Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan: The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, with its coves and colorful cliff faces, is among the most beautiful spots in the Midwest. The secluded sea grotto's wouldn't look out of place along the Mediterranean, but they've been hollowed out by Lake Superior. The vibrant Pictured Rocks rise some 200 feet above the lake, colored red, orange, blue and green by the minerals that have seeped into their surface. Are you familiar with the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore?

White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, Skagway, Alaska: This railway route touts itself as the most scenic in the world, and it's not hard to see why. The snow-dusted mountains, pink and yellow wild flowers and rambling hills appear almost Alpine. The railroad, whose construction began in 1898, instead rattles through Alaska towards Canada, leaving from the little city of Skagway. The White Pass Summit Excursion is the most traditional of routes, a 40-mile jaunt taking in the teetering peak of its namesake mountain pass. Have you ever been on a scenic railway tour?

Midway Ice Castles, Utah: These undulating ice terraces look as though they belong in the Arctic. They're actually man-made, the vision of Utah-based architect Brent Christensen, who erects these icy towers in the city of Midway come winter. Each of the dazzling castles, with its hand-shaped turrets and tunnels, weigh around 25,000,000 pounds, and draw visitors from all over Utah and beyond. Is this the first time you are reading about the Midway Ice Castles that is located in Utah?

Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park, Hawaii: The rugged red and green rocks of Hawaii's Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park look more suited to Mars than Earth. 'Na Pali' means 'high cliffs', and the tallest mountains here soar to 4,000 feet. The best way to take in the prismatic peaks is from the Kalalau Trail, a hardy, 11-mile route that rewards its hikers with a sandy beach at the end. The trail is currently closed (due to damage caused by flooding), but you can check the trail site for details of its reopening. When the trail reopens, will you visit the Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park?

Boldt Castle, New York: The USA is not known for its fortresses, but this European-inspired castle in New York's Alexandria Bay delivers. It was built in the early 1900s for millionaire George C. Boldt and his beloved wife, who passed during its construction, leading Boldt to abandon his extravagant project. With its Italian-style gardens and whimsical turrets, it rivals the many castles on the Continent for sheer fairy-tale factor. The castle can be reached by boat, and is open throughout the summer and fall. Have you ever visited the Boldt Castle that is located in New York?

Turnip Rock, Michigan: Twenty-foot-tall trees sprout from this unusual rock formation in Port Austin. Thought to resemble a turnip due to its squat shape and the generous greenery on its surface, the rock has been formed by the wear and tear of the waves over millennia. You can rent kayaks from the mainland and paddle out to see the structure (since much of its surrounding land is private, it's not possible to see if from the shore).The round trip is seven miles, so best suits those with some kayaking experience. Do you have any type of unusual tree (or rock) formations in the area where you live?
