Some of the most important issues that anyone might want to tackle before packing their backpacks is that of where to travel. While it may seem quite obvious, some first-timers-and even repeat travelers-may not know the best places to visit.

Here is a list of some of the top favorites for travelers everywhere.

The Grand Canyon
: Located in close proximity to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon is a natural wonder that a few other states of the USA can boast of. Located in Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park, it is one of the marvels of nature. It is considered by scientists to have been carved by the Colorado River over a period of six million years. It was initially inhabited by the Native American Pueblo people who lived in its caves. It was also considered a holy site by other native tribes and was used as a pilgrimage venue. This is where to travel to whether your interest is just admiring the beauty of nature, exploring Native American life before the arrival of Europeans or just to satisfy your scientific curiosity.

Las Vegas: This is no longer just the “sin city” that it is. There are now many hotels and resorts that are considered family-friendly and that you can enjoy with your kids. Lake Mead, the largest man-made lake in the USA, is also just a little over 20 miles from here. Another place to see while in Las Vegas is the Hoover Dam, which is located just 30 miles away from Las Vegas.

Hawaii
: This island state is often associated with pleasure. It is the perfect location to travel to if you are interested in enjoying the blue waters of the sea or the scenic and beautiful resorts. Alongside Hawaii, you can also visit any of its five attached islands including Maui (which is popular for its waterfalls and volcanoes) and Lanai (known for its miraculous-looking rock formations.) Oahu Island is where to travel to if you want to experience the rich cultural mix of Honolulu (Hawaii’s capital.) If the unembellished beauty of nature and its elements is what you seek, then Hawaii id is the place to be.
