10. Waimea Canyon
And if you’ve never visited Hawaii but have been looking for an excuse, we’ve got one for you! The Waimea Canyon is less known than the ones we’ve previously listed, but it’s easily one of the most shockingly beautiful canyons you’ll ever visit. With a combination of red volcanic soil and green tropical landscape, you’ll wish you would have visited it sooner!
Despite it being known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, The Waimea Canyon is truly unique and breathtaking, with plenty of activities for novices and expert hikers alike. Here you’ll see flora and fauna that you won’t spot anywhere else in the U.S., perfect for anyone that wants to get away from the norm and explore something new!
So, which one of these Canyons have you added to your bucket list?
I have visited the canyons in the western USA and was impressed with Zion and Bryce to the point where I repeatedly visited them.
Someone needs to visit Providence Canyon State Park near Omaha GA. beautiful. like a miniature Grand Canyon
I’d put Antelope Canyon a #2. I’ve been to 1-3 (and others), and Antelope Canyon is far neater than Vermilion Cliffs. Antelope Canyon is just east Page, Arizona, northeast of Grand Canyon Village on the Colorado border.
Palo Duro is beautiful. The Texas play in the summer makes it extra special if you can attend!
Canyon De Chelly outdoes all the canyons above with one possible exception! A truly remarkable natural wonder, located in the heart of the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona, it is steeped in history and is spellbinding to behold!
