European reacts to AMERICAS MOST ENCHANTING PLACES for every US State 

Fun fact for you. As America was being discovered and settled in the 1800's explorers found these natural wonders and quickly thought, "we need to preserve this land". Our government at the time agreed, taking note that the US does not have anything like The Louvre, Stonehenge, or Cathedrals like the ones in Cologne, Chartres, Notre Dame for example as of course we are so new compared to Europe. So our government created the National Park System to keep these areas safe from over development....so we use these parks as our national treasures if you will instead of great historical buildings of Europe. Thus our National Park System became known as, "America's Best Idea".

The Names Are Native American...not Japanese...love your reactions...💛

The colorful pool you saw in Yellowstone is the Grand Prismatic Spring, and there is no swimming allowed. It's about 113 meters in diameter and 37 meters deep, with near-boiling temperatures (63 - 87 C). The blue color is an optical effect, while the orange and brown are heat-adapted bacterial colonies. It's stunning and unreal. It was my favorite part of Yellowstone.

You should check out the Great Redwood Forest and Sequoia National Forest in California. You will be amazed at how old and how big these trees are!

Red isn’t the only color of our parks. You don’t want to just “jump in” somewhere in Florida (Ocala)…. There are alligators. 🐊

I like that they didn't always choose the most famous or obvious attraction. For instance, they didn't choose the main attraction of Arizona, the Grand Canyon, and the park they chose for California was pretty obscure compared to the Redwoods, Yosemite, and others.

Each of these states has more than one astonishing place. In smallish Massachusetts the islands are spectacular.

Great reaction! The US has so many awesome places to visit and most Americans will only see a small portion in their lifetime ❤

Chris!! This is a perfect example of why Americans aren’t “well traveled” 😂! We have so much natural beauty and resources we feel truly blessed. Many spend vacations getting to all 50 states! I was born in Pennsylvania, moved as an infant to St. Louis Missouri, then Kansas City, Chicago, KC again, and finally San Diego. I’ve loved all the states as home. Crater Lake in Oregon is fantastic, so is Hawaii, the Sequoia Park in California etc. Come visit! ❤

I am from Virginia, I’m watching your video in Idaho. The reason the mountains appear blue in Va. because specific oak and poplar trees here emit a chemical called isoprene to protect them from the weather. Isoprene reacts with the atmosphere in such a way that the light that filters down to our eyes appears blue. Virginia is a beautiful state. Idaho has a place called the Caribbean of the Rockies, it’s called Bear lake. Look it up.

If you look at a geographical map of The Lower 48, as we call it when we're excludeding Alaska and Hawaii ( 50 - 2 states ), you'll see the majority of the places in the video are part of, or adjacent to, our two major mountain rangers. The Appalachians in the East stretch from Maine South, with it's feet in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The Great Smoky Mountains, the portion that crosses the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina is actually a rain forest. The Appalachian Chain is the oldest mountain range on Earth, in excess of 500 million years old. In the Smokys alone the are 129 different species of trees. By contrast, The Rocky Mountains that run up through Canada, our Western range, only has 7 or 8 species of trees. They are very young comparatively. That's why Western geology is amazing, spectacular, and sometimes dangerous. The Western coast in part of The Pacific Ring of Fire, or Pacific Rim. The plate tectonics are very active which is why you'll find volcanoes in the Northwest, up around Alaska and around the coastal areas of Western Asia. Death Valley which, I think, in Southern California, a rift valley. Few people, even if they know that, realized the desert floor is expanding there. I hope you can explore our National Parks while you are still young. But take it seriously. If you plan to hike as well as camp ALWAYS register with the Park Rangers. Let them know when you're leaving, your planned route, campsites and when you expect to return. The Rangers will be able to advise you about equally important things such as storm or fire damage of the trails you plan to use, as well as unusually high bear activity. If you need to, they'll help you re-route around any hazardous locations. Just don't forget to at least call the Rangers to let them know you're back, so they know they don't have to go looking for you. Some people worry about wild animals but every year most injuries and deaths are caused by visitors slipping on wet rocks around streams and waterfalls. Hope we see you soon! Good Luck.🧓

Yosemite National Park in CA and NV is one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen! It has waterfalls during rainy season and there is green and red everywhere.

