Utah National Park

Utah's canyon lands (Bryce, Zion, Aches and Canyonlands National Parks,) are spectacular examples of nature's handiwork carved into Southwest stone.  In summer, they are hot: high temperatures in Zion in July average 100 degrees.  In spring, pioneer orchards scent the canyon air with fruit blossoms, the sun is warm but not piercing, and campgrounds are barely occupied.  Hiking, biking and camping are all superb.  Canyonland National Park is a United States National Park located in Southeastern Utah near the city of Moab and preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons by the Colorado River.  A frequent visitor described the Canyonlands as the most wonderful, magical place on earth, there is nothing else like it anywhere.

World's Tallest Statue

The Spring Temple Buddha in Henam, China stands 502 feet tall impossible to miss for drivers along Highway 311.  The Buddha stands atop a lotus throne in the Fodushan Scenic Area, not far from a famous hot springs.  Completed in 2002 this Vairocana, or celestial Buddha was reportedly conceived and built in response to an act of the Taliban in 2001.

World's Tallest Geyser

Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is the largest active geyser in the world, though not many people wait around long enough to witness it.  The Geyser can remain dormant for decades, but once it erupts, as it did in 2005- the water and steam can reach heights of 300 to 400 feet.  That's more than twice the size of Old Faithful, which is much more reliable.  How often does Old Faithful erupt?  It erupts over 15 times a day.  Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone National Park.

America's Tallest Mountain

With a summit at 20,320 above sea level, Denali is the tallest peak in the United States, and deserving of its native name, which means simply, The High One.  Despite its beauty the mountain is inhospitable.  It's high energy to create its own weather and the summit is often shrouded in clouds.  Merely catching a glimpse of the summit is a high prize for travelers to Denali National Park.

World's Tallest Waterfall

Nineteen times taller than Niagara Falls, Angel Falls in Venezuela tumbles over the table top mountain of Auyantepui, falling into a swirl of mist and water 3,212 feet below.  The falls wasn't known to the wider world until American aviator Jimmie Angel flew over it in 1933 while looking for gold ore for a mining company.  While trying to land atop the falls in 1937 his plane crashed, no one was hurt, and the wreckage remained there until 1970.  It was reassembled and now is on display at the Cuidad Bolivar Airport.
