Robert Frost once said that he chose the road less traveled by, and that made all the difference. When two roads diverge, which path are you choosing? Do you enjoy going to the top tourist attractions when you travel, or finding a local place off the map that captures the culture of the region without the heavy foot traffic? Regardless of your preference, there is one destination in each state known for being a bit off the beaten path, yet offering just as much beauty as the state's most popular destinations.