Nature is everywhere in the US. Although most foreign visitors focus on New York City and Disneyworld/land, as you can see there's so much more. You'll often find that the Federal Government owns most of the land in any particular state, most for conservation reasons. I recall flying into Los Angeles once, when the Jacaranda trees were in full bloom. From the plane the city looked like it had a purple glow to it. If red is your favorite color, consider visiting Sedona, Arizona where you'll enjoy some amazing and iconic rock formations in a variety of red hues. Tschüss!

Crater lake in Oregon is unmatched.... absolutely amazing

My husband being from New York state grew up near a town that was flooded to create a reservoir. That is not unheard of in other parts of the country. We have many trees such a red maples and others that turn yellow, golden, and red. The pines stay green year round. Clay in the soil makes for a lot of red colorings.

I routinely drive over a lake that has an old town underwater. They dammed a nearby river to create a reservoir lake to help contain flooding in other nearby areas and as a result they flooded a small town. During a drought in 2012, the water level was so low that people could walk around the remains of the former town.

They didn't do justice to Cape May, New Jersey! The entire town burned down in the 1840s, and was rebuilt at the height of the Victorian era, filling it with beautiful mansions and houses. They also neglected to mention Cape May 'diamonds' which litter the beach - a large deposit of quartz rock sits just off-shore and pebbles break off and are polished by the ocean, which then wash up on shore. When they glitter in the sun, it makes the beach look like it is covered in diamonds.

the US has so many state and national parks that to see everything you would need to travel to 1 each week for over 40 years

Kentucky resident here. Mammoth cave national park is a must if you ever come here. Kayaking into the caves is very safe because of their massive size. I can't swim, and yet I've been through the caves this way. My personal favorite thing to do in Kentucky is to ride my motorcycle through a place known as Red River Gorge. It's some of the most beautiful scenery in the world in my opinion.

🎵Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! --Lyrics by Katherine Lee Bates

lol No blue trees! Just the enhancement of the picture…. We do have an evergreen called blue spruce that can take in a slightly blue hue

I find these US reaction vids so fascinating, lol! You should definitely do national park reactions they’re stunning

You are looking at trees that are changing colors during early fall. Those woods are not completely changed. When they do the woods becomes bright with colors yellow orange. Red and deep maroon . Its stunning and makes the hills look like they are on fire.

Welcome to your US journey! 🎉 these are some good picks from each state but I will have to say they are not the best of every state! Definitely check out some more nature videos and national parks!

Yosemite National Park is the place to see in California. Nothing else in California beats it.

With Utah you are spoiled for choice with Bryce, Zion, Arches National parks and anything in Moab. Red rocks in the South and lush high mountains in the North.

Love your curiosity. The striations that you saw in the rocks aren't man made. You seem like a nice genuine person so I'll subscribe. Have a good one 😁 Oh, and I that rainbow lake you saw is called The Great Prismatic Spring and it's natural.

I’m from Michigan, here are a few fun facts about my home state: 4 out of 5 of the Great Lakes touch our state. We are the only state made up entirely of peninsulas. Michigan is made up of two major peninsulas (the lower and upper). We are one of the 11 states that are bigger than the entire United Kingdom. Lake Michigan is so big, you can start at the bottom of our state drive for 9 hours, and if you look to your left, it’s still the same lake. Lake Superior is larger than all of Scotland, and it has so much water it could cover all of South America in 3 feet of water (the lake is very deep). The Great Lakes are the largest source of freshwater in the planet. There is a city called Traverse City, and just a few miles off the coast in the water of Lake Michigan there is a stone henge under the water. It has carvings of mastodons and is estimated to be 12,000 years old. I’m from the South West area of the lower peninsula, but the first time I went to a city called Petosky (in the Northern part of the state), the water was 4 different shades of blue and crystal clear.

The red leaves on the trees is the color that the green leaves turn to during the Fall (Autumn).

You see why Americans don't travel the world as much as some places? We have beautiful places to visit in the US, and personally I don't feel the need to travel to another country. I live in North Carolina.

