When Americans think of unforgettable, sometimes exotic, trips, they often think about Italy, New Zealand, or the Caribbean. While those are all beautiful places well worth visiting, some of the best places to go are right here in the United States. And you probably don’t even know they exist, which is why we put together the greatest list of the best kept secrets in every single state.
Alaska - Kachemak Bay
Arizona - Navajo Nation
Arkansas - Glory Hole Falls
The questionable name aside, Glory Hole Falls in Ozone, Arkansas is unique to say the least. A creek literally flows through a clean hole in the ceiling of a cave. You'll walk away from a trip to Glory Hole with great photos, a fun memory, and more innuendos than you'll know what to do with. Read more

Georgia - Wormsloe Plantation
Hawaii - Haleakalā National Park Bamboo Forest

Illinois - Garden of the Gods Wilderness
Located in the Shawnee National Forest, Garden of the Gods is on over 3,000 acres of land with the nearest town several miles away. So what makes it so incredible? Well, beginning 320 million years ago, rain and wind began chiseling away at sedimentary rock, creating mind-blowing formations... a stunning series of sandstone sculptures that can only be named something as fitting as "Garden of the Gods."

Kansas - Sommerset Hall Cafe
While most of this list is comprised of natural wonders, Kansas has a secret that's a little different. And it comes in the shape of a pie. Because it is a pie. Sommerset Hall Cafe is in Dover, Kansas and it has what's considered the best pie in America, according to Good Morning America. Norma Grubb, the cafe's pie-maker, made over 10,000 pies for the cafe by the time she retired at age 89. In 2011, Norma sadly passed away but her legacy lives on in our hearts.. and stomachs. Give their pie a try. 🙂
Utah - Gilgal Sculpture Garden
The creation of Thomas Battersby Child, Jr., the Gilgal Sculpture Garden is made up of unusual stone sculptures - 12 original designs and over 70 more engraved with literature and poetry. It's a sight to behold, featuring such work as the Sphinx and Joseph Smith's sculptured head. More information
