Half Dome
Noted for its distinct shape, this granite dome-shaped structure is located in the eastern part of Yosemite Valley in the Yosemite National Park. Three sides of the face are smooth and rounded, while one side appears sheared off … giving it the appearance of a dome that was sliced in half. More than 4,700 feet high, the summit was first conquered in 1875. Today, adventurers can endure a grueling hike to the summit, or take one of several rock climbing routes. Have you ever been?

Charyn Canyon
It would be really easy to mistake this location for the Grand Canyon in the US. While Charyn Canyon is grand, it’s actually located some 7,000 miles east of Arizona’s natural wonder. It’s found in the Charyn (chair-un) National Park of Kazakhstan, and has earned the nickname of the Grand Canyon’s little brother. While its fiery red sandstone formations and raging river stretch for some 56 miles, that still comes up short against the elder Canyon, which stretches for some 277 miles. Another difference is that unlike the Grand Canyon, it little brother is not heavily commercialized … meaning visitors often have to bring their own food and water.

Crater Lake
The national park in Oregon is named after this amazing lake. At a depth of more than 1,900 feet, the lake nearly fills the caldera that dates back some 7700 years ago, after the volcano Mount Mazama collapsed. It’s the deepest lake in the US, and the second deepest in North America. In addition to offering a spectacular landscape, the lake is noted for its water clarity and for its deep blue color.

Torres del Paine National Park
You’ll find a vast array of spectacular sights including glaciers, lakes, mountains and rivers at this large park in Chilean Patagonia. The park contains the Cordillera Paine, a small group of mountains. Three distinctive granite peaks that have been measured to rise nearly 3,000 meters (9,843 ft) serve as the park’s iconic centerpiece. It’s one of Chile’s most popular parks, attracting more than a quarter-million visitors each year.

Kruger National Park
Located in South Africa and covers nearly 5 million acres … and contains the more species of large mammals than any other game reserve found in Africa. The Big Five game animals all reside here -- Elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopards, and lions call the park home … Along with hippos, giraffes, Nile crocodiles and more than 500 species of birds. That provides visitors the chance to get about as close to the epic wildlife as possible.

Grand Prismatic Spring
This looks like the work of an artist who created a psychedelic image. But it’s a work that exists in real life and was created by Nature. The Grand Prismatic Spring is located in Yellowstone National Park. Did you know it’s one of many hydrothermal features created by a dormant supervolcano that exists underneath the area? Measuring some 370 feet in diameter and going around 160 feet deep, it’s the largest hot spring found in the US … and ranks as the third largest hot spring worldwide. Temperatures can reach about 160 degrees fahrenheit. The vivid blue coloration in the center is the result of blue light being scattered by particles suspended within the water.

Grand Canyon
Measuring some 277 miles long, 18 miles wide in some places, and about a mile deep, the famous national park in Arizona more than lives up to its name. The South Rim tends to attract the most visitors, and includes features like the Bright Angel Trail, and the Desert Watchtower. The North Rim is more secluded and attracts hardcore hikers and backpackers. All areas of the park offer so much spectacular scenery,that it would be difficult to take a bad picture there!

The Great Wildebeest Migration
One of the most amazing sights on Earth, happens every year at the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It plays host to more than a million wildebeest charging across its 5,700 square miles in search of better grazing lands. And those animals are accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles. Some people have called this the greatest show on earth. Big cats, bush elephants and buffalo are also some of the larger critters found in the park.