2:46 Many of our mountains, especially in the Rocky Mountains/Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington State, etc are formed from lava flows from volcanos. The west coast especially is on what is called “The Ring of Fire” which is many country’s coasts & form a giant ring of volcanic activity.These countries are: Indonesia, New Zealand, Papa New Guinea, Philippines, Japan, United States, Chile, Canada, Guatemala, Russia, Peru, Solomon Islands, Mexico and Antarctica 9:24 Melting glaciers are what formed the topography throughout many states when the ice age occurred. It’s formed from the glaciers cutting the rocks on their paths. Glaciers and volcanoes are very prevalent in forming the mountains. 😊

I would do some videos of each state. I feel the narrator was picking pretty pictures when there is so much more in every state! Subbed!

I don't think they selected the most beautiful, but I'm glad they did show beautiful places that are not your typical ones, also beauty is subjective, and some states have sooooooo many amazing places.

Valley of Fire state park is beautiful but my favorite in Nevada is Red Rock Canyon..... RED everywhere!

I just found your channel! Great content! Are trees change color in the fall… autumn .. red yellow orange depends on the tree but this is a great season to visit Easter US… especially New England!

I just wanted to say Hi as I just found and subbed to your channel today. I loved your reaction. I am an American and I live in Michigan which is a state in the Midwest. Its the "Mitten" shaped state and its surrounded by the Great Lakes. Thank you for checking out our beautiful country.....unfortunately this video just isn't long enough and doesn't go into enough detail for each state....so that means we want to see you react to more USA videos! 😉 Have you ever been to the States? Us Americans get teased a lot because Europeans say we aren't well traveled......we honestly don't have to leave our own country to get whatever type of "vacation" we want...we just have to travel to another state. We have states with country and snowy mountains, we have desert states, tropical states like Hawaii...and so much more. Thank you for this reaction. Maybe check out a video on our National parks ...you will not be disappointed if you love natural beauty because there is so much to see 😊

There are so many wonderful places to visit in the US. Each state has a plethora of scenic views. In the west the red of the mountains and hills are due to clay and iron, green is due to some copper. Some of them are red clay like those in Arizona, Colorado, Utah & Idaho. The trees colors are because the photos were taken in the fall, one of the most colorful times to visit the US. I am from the state of Utah, there are quite a few state parks there. A couple of the places I can recommend to visit there is Bryce Canyon, Zion national park, Goblin Valley, Arches national park, Mount Timpanogos, The High Uintas, Bonneville Salt Flats, Bear Lake as well as many others. California you should go and visit the Redwood Forest in northern California, in Tennessee near Chattanooga you should go to Ruby falls, it is an underground waterfall.

Chris, when you said "wow", I subscribed and I wholeheartedly agree!!! 👍

The first one, Noccalula Falls, named after a young Native American woman, (tragic story about her) in Gadsden, AL, is about 15 minutes from where I live. I was there last week. We used to go at least every other weekend when I was a child, through my late twenties, until I started working on weekends. My niece loves riding the little train (made for children and adults) that goes through the back portion of the park where deer, geese, ducks, the covered bridge, and old buildings, like the grist mill, schoolhouse, and other original buildings from the 1800s were restored and put there for tourists. There used to be a lion named Lisa that was kept in a fenced in area in the back, but thankfully enough people were concerned and made it known that she, nor any others should be there. When there is a lack of rain, the falls can actually become a trickle, but it's beautiful and fairly loud when at full force. I go up there and sit by the falls to relax. There are campgrounds where you can use tents or RVs, there's a chapel where many people get married, a hiking trail under and downstream of the falls, indoor and outdoor pavilions for private parties, a large playground and mini golf setup, barbeque competitions (one last week) called Smoke On Falls, beautiful Christmas decorations, and more. Tishamingo is Native American,like many names of locations, here.

We also have brown and Gray mountains... Out west and down south it's more reddish clay colors. Not tashomingo - Appalachian. It's actually one of the Native American tribal names I THINK it's out of one of the Algonquin tribes? (Maybe?) The red/white colors are a combo of sedimentation settling, making into rock, then wind and water wearing enough away to reveal the random patterns. Hocking hills in Ohio is GREAT. The trees especially in the Northernmost states, they tend to be slightly effected by frosty mornings towards fall (Autumn) and it turns the green to yellow, and orange and red... (eventually dead brown - then they fall off to return next spring). Yellowstone that colorful "unhealthy" pool you noted is that way naturally from the volcanic and hot springs stuff that gets brought up. So, yeah, very likely not healthy (you'd boil to death very fast there if you fell in). You should check out the California Sequoias at the Redwood National Park. You'd know better what you can show/review and what you cannot, but since you like red so much at LEAST check out the short (30 seconds): Winter in Sequoia National Park. You'll be blown away.

