1. Bristlecone pines
California State

The twisted trunk of the oldest pine in the world, combined with the empty landscape of the mountains, will definitely be remembered. The Methuselah tree is almost 4800 years old.
This natural wonder is located one hour east of Bishop, California. If you enjoy extreme relaxation, then take a tour of Silver canyon road.
2. Grand Canyon
State: Arizona
The total cost of the week for two: $ 2 763
Even if you have seen hundreds of photographs of this most famous landscape, you should still see it with your own eyes. You can stroll by South rimbut if you want to get a real adventure, then go on South kaibab trail into the canyon.
This hike usually takes four to six hours. It is best to go to it in the winter months, when the air is colder, but the sun is still warm enough so that there is no ice and snow on the trail.
3. Yosemite National Park
California State
The total cost of the week for two: $ 2 289
Yosemite National Park is a favorite place for adventurers. The park covers an area of 3 027 square. km Here you can find rocks for every taste, see the ancient redwoods and arrange a rest on the shores of mountain lakes, watching the impressive waterfalls.
Those who love challenging hikes, just have to climb to the top Half dome. Here there is something to do for experienced climbers. East of El Capitan is Yosemite Falls, the highest waterfall in North America.
4. Large prismatic source
State: Wyoming
The total cost of the week for two: $ 3 313
The large prismatic spring is the third largest hot spring in the world, with a diameter of 91 meter and a depth of 49 meters. Average water temperature + 71 degrees Celsius.
Prizma strikes everyone first of all not so much with its dimensions (although this too), but also with its color. It’s not just that the source was called Prism, it combines all the colors of the rainbow in itself. Color depends on thermophilic bacteria that live on the surface of the source, as well as on the time of year. The color of bacteria varies from green to red, depending on the temperature of the water in which they are located. The higher the temperature, the more the color goes to the red scale. In summer, you can see the orange color of the "cilia", but in the winter their color changes to green.
5. Mendenhall Glacier
State: Alaska
The total cost of the week for two: $ 3 458
If it is hot near Prism, then it's cold in Mendenhall Glacier. The 19 km glacier is located in the Mendenhall Valley, about 19 km from the center of Juneau in southeastern Alaska.
Getting to the caves is more difficult than to the glacier as a whole. To get to the caves, it is necessary to go by canoe around Lake Mendenhall. The view on the bright white glaciers is worth it.
The US Forest Service considers traveling to glaciers to be dangerous, so you should not go there alone. They take organized tours that cost about $ 349.
