We all know the Grand Canyon, Great Smokies, and Mount Rushmore are places that are must-see locations in the US. But what if you want to go to a place that nobody goes to, a place that you can feel alone and one with nature? Here are the 5 best places for you, in no particular order.
5. Perdido Key, Florida
Literally meaning "Lost Key," Perdido Key is the perfect place to have a calm relaxing vacation on the Gulf Coast. If you want to escape from the huge crowds in Destin, Panama City, and New Orleans, Perdido Key is the perfect place to visit. A sunken military ship is also here, along with tons of parks and miles of white sand beaches.
4. Tunica, Mississippi
This getaway on the Gulf Coast is another great place to spend your money wisely. Why fly all the way to Las Vegas when you can get the same gambling experience in the South. Add expansive golf courses, beautiful sceneries, and unforgettable cuisine to this and you get the perfect fall getaway.
3. Black Hills, South Dakota
South Dakota doesn't just have Mount Rushmore. The famous Black Hills have another side, with beautiful lakes and a nature scene that you just can't find anywhere else. Caving, rock climbing, picture taking, and kayaking are all things you can do in one of the most underrated states, South Dakota.
2. Louisville, Kentucky
That's right, this upstart city in Kentucky is often known for its football team, and nothing more. However, the cuisine here is perhaps the best in the world. Ranging from ribs to fusion sushi rolls, you can find any food you want. The unplugged lifestyles of the city and the Civil War history make Louisville the perfect quiet city to have a great time.
1. Alexandria Bay, New York
Upstate New York, what a place. And everything in this location revolves around water. Kayaking, fishing, boating, jet skiing, and straight up swimming are all things you can enjoy in this calm removed location, far from civilization. This is one of the other 999 islands that make up the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River, and is the perfect location to find yourself this fall.
