      I agree. I was born in Arizona but raised in Michigan. I’m absolutely not a lover of the hot weather, much preferring a Michigan winter. But the absolute vastness and silence of some of those remote desert areas, especially at night when the millions of visible stars reach down to the horizon, is definitely something to be experienced.

There's a reason why old farts like me retire in Arizona. Even though Bisbee does get its share of snow, I'm not having to worry about shoveling my way out and falling all over the place. The topography here is so vast in such a small area, and the sun sets are a daily work of art. And to say Bisbee is laid back would be an understatement. Sorry for the novel.

Driving through the area, with shadowy strange formations in the dark, while jagged thunderbolts tore open the sky and lit up everything was one of the most incredible natural sights I've witnessed.

    This was more an underrated places to see. So any better areas Yellowstone Grand Canyon, Death Valley,
    The Southwest rugged rocks and deserts, can not come close to being appreciated unless you actually see them in person. This video had so many for a reason and it desensitized people to the actual beauty. I always thought Grand Canyon big deal a hole in the ground. When I got there it was dark, the next morning when I awoke I stayed at El Tovar Hotel so close the dinning room view only showed the view no land. I walked out and the old cliché it did take my breath away, Amazing! Its a sin they dont show the Sunrise and even more the sunsets in those areas. Purple orange fire red, turquoise, green all in a layer with a yellowish glow of the sun, probably the most hypnotic things you will ever see. That night I stared at it until the colors vanished, I missed my dinner reservation had to have been staring over an hour easily

    California and Nevada are huge states and cover more than just "warm" climates. When they said Lake Tahoe hosted the Olympics, they meant the Winter Olympics. Big Sur is more like 60-70 degrees instead of 70-80 since the Pacific Ocean on the West Coast is a lot colder than the Atlantic on the East.

    I remember the first time I drove Big Sur. I live in Santa Barbara and I was visiting my family in Monterey. I decided to take highway 1 back after taking i5 and 101 north. The day was very foggy, I'm talking 20-30 yard visibility, going around hilly turns. Figured it would be like that most of the drive. Well I come around one more turn past a cliffside and come out looking over that shoreline backed up to those massive cliffs, the sky just opened up and sun poured in. It was like being welcomed to heaven for a moment. People were flying kites and wind surfing. My jaw literally dropped. The most unbelievable view I've had in California, took my breath away.

    Martha's Vineyard IS an island, just off the southern coast of Massachusetts. It has a very interesting "religious retreat", that was popular in the late 1800's. The "retreat" was only used in the summer and the "homes" were, originally, just canvas tents. Later, the visitors turned those "homes" into wooden buildings. The buildings are now multicolored and look like small, ginger bread houses. The Kennedy's had an estate on the western part of the island. The two, main towns, are on the Eastern side. Expensive to stay there but not outrageous.

    As their video says, Lake Tahoe is on the border of California and Nevada. This is important because California has a high income tax rate and Nevada has NO state income tax. What this means is that lots of wealthy Californians have homes on the Nevada shore in places like Incline Village where they claim residence and avoid the state tax in California. Also, the town of State Line, Nevada, which is actually next to the border between the 2 states, is the home of multiple casino hotels which are legal in Nevada but not California. This is part of what makes Tahoe so popular because the casinos provide what Daz is seeking--sophisticated evening entertainment, drinking opportunities, gambling and so on to enjoy after a day water skiing in summer or snow skiing in winter.

    Just a legal note - drones are illegal in National Parks and many public lands so be careful. So are selfie sticks.
    Antelope canyon is STUNNING. There is Upper and Lower canyons. Lower is more accessible, but Upper is less traveled and you can pay for a photography tour and they clear out the canyon several times so you can get photos. Also the place where beams of sunlight shine down through the crevices. The sand does blow in from above though, so bring a windbreaker with hood.
    I hiked up Sand Dunes some time ago, took about 2 hours to get to the top of the highest dune from the parking lot. When I got back, my shoes AND socks were full of sand. Wear flip flops and sunscreen. I was burnt to a crisp that evening.
    Lake Tahoe is a mountain lake, at 6264ft elevation, so it gets cold year round.
    Near Monument Valley along US Route 163 near Mexican Hat Utah is the Forrest Gump Viewpoint where they filmed that scene in the movie. It is marked on Google maps.

