26. Death Valley National Park
Where: California
Why We Love It: You had probably heard of Death Valley before and thought this is a place you’d never want to go. However, this is one of the first places you want to travel to because of its one-of-a-kind landscapes.
Death Valley is one of America’s hottest and driest places. Even if you are not one for hot and dry, the trip will be worth it. While you’re here, make sure you head to Zabriskie Point to watch the sunset. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you just can’t miss.