That lake in Yellowstone? You wouldn't want to jump in it!!

America is quite BEAUTIFUL! Every state has many beautiful sights to see not just one. America is a phenomenal country to live in.

The underwater towns are usually in low lying areas that were dammed up to make a lake. We have a few lakes in Oklahoma that have a couple towns under them from before they were flooded. If that's what you were referring to.

Chris I just found Your Channel today and I enjoyed it ❤👍. I'm American and live in Pensacola Beach Florida USA 🇺🇸 and America is huge and there are many Beautiful places here I hope someday you will come to America you will Welcomed with opened arms 😉👍❤️.

For Texas: Palo Duro Canyon State Park in the Texas Panhandle is the largest canyon outside the Grand Canyon in the US.

California: Yosemite National Park New Mexico: Valles Caldera National Preserve Utah: Bonneville Salt Flats Oregon: 1000% agree that Crater Lake is one of the most stunning places you’ll ever see

For red rocks, Sedona Arizona, Jemez New Mexico. Painted Desert is really cool, and the Bisti Badlands in the four corners region of NM. Meteor crater in AZ. White Sands national park in NM, Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado, box canyon falls near Ouray colorado. Palo Duro canyon in Texas.

~Seattle here...Mt Rainier is sooooo beautiful...I was proposed on it!!!~

I live in Michigan, we live in mid state. We always loved going to the Up. They have scenery, pasti, fudge. We call our

Things to check out: Olympic Rainforest, Washington; Denali Nat'l Park, and Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska; Crater Lake, Thor's Well, & Bagby hot springs, Oregon; Crystal River (with manatees!), FL; Black & Pink sand beaches, Hawaii; Yellowstone, no matter which state; Galveston Island & Natural Bridge Caverns, TX (Mammoth Cave and Carlsbad Caverns are also amazing); Pacific Coast Hwy, CA/OR; Sequoia & Kings Canyon Nat'l Park, CA; Red Rocks Amphitheatre, CO; Key West, FL; Antelope Canyon, AZ; Ghost Ranch, NM. Also, since you like trees, Vermont in the fall, Aspens in CO. Enjoy!

You made many kind remarks about the “niceness” of Americans being genuine. My friend, you have that very gift with yourself. Good job!

It's very very difficult to become a state, but there are recent talks of Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state.

If i am not mistaken, I very well could be. The citys we have underwater are due to dams being bult and flooding the city. Im sure some of them have to do with dams failing too.

I also love the red trees that you marveled at in Ohio. In the autumn, the leaves of maple trees turn red before they fall off the trees. Entire hillsides of them are visible in many places in New England and the Midwest. Thousands of Americans travel to look at the trees every autumn. I heard that Vermont residents call these tourists "leaf peepers."

The flooded towns, . . . It is sort of true. When electricity became a thing, hydroelectric plants needed to be built, . . . rivers had to be called and some homes, villages and towns had to be relocated, or just abandoned. Since it has been about a century, there isn't much left. You might find some foundations. The structures were fairly well salvaged before the area was flooded. We used to get tons of driftwood from the submerged trees. Now we rarely see any. I am from an area that had numerous dams and reservoirs built in the early 1900's.

There are 4 towns in Central Massachusetts that were bought out by the state, dismantled and flooded as a reservoir for Boston during the 1930s. It's called the Quabbin definitely worth checking out through research , or even better in person

Geography now has a Fourth of July specials, about the US that came out roughly 9-10 months ago. They gave more in-depth explanation of the US. But the video is a bit long, it’s about an hour. You could probably turn it into a two-parter if you want 👍🏿.

