As a 30 year plus employee of the National Park Service (now retired), not only have I been to most of these sites, I've actually worked in a lot of them. Of course, all I ever saw was their server room. But the drive to the work site was well worth it.
We never stopped traveling! Live your life people!
@@AgendaInMind swag!
I love the National Park Service and appreciate all of the rangers and park employees who keep it going. In my opinion, our National Parks are what really make America such a special place.
@@jeremyday9056 Noice!!
You’re a lucky 🍀 man .
We live in an absolutely breathtaking country. The landscape across the board is phenomenal. Briggs could do an entire channel on our landscape. Not enough lifetime to see it all
The ones from this list I have been to are The Rocky Mountains and The Grand Canyon....sad huh? 😢
@@dankelly5150 The Grand Canyon is not the deepest canyon in North America. The deepest canyon is in Idaho, about 80 miles from my home. I've visited both the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon, which is more spectacular.
Deeper than the Grand Canyon is the amount of effort Briggs puts into this video and all the others. Nice work, Briggs! Thank you…
Much appreciated!

Thank you!
I don't know why this video just popped in my recommended list. Timing is impeccable. This year so far I've been to Europe and South America. I was not too long ago wondering what similar places, in terms of nature, adventure, and soul searching kind of experience, one might find in the US. And here I am already daydreaming about my next out of State visit to less known places for the regular folk like me. I've been to Grand Canyon, Sequoia, and a few other places but this channel is just opening my eyes to a lot more. Thank you.
I've been to about 75% of these places and I can say, wholeheartedly, it is worth it. This is what makes America great- the fact that we have chosen to protect these special places for all of our future generations to see.
Never knew a desert got that cold at night. Learn something every day.
I have been to the Grand Canyon, Sequoia, Lake Tahoe, Multnomah Falls (I was born in Portland and live across the river in Washington).
I'm surprised Sedona, AZ and Zion National Park, UT did not make the list this time. You can add my name to the list of people who are interested in another or two video on this topic.
By the way, I truly truly appreciate your channels. They are family friendly and educational. As a parent and grand parent that means a lot to me.
I love Zion
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs smokies have gotta make the next list
Sedona and Zion are beautiful
Ditto ❤
I second that. I really enjoy this type of video and would love to see more.
Warkins Glen is amazing, stunning beautiful, a gem of the finger lakes
Thank you Mr Briggs, for including White Sands National Monument on your list. Nice to see this wonderful and unearthly corner of New Mexico getting some love!
I ❤ New Mexico.
Same. Underrated place.
America beautiful 🤩❤️you need 100 of these videos that how is beautiful
I L❤V E This so much!!!!!!
Cool 4k
You could make the argument for Niagara falls being top 5. Great video. Thank you briggs for these videos
How blessed we are to live in this beautiful country ❤
So happy to see Watkins Glen State Park in New York on your list! In my opinion New York State is often underrated. People immediately think of New York City and Niagara Falls. The Finger Lakes region is gorgeous wine country. The Adirondacks Region is greater in size than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon Park combined. I ❤ New York!
This is a neat one, Briggs! :) Thank you for making these! :)
Glad you like it!
I don't know how often you hear this Briggs but Thank You. No comment other than to say thank you for this video.
Thanks!
Thank you so much.
Looks like Briggs did the footwork. Thanks brother.
I grew up in Watkins Glen, hiked the state park every summer. It's absolutely gorgeous and I recommend going there in your lifetime.
I grew up near Letchworth State Park, another gorgeous place, as well as Stony Brook Park in Dansville, NY.
1. Antelope Canyon (I just toured it this Morning!!)
2. Yosemite National Park
3. Acadia National Park
4. Lake Tahoe (CA/NV)
5. Zion National Park.
A couple years ago I rafted 88 miles of Colorado river through the Grand Canyon. Definitely the most physically challenging thing I've ever done! I have a healthy respect for the canyon and its rapids.
I would definitely love to see more of these videos. You did an amazing job on this one. 😊
Thank you so much!!
