Nature Places Map
Nature in the USA:
Niagara Falls
If you're driving, park at the state park instead of the attractions. It's way cheaper and you can walk through the gorgeous park to the falls. Just be ready for a bit of a hike.

Old Faithful
Explore the trails around the geyser afterward. The boardwalks can get crowded, but walking a little further takes you to hidden gems and fewer people!
Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary
I suggest packing snacks and water. The food options were limited and a bit pricey, so having a little picnic made my day much better!
Glacier National Park
Pack layers! Weather changes fast – sun, rain, even snow! I didn’t believe it at first, but people were right about that. Be ready for anything!
Download offline maps and hike info. Cell service can be spotty, and it’s super handy to have a backup plan. I got lost once because of this!
Central Park
Check out the food carts instead of dining in pricey restaurants nearby. I got a delicious pretzel and a soda for under $10, whereas the sit-down places were double that!
Bryant Park
Millennium Park
Don't skip the Crown Fountain – it’s such a unique art installation! I thought it was just a fountain, but it's a whole interactive experience. Plus, kids love it!
Bring some snacks and drinks. The park is beautiful but food prices nearby can be a bit steep. I packed a little picnic and it made for a perfect afternoon.
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can swing it. The crowds on weekends can get pretty insane, especially near the Bean. I went on a Tuesday and it was so much less hectic.
Balboa Park
Don't miss the Botanical Building, it's beautiful and totally free! Perfect for some great pics and a little peaceful escape from the busyness
Niagara Falls State Park
Luray Caverns
If you can, check out the nearby gardens after your cavern visit. It's a nice way to relax and cool off, especially after that underground vibe.
