From snowcapped mountains and roaring rivers to sandy beaches and ocean cliffsides, the United States is home to some of the most magnificent destinations. Of course, there's a reason it's known as "America the Beautiful!" There are so many beautiful places in the USA that it could take a lifetime to discover them.
In 1895, Katherine Lee Bates penned the anthem "America the Beautiful" to describe this country's awe-inspiring, unforgettable beauty. Her words, "spacious skies, amber waves of grain, and purple mountain majesties," say it all. The United States' diverse, natural beauty is unparalleled.
Bates' words remain true today as the mountains, oceans, forests, and prairies remain mostly unchanged. Some of the country's greatest natural treasures are designated national parks and protected by the National Park Service. These gorgeous lands will forever be open to the public and protected to ensure the world's future citizens can enjoy them as well.