    Antelope Canyon is the place with the wavy, smooth, colorful walls, where you can hike through its slot canyons. There was a young American who hiked through slot canyons by himself, and as he tried to bypass a large rock blocking his path, the rock shifted and trapped his arm against the wall. He was stuck there for days, until he realized his arm was turning gangrene and he was going to die if he didn't free himself. He deliberately broke his arm using torque, then sawed it off at the elbow with a pocket knife and pliers (he carried a pocket multi-tool). Then he had to repel 65 yards down a sheer wall, and hiked 6 miles, until he ran into a family from the Netherlands who were touring the area. One ran for help while the others gave him food and water. It was quite an ordeal.

    The Badlands is in the same general area as Mt. Rushmore, the Black Hills, and Custer State Park.
    Glacier Bay N.P. is a short ferry ride from the capital of Juneau. Another N.P. up there which is equally stunning is Kenai (KEEN-eye) Fjords.
    Antelope Canyon is one of many jawdropping places on the Najavo Res.
    Golden Gate Bridge goes to Marin County (pronounced muh-RIN, rather than MARE-in).
    Across the border in Canada is the twin park of Glacier, namely, Waterton Lakes. The 4 animals shown were a mule deer, a marmot, a herd of Rocky Mtn. bighorns in the distance, and a mtn. goat up close.

    I used to prefer the greenery of The Smoky Mountains until I went out west. The desert must be experienced. It is now easily my favorite. - Once example is the painted desert and Petrified Forest National Park. I never get tired of it. There are also stunning areas between these national parks. Also National Monuments are must sees. Some of them are better than National Parks.

    I've had the liberty of visiting Reno, Nevada several times. It's about a 45 minute drive to Lake Tahoe. I was in Reno in February once, when Tahoe City had 6 feet of snow, in one day. Watched the news the next day and saw snow plows going through snow that was 2 feet above the tops of the plows. But, it is such an amazing place, in the Summer.

    Grew up in and around Savannah (and went to SCAD). It's a town-owned by artists and is very much European-feeling, as it was largely built by some of the original English settlers. It's the only place in the U.S. outside of the northeast that has the pseudo-colonial feeling while you're there - but with much better food.
    btw: all the big red cliff areas look similar because they are all in the same area of the U.S. and pretty close to one another.

    The speed limit on the Blue Ridge Parkway is about 35 to 45 mph. The park rangers will ticket you if you go too fast. And anyway you will want to see the beauty around you. I live about 10 miles from an exit to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and I was on it yesterday. The leaves are just starting to change color, but it is still beautiful.

    I knew when I saw the title that they were going to recycle a lot of the same places you just saw in the 25 Best National Parks. Actually the whole focus of this video seemed off. They mostly showed natural wonders and parks but just randomly tossed in a city (Savannah) and Key West (also a city but a natural beauty as well). A lot of these videos use the same stock footage and thus the same locations, but if there are any that take a deeper dive in more detail there is a LOT more to see of the US than just this. Maybe watch some Strictly Dumpling videos...it's about food, but he usually delves into some of the local culture as well.

    My grandfather owned a cabin right off the blue ridge parkway in NC, overlooked a lake and some mountains, I loved it up there. In the morning you’d wake up in a cloud, the elevation was so high and during the summer it never got too hot. I still go up there sometimes, but the cabin was sold off years ago, but I know that place like the back of my hand, all kinds of cool places and hidden waterfalls. There’s a small town called Little Switzerland with a lot of history and the best bookstore I’ve ever been in, many first editions and books you can’t hardly find in many places.

    That says a lot living a quqrter mile from the Dana Point Hardor referred to as the most romantic harbor on the west cost, The California gold coast offerers photo opps everywhere you look.
