We'd be remiss not to mention one of the largest alpine lakes in North America. Just west of Carson City, this lake is a popular destination for travelers. It's no mystery why it's also one of the most highly-photographed attractions in the U.S.
Nestled in the scenic Adirondacks of New York awaits a relatively little-known alpine lake called Heart Lake. Beautiful all year round, this attraction is especially breathtaking in the summer and fall.
