Just got back from a trip from Southwest in America. I am completely awestruck by all the natural wonders found here.. National parks that are treasures of this great country, as well as scenic highways that are full of mountains and rocks; likes of which probably don't exist anywhere else.

Needless to say I have to give a shutout to Grand Canyon. It's surreal; very dream-like. It honestly looks like a painting that shouldn't exist in real world!

What are the most naturally beautiful places you have ever visited and you recommend? And which ones are on your bucket-list?
 
South west of US is indeed one of the best places you'll see. I myself have been to Yosimite National Park and Red Rock canyon in Nevada for hiking and it was a blast.
 
Yosimite and Yellostone are in my next-do list. Then I can boast about visiting all three major US NPs ;-)

Unfortunately Yosimite is very inconveniently located with nearest airport 5 hours away. And there aren't any other major attractions nearby other than SF city. With Yellowstone, at least you get Grand Tenton where you can easily spend a week. Glacier and Bnaff aren't that far either so you have a possibility of 2-3 weeks trip.
 
Try Denali National Park in Alaska. Its a different world. Been to Alaska and had the opportunity to see glaciers, whales of various types in a boat ride.
Wonderful to see Grizzly and Brown bears in their natural habitats.

There is alot to see in that area. 17 mile drive, big sur, lake tahoe to name a few. They are a few hours away from each other though so you won't be able to cover everything in one day.
 
To our friends residing in UK, has anyone been to Iceland? Heard good things about the place but is it worth the hype ?
 
Niagara Falls and Grand Canyon top my list. Yosemite, The Great smoky mountains, and others in the US as we travelled quite a lot in that country.

The grand canyon is probably the most amazing, I have also been to Victoria falls and that was incredible.
 
Seen the pyramids in Egypt the and Niagara Falls. I would have loved to see the Taj Mahal if it wasn't in India:wahab2
 
Niagra falls is great but not really sure if I would consider it to be natural wonder.

Those Iguazu Falls in Argentina/ Brazil look far more magnificent..
 
One of the best memories of my life has been visiting the origin of River Nile in Uganda.

As a child, this was one spot that always for some reason fascinated me. It was like a moment of truth and "dreams do come true moment" when I was there.
