Beautiful Place? Bishop’s Castle
Bishop’s Castle is another must-see, beautiful place off the beaten path and very unique. You can find it deep in the mountains and sort of in the middle of nowhere.
Bishop’s Castle is a testament to beauty, glory, and perseverance because it was hand-built by one man, Jim Bishop. Admission to this beautiful place is free, and if you’re lucky, you might even get to meet the builder himself.
This is an uncommon but worthwhile detour if you’re in the area. The signs across the property are bizarre, and it’s pretty clear that the government is not welcome here.
Walking through the Castle, you’ll be reminded of what a creative person can do in their own space, time, and terms.
my state did not make the list . my city there is nothing to do here.
I haven’t been to any of those beautiful places, but you can bet my wife and I are ready to go to some of them anytime now. Thanks so much for the education.
I’ve been at White Sands National Park 2 times. I’m from Illinois so driving on the roads through there, it was like driving after a big snow storm. The sand dunes are very high. We had snow saucers. We had to wax them up real good then we went down like we were on snow. Beautiful… God made!!!
None of these are in my state. I was looking forward to seeing 11 beautiful places I did not know were in my state. Maryland!