Yep but he should do one specifically east of the Mississippi as this region of the USA was very disrespected this go round. I name one as an example Mammoth Cave National Park, the largest cave system in the world.
I love Multnomah Falls!! Glad it got a mention here
Amazing information and photography, thanks for sharing.
Sadly, I haven't been to any of these places. They all look stunning! Maybe someday...
Thank you for this, it gives me a visual excuse not to leave this country.
Its nuts right now
I thought I'd seen it all with 8 sites visited. Oh well.
Cool, excited to watch this Briggs!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs I sure did! Thanks again for this video! 👍
Briggs, I enjoy.your video very much. What I am impressed about is how the citizens come together to preserve nature. After looking at SF bay area and "save the bay" initiated by local citizens, it is amazingly well preserved and will bring joy to many many future generations to come. Please do a video on top 10 citizen based nature preserves beyond the NPs and state parks, which you have already covered. Thank you!
28 minutes and well worth it! Thank you :-)
Please please please do more videos like this I feel like you haven't even scratched the surface of the beauty that is here in the United States
Love the Grand canyon
Reno, my husband and I love your stories so keep them coming. America needs this!
White Sands was the best part of our New Mexico trip. Amazing! Would love to do the full moon tour at night that the monument offers.
I think you could have included the coral reefs of the Florida Keys. They’re the only living barrier reef in the continental United States, and the third largest in the world. These are the largest living structures, and are filled with amazing wildlife! See them while they’re still with us.
bruh i live in florida and i didnt know this , like in south florida too, ima go check it out
Well said! Although I believe Mycelia are the largest living structures...
Zion National park is amazing and should be on the list next time
Beautiful video journey! Yes, do more please whenever possible.
Lots of other beautiful areas Oregon caves being one of them spectacular beautiful country around the caves Views from the mountain tops are breathtaking
Amazing video 👍👍👍
Good taste Briggs! Been to many of them in the west, regret none. You also showed a quick shot of Morraine Lake, Alberta. Easy to get to, jaw dropping beautiful.
The beauty of the earth 🌎, great subject. ✅👍🙏
I would love to see a part two and/or three to this! ☺️👍
The Great Lakes are the top of this for me it’s amazing no where else on earth are there fresh water lakes this size.
Loved this video but I didn't see Niagra Falls....an amazing natural wonder.
13:20 Hocking State Park, Ohio and Warm Springs Georgia
Thanks Briggs.
Any time!
Great Smokey and Blue Ridge Mountains are the ones I've been to, being from South Carolina. But there's a few of these on my list!
I live in the finger lakes area and watkins Glen is great! I was surprised it got a shoutout on this list 👍💚
I went to Badlands NP in the autumn Of 2021. All I could do when I saw it was stand there and cry, praising God for the beauty.
You definitely need a part 2, 3, 4, 5, and maybe 17 or 18! You haven’t even touched the east coast yet (save for one). Excellent job, give us more!
Great video! Love your content... and I'd love to see all these places before I die.
Sleeping on WA. There's Mount Ranier National Park, Mount Saint Helens, the Olympic National Park and so much more.
Love the video. My wife and I have been to the Grand Canyon, Teton National, Monument Valley, Watkins Glenn. I was hoping that you would have mentioned Niagar Falls,Yellowstone, and Zion National Parks some of my favorites. There are quite a few in you list that are on my bucket list.
I've been to 16 of these. Keep going you got a bunch more to cover!
All your videos are great.
Great list, Saint John national park would be in my top 20 over some of these state parks.Saint John and Hawaii are the most beautiful beaches in the USA . I just did Saint John it was amazing
Yellowstone is nature's amusement park. It has to be seen to be believed. Pix don't do justice!
On the East coast, you won't do much better than Virginia's Shenandoah Nat'l Park, especially if you're a hiker or you like fall leaf-peeping.
I agree with your choice of Watkins Glen, the walking path through the gorge is quite stunning.
Yes, you could realistically make three more of these lists for the US alone, Briggs.
