Saguaro National Park

Remember the southwest movies where a Sheriff meets a rodeo cowboy? The Saguaro National Park or the Saguaros, is the same place that will invoke the inner rodeo of you (or the Sheriff!). There are majestic cactuses here, with lots of bushes wandering here and there to make the perfect showdown scene that you were so thrilled to see in the Hollywood movies. The entire scenery is appealing to the eyes, and more aesthetically pleasurable as we have seen such sceneries a thousand times in our favorite shows, cartoons, movies or games.

The Saguaros are distributed into two sections. There’s the eastern unit and the western unit. Both of the sections contain trails and desert flora. Visiting this place is highly recommended as this is the kind of land where America grew up.

Central Park

This is one of the World’s most renowned green spaces. This classy park has got 843 Acres of land that are totally dedicated to the meadows, outcroppings, walkways and the gardens. In addition to these, there are the lakes and reservoirs so that the greenery and the water keep flowing together as they always have! Here thousands of people come to relax and enjoy the sheer beauty of the park.

Another fascinating thing about the park is the view of the skyline it provides from its grounds. It is not an unknown fact that Manhattan’s skyscrapers literally scrape the skies. So, if you are into watching these majestic buildings then the Central Park is totally the place you should go to. In addition to that, there are eateries in this park, and a zoo that could light up your children’s day with ease!

Mendenhall Glacier

Juneau is a very beautiful place. And, a very important factor that contributes into the beauty of this place is the Mendenhall Glacier. According to the natural scientists, the Mendenhall glaciers will retreat onto the land in some time. Therefore, these glaciers are not around for long. In a period of 25 years, we might have lost all of these glowing marvels!

The sunny days are somewhat warm, beautiful and clear when the light falls upon the mountains which are blanketed by snow in the background. This gives a very great way of sightseeing the American mountains as you wander around the blue marvels of these lands.
