The best known in the United States
-
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
A national park in the Guadalupe Mountains of southeastern New Mexico, built around the show cave of Carlsbad Cavern. Visitors walk in through the natural entrance or ride an elevator down to the Big Room, a vast chamber hung with formations.
-
Everglades National Park
A vast subtropical wetland at the southern tip of Florida, protecting the southern fifth of the original Everglades. Sawgrass marsh, mangroves and slow-moving water make it the one place where alligators and crocodiles live side by side.
-
Fallingwater
A house by Frank Lloyd Wright built partly over a waterfall on the Bear Run stream, in the Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania. It was a weekend retreat for the Pittsburgh store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. and his wife Liliane, and has been open to visitors since 1963.
-
Glacier Bay National Park
A great bay in Southeast Alaska west of Juneau, ringed by mountains and tidewater glaciers that break off into the sea. First protected as a national monument in 1925, it is best seen from the water, where boats pass humpback whales and walls of ice.
-
Grand Canyon National Park
The national park around the Grand Canyon, the gorge cut by the Colorado River through northern Arizona and often counted among the wonders of the world. From the South Rim, bands of red and buff rock drop well over a kilometre and a half to the river below.
-
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
A national park straddling the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, with the border of Tennessee and North Carolina running through its centre. It holds some of the highest peaks in eastern North America, among them Kuwohi and Mount Le Conte, often wrapped in a blue haze.
-
Guggenheim Museum
Frank Lloyd Wright's white spiral on Fifth Avenue, where a single ramp coils up around a skylit rotunda and the paintings hang along the way. The collection covers Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art, and the museum began in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting.
-
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
A park on the Big Island taking in two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the most active in the world, and Mauna Loa, the largest shield volcano on Earth. Trails cross lava fields and rainforest, and the land is sacred in Hawaiian tradition as the home of Pele.
-
Independence Hall
The Georgian brick hall where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were both debated and adopted. A World Heritage Site since 1979, it stands at the heart of Independence National Historical Park.

Mammoth Cave National Park
A national park in south-central Kentucky built around Mammoth Cave, the longest known cave system in the world. Guided tours lead through its passages and chambers, while above ground the Green River winds through wooded hills.
-
Mesa Verde National Park
Some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan sites in the United States, protected in a park in southwestern Colorado that is the state's only World Heritage Site. Its stone villages include dwellings built into alcoves under the overhanging cliffs, lived in by Pueblo peoples centuries ago.
-
Monticello
Thomas Jefferson's hilltop home outside Charlottesville, a house he designed himself and kept reworking for decades. The plantation around it was worked by enslaved people, whose lives the estate now presents alongside his, and the house appears on the American nickel.
