is a place of hair-raising, vertical drop offs and stunning views. Yosemite is also home to one of the most monumental rocks in the world, El Capitan. It rises about 3,000 feet above the Yosemite Valley floor. No wonder Yosemite has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Zion National Park
I absolutely love the giant, iron-rich, rusty-colored rocks of Zion National Park. One of the most unusual things you can do here is hike the Narrows. The trail is actually the Virgin River, so you will need a pair of sturdy water shoes for this one. Get ready for a wet and epic adventure between impressive and ever narrowing rock walls.