Awesome!! Looking forward to future installations!
I definitely like this episode
Love your Narrative!!!!!!
Nice video .... Would love to visit all these places
I want to see all of these before I die. I love this land. Please make another video Briggs.
Twiddling my thumbs...waiting for Niagara Falls!
It's pretty and impressive, but it's also tops on the list of raped-by-humans natural wonders. Water flow cut in half, viewing platforms everywhere, a boat ride, tunnel behind the falls, copter rides, giant hotels all over the place.....sheesh! Enough already! I'm surprised a monorail hasn't been built along the brinks of all three falls.
Totally agree! Despite it becoming a tourist trap. Never experienced anything quite like it.
@@ericschaper3540 I have not been to Niagara since 1967, but loved standing at the brink of the horseshoe, imagining what it must have been like 300 years ago. Of course, it was probably not horseshoe shaped back then, but the water flow was immense and must have been awe inspiring. I'm glad I got to see it in 1952, a few months before the last major cut in the flow. I was 5 years old, but will never forget it. It was terrifying!!!
Acadia Nat'l Park rocks!
I needed this. Awesome video.. please keep going on this subject
Very nice thank you!
Thank you Briggs!
You want to see Niagra Falls in August and take the catwalk which takes you to where you can get splashed by the water or feel the mist from a boat trip.
Lake Tahoe is awesome. Have you seen the finger lakes in NY or city with a lake in ID called McCall?
Since you are in Portland you shoukd take a trip to Silverton Falls, OR. Most the falls are next to nothing but a couple are really cool and the 8 mile hike is great.
The evergreens of the NW, the blanket of color of the northern east coast deciduous trees in the fall...
And I am overly captivated by our Oceans
Have a great day
The scenery is very beautiful.❤
This list could potentially be huge. There are so many nice natural sites in this country. This is probably a reason why the USA is such a great country, and not a lot of Americans leave the country.
Most don't leave the country
Enjoyed this very much. Well done!
I love Kings Canyon and Sequoia but give me Yosemite any day. The hike up to Nevada falls is spectacular with all its other waterfalls along the trails, and Tuolumne Meadows is beautiful!!
I do really enjoy watching your videos to learn more about America. I really wish to visit the states someday. Keep up the good work! From Sweden 🇸🇪
The Great Smoky Mountains are also phenomenal! I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you for sharing it. Our country is beautiful beyond description.
Excellent video! It included most of the obvious ones, but also had some interesting places that I haven’t seen on lists like this. Only complaint; Niagara Falls HAS to be on any natural wonders list. I know the area’s become a tacky tourist trap (I once lived in WNY), but the falls became a huge honeymoon destination in the 50’s for a reason. The Canadian side is better, but the Park and Goat Island are pretty cool on the American side too. Maybe on your next trip visiting the family in Buffalo?
Niagara Falls is wonderful.
About 6 years ago my family took a trip to the Rockies in Colorado and we drove through the national park. It was really amazing driving up the mountain to the point of elevation in which trees did not grow. It was July and there was snow on the ground and we even saw elk. On top of the mountain the sky was blue and cloudless but we ran into storms as we drove towards the bottom, which was really interesting. That trip was amazing and I would love to check out more national parks and even go back to The Rockies.
My fav hobby is to see tourist under dress to go to Rockies Mountain and instantly regret! It’s cold all year around up there 😂😂
I have been all over the Rockies. My dad lived in Bigfork MT. for over forty years. Bigfork is on Flathead Lake. Spent a lot of time on the lake when I was a kid. Been to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and the Tetons. My daughter lives in Redmond OR. I have seen Smith Rock.
Great video Briggs. love this kind of stuff especially the specific details (like getting a balcony room). Keep doing more!
Glad you enjoyed!
The footage at 13:40 is Lake Sylvan in Custer State Park (not Badlands, which was what you were talking about.
Also, about Badlands, the very first dinosaur bone was discovered there. Very cool.
Sweet!
Absolutely loved this video!
