Hidden gems are dispersed throughout the varied landscapes of the United States, and these lesser-known, stunning locations of extraordinary natural beauty have been highlighted in a recent Reader’s Digest travel article:

“If you travel frequently, you probably already know about popular tourist attractions in every state—but what about those smaller places that offer unique experiences? You may know about hidden gems in New York City, Los Angeles and other major cities, but what about those oh-so-cool secret locations in the heartland? Well, turns out, there are plenty of hidden gems in the U.S. that are must-see destinations.
These hidden gems around the country show a little part of each state’s history and are sure to make for a memorable experience.”

While the concept of the most gorgeous destination in every state is subjective, this list will introduce options to those who aren’t already familiar with such remarkable and often underrated spots that have the power to leave a profound, lasting impact and that offer a sense of wonder and discovery. 

In Nevada, this special place is the Great Basin National Park in White Pine County:

“This national park really has it all. Although it is in the Great Basin Desert, the park contains most of the South Snake mountains and the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive toward the peak—and close by is one of a few ancient bristlecone pine groves and the marble Lehman Caves. The park is open year-round except for holidays.”
