Some landmarks in the U.S. are more popular than others, and today we bring you three that you may not even know about but that are definitely worth a visit.

White Sands National Monument

Unless you’re from New Mexico, we doubt you know about this magnificent place. White Sands National Monument is an incredible sight that’s never crowded and remains in pristine condition. The dessert basically looks like snow that never melts and it’s something you need to see in person.

Lake Pontchartrain Causeway

The Golden Gate Bridge may be impressive, but it’s not the longest bridge in the U.S. The longest bridge is Lake Pontchartrain Causeway that connects New Orleans and Mandeville, yet not many people are visiting it. It even holds the Guinness World Record so we believe it’s well worth a visit.

Petrified Forest National Park

There’s another impressive work of nature in Arizona besides the Grand Canyon. Petrified Forest National Park is truly epic with its colorful rocks, fossilized wood that’s over 200 million years old, and the abandoned village of Puerco Pueblo. The place is mesmerizing and looks like something out of a sci-fi movie rather than a real thing.
