Native American dwellings, or huge underground fortress oceanic network: the United States have much more to offer than just the geysers in Yellowstone.
1 Sequoia (California)
Who would have thought that California, the most populous state of the United States, could contain an unknown site, a "secret" park? While most nature lovers spin to Yosemite, the best informed prefer the Sequoia National Park in the south of the massif of the Sierra Nevada. It owes its low attendance to its difficult access, 84% of the park is totally wild and accessible only on foot or horseback. But, among other wonders await these giants of the plant world are the giant sequoias (up to 85 m in height) and the highest point in the United States outside Alaska, Mount Whitney, at 4421 m altitude .
July and August are the high season, and campsites appear dizzying rates. The months from September to November are very nice, less crowded, but there is a risk of snow.

2 Gates of the Arctic (Alaska)
Alaska remains one of the most beautiful natural areas in the world, and Gates of the Arctic National Park is perhaps the most beautiful American national park. Wild, isolated and located entirely above the Arctic Circle, it covers no less than 39,460 square kilometers. The visit is not a walk in the park: the park is home to any road, trail, or infrastructure, and the only visitor center is located off of the Dalton Highway, near the town of Coldfoot . Surrounded by torrents of hungry grizzly bears and towering peaks of the Brooks Mountains, you've got to know rather you cope in the wild.
3 Bryce Canyon (Utah)
At 330 km northeast of Las Vegas, the spectacular scenery is light years kitsch flashy of the city of a thousand casinos. In Bryce Canyon National Park, the stone arches and hoodoos adorned with red and bright orange, moreover, have nothing to envy the neon of Sin City. Often ignored in favor of national parks, Zion and Grand Canyon, more accessible, it is nevertheless a masterpiece of nature. Its centerpiece is the canyon that gives it its name: 19 km long, 5 km wide and up to 240 m deep, it is dotted with fragile rocky pinnacles rising to 60 m in the valley: a show magic Las Vegas will never equal.

4 Shenandoah (Virginia)
Prior to the creation in the mid 1930 Shenandoah National Park, this small green area in Virginia was largely reserved for agriculture and covered with apple trees. A bucolic calm still reigns on the Skyline Drive, 169 km long, the main axis through the park. Here stand the gentle peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, modest hills under the gigantism of the United States, culminating Hawksbill Mountain at 1,235 m altitude. Shenandoah Park is the perfect place to relax, hike and camp in the countryside on lush pastures in the shade of towering oaks. Simple pleasures are sometimes a luxury.