Great video! I grew up in Maryland. Traveled about a lot as a kid. So, I saw a lot of these places growing up. Then I moved to Prescott, AZ in 2000. And one of the reasons being, to explore the larger than life landscapes of the American west. So, I've been to more than half of these. And it was good to see some Northern AZ spots on the list. Funny how most people seem to think Arizona is nothing but dirt and cactus. Although, people are catching on. And the price of houses here now reflects that, which is somewhat unfortunate for working class locals. But, all in all, I feel pretty fortunate to live here. (though I know you're not a "fan of the desert" lol). Anyhow.... Love your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you.
I LOVE the western US... Lived in southern AZ for 50 years- so many beautiful spots out west. I must disagree with Briggs on one point- I think the deserts here are gorgeous and I love them- it's a different kind of beauty that not everyone likes...
I live near Tucson, there is nothing better than seeing a forest of saguaro climbing up mountains and the cliff faces shooting out of the desert floor. And then you hike a ways up the mountains and get to alpine meadows and pines. I ultimately want to end up in cedar city Utah because I'm in love with the red rock desert with ponderosa pines shooting out. I like when the desert meets mountains.
I feel very fortunate to have been to 5 places from your list. There are so many more, big and small, that I've been to. Wonderful beauty in this US of A.
I don't think most Americans realize they don't have to leave the country to find amazing landscapes.
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs If they don't see the uniqueness here, it's hard to imagine they can truly appreciate uniqueness anywhere.
YAY I’m glad Big Bend NP made the list, I did a road trip there and stayed in Chisos mountain, we saw black bears, big Bend is so amazing, as a native Texan it was like a rite of passage…highly recommended!!! 🏜🏕
9 out of 20, not bad for an Aussie.
I AM SURE THE BEAUTY OF THE U.S.A. IS PHENOMENAL !!! I ADORE THIS STUNNING PLANET EARTH !!!!! ALL AROUND THE WORLD ! THANKS . FROM U.K. (2023).
Great video as always o could watch your channel all day long keep up the good work!!
Bryce canyon was amazing and well worth several trips to see and hope it always keeps it's silent beauty
Very beautiful video Briggs, great scenes & editing!
So glad to have seen Acadia before cruise ship days. Hardly anyone was around, even in the middle of Summer. Absolutely gorgeous place. The camping in Maine was amazing, and the areas were cleaner than any motels. Memories.
Loved this! I have been to every national park in the United States. Thank you for your efforts in making this video. You are awesome Briggs!
I love the outdoors so I would definitely watch another video like this one! Thank you.
This was a great video. I have been fortunate to see and live near Multnomah Falls, Tetons and Yellowstone.
You need to make more of these longer videos.
Lake Tahoe is amazing!! I love this lake! I grew up spending summers on the West side of the lake at Sunnyside!! My Grandparents built a cabin there!! So much fun!! Sequoia National Park is truly awesome too with all the gianormous trees!! And Yosemite National Park is the one I've been to the most in my life, camping fishing, walking and just spending time in nature!! I live near Yosemite now in the foothills!! This was a fantastic video!! Loved seeing all the park areas!!
I have actually been to almost all of these places and although difficult to put them in order , I agree wish some that Zion canyon in Utah should not be left off the top five list … if you get into some of the amazing hikes and Canyoneering it offers it is simply amazing !
Glad to see Watkins Glen. Great hike. I suspect the next one will be as good. Plenty of places to pick from.
I’m grateful that I’ve been to most of these sites. Fabulous vid, Briggs. Thanks so much. Would love more… like a vid about all the islands off the Carolinas - tons of history there.
Nice show. One that sticks out for me is a private Rafting trip down the Grand Canyon for 16 days in June of 2008. All clear water with little to no silt the whole way.
My family is lucky enough to go to these amazing places: Multnomah falls, Yosemite Natl park, Giant Sequoia, Lake Tahoe, Acadia Nat’l park, crater lake Oregon, Rocky Mountains, and the most spectacular is Bryce Canyon❤️
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
