]]>In fact, the very fact that it isn’t as well-known as other National Parks is one of the things that adds to its appeal, as it’s less crowded and has more breathing room than places like Rocky Mountain National Park.
But that’s not all that Mesa Verde has to offer. In addition to being a National Park, Mesa Verde is also a World Heritage Site, filled with well-preserved homes and artifacts of the Ancestral Pueblo people.
It’s also a great place for bicycle riders, with trails that are some of the best for mountain bike riding in all of Colorado. Maintained by the local Kokopelli Bike Club, there are fitting trails for every ability and level.
The grounds of the park also have museums, vineyards, lots of dining options, a variety of wildlife (including several endangered species), and campgrounds, so there’s no shortage of things you can enjoy.

]]>One stop that is an absolute must on any trip to Madagascar is the breathtaking Avenue of the Baobabs, an unforgettable dirt road located in the west of the country between the towns of Morondava and Belon’i Tsiribihina.
This road is located within the boundaries of the Kirindy Mitea National Park, making it protected land that cannot be destroyed. It is famous for the towering baobab trees, one of the most important bits of native flora on the island of Madagascar, that line either side of the road.
These trees, which are endemic to the island, have been found by scientists to be nearly 3,000 years old. They tower approximately 100 feet above the small dirt road in a line on each side of the road for a stretch that lasts for about a kilometer, showing off a breathtaking example of these mighty trees.
Needless to say, the Avenue of the Baobabs is a must-see on any road trip in Madagascar. Not only will you see this amazing sight, but you will also have a chance to connect with the natural wonders of this unique island.

]]>In addition to its frequently-visited beaches, Florida is also home to various natural areas that you might be surprised by.
Here are three natural treasures that you must check out if you have a trip planned to Florida.
One of the places you must visit in Florida to see nature at its finest is Everglades National Park. Boasting a tropical swamp ecosystem that is unique in the world, visitors to this park often see native species such as alligators and great blue herons.
The Keys are a barrier island chain that extends into the sea from the southern tip of Florida. It’s full of natural wonders, especially the colorful and striking coral reef that you can discover while snorkeling there (the only one in the US). Don’t skip its untouched, virgin white sand beaches, either.
Further north in the state of Florida is Apalachicola National Forest, a protected nature reserve that hosts one of the largest southern pine forests in existence. Here, you can see all kinds of native fauna as well as wetland ecosystems and curious landscapes.

]]>Anyone is able to visit the park with plenty of affordable homes to rent close-by. The trails at the park are almost never crowded so visitors can enjoy a vacation of self-reflection or quality time with loved ones. The desert provides a serene landscape scattered with ancient rock forms and colossal cactus. Filled with hiking trails and overlooks, this park also is home to several human-made art installations.
Monumental sculptures scatter the desert dispersed among natural stone clusters. Noah Purifoy’s Outdoor Museum provides an immersive art experience for visitors and locals alike. Noah Purifoy, the founder of the outdoor museum, was a sculptural artist best known for his celebration of found objects, in complex assemblages. The outdoor museum has a range of sculptures that are constantly shifting mainly composed of recycled appliances.
Best of the beauties of Joshua Tree though is the night sky. After the sun sets, the wide and flat desert is blanketed with darkness and brilliant constellations.