Bash Bish Falls is wonderful but a bit of a chore to get to. If you enter from the New York side you have a decent walk overland through woods and rocky terrain and come out at the top of the falls. Enter from Connecticut and you have a decent walk up a rising path alongside the bolder-lined stream bed to rock basins that people sneak in to swim sometimes (the water is coooold 🥶) and you end up at the pool at the base of the fall. There is a path that connects to the top of the falls. Either entry's walk is a real workout but worth the effort. My late wife & I used to drive in from Springfield (Massachusetts) a couple or three times a summer and brought our 3 dogs...they used to love to swim and splash around in the stream at the low Connecticut entry. The water was pretty shallow and not real rapid. With that and the walk up to the falls and back, all 3 were normally laying on each other and snoring in the back seat on the ride home. As I recall...the Connecticut portion is the Taconic State Forest, and the Massachusetts part (where Bash Bish actually is) is the Mount Washington State Forest. Highly recommended.

Well, was just sitting here in the upper Midwest of the states and this popped into my feed, love your reaction, had to subscribe, going to be fun watching the channel grow

Great Reaction😊

Tishomingo is Choctaw. Rule of thumb in America, it if sounds funny it's probably tribal, then Spanish, then French. Puerto Rico is the most likely next state if there was going to be one. It's a US territory. However, they have always voted to remain a territory instead of becoming a state or becoming their own country until recent decades. However, Congress has to approve it which they will never do. The island is so corrupt and poorly run they are almost 100 billion in debt. That's not from hurricanes. The feds take tax money and pay for most of that. It's from socialist programs and misspending which they have no way to pay for. Also, the island would vote democratic and the republicans will never approve it. If it was likely to vote republican the democrats would never approve it. It's so bad there literally half the population lives on the mainland. They are the only territory that has full citizenship and can just up and move anytime also. Some people say the next state would be Washington DC however, that not legal. The district was carved out of a couple of states. Legally the land has to go back to those states if it isn't a district. The trees are mostly green spring and summer. In the fall the leaves on some trees turn red, orange, and yellow as they die for the winter. In spring the leaves come out green again. Pine and cedar trees are green all year and don't lose their leaves for the winter. If it stays a color other than green all year it's probably from another country.

In addition to Crater Lake and snow capped mountains, Oregon has some amazing fossil beds, as well as the little known but quite remarkable Owyhee Canyon.

When Europeans mock Americans for not traveling or being as “cultured” as they are, I think of these places. The scale of the United States is lost on 99% of those not from this continent. We travel, we visit other cultures, and see things we’ve never seen before all within our own country. I’ve been to 22 different countries and outside of pure tropical paradise, the USA offers it all

Most of the stranger names are Native American!❤

First! Great reaction but I would have picked other places that are nicer in several of the states. Each state has so much diversity that I guess it’s difficult to choose one but many of these would not have been my first choice for that state. Keep the reaction videos coming.

16:04 In western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming, west of Chimney Rock, are wagon ruts cut from Conestoga wagons from pioneers traveling to the west in the mid 1800s. The ruts are still there today. Chimney Rock was the pioneers landmark.

Chris, for years, the most likely choice for #51 has been Puerto Rico. But, time will tell. He's right in saying that Kodiak Island is an island, but in reality it's more than that--the main island of many forming a huge archapelago to the SW of Anchorage. Monument Valley is on the Navajo Reservation in the narrow spillover area from Arizona into Utah. Another spillover is to the east in New Mexico. I've visited, and it's breathtaking. He mispronounced Waimea Canyon as wye-uh-ME-uh; it's actually wye-MAY-uh. I visited around 2000, and it's beautiful, as is the entire state. The Illinois offering is in my city, and is second in the country to the Japanese Garden in Seattle. In the Iowa offering (Maquoketa), he switched the 'Q' and the 'T'; it's McCOKE-et-uh, rather than McCOAT-eh-cuh. Louisiana, being a state settled by French speakers evicted from Canada who twisted up the original French pronunciations, there are more than enough unanticipated pronunciations found in the state, this one being Vacherie = VASH-er-ee (town; Cajun French for ‘cow place’’, i.e., ‘ranch'). Michigan is the only state made up of 2 peninsulas. Only the lower one got shaded red on the map. North of the dark blue state (Wisconsin) to the west is the Upper Peninsula. He also said the sand hill is in Scenic Bear Dunes; it's Sleeping Bear Dunes. Tishomingo State Park, though it sounds Japanese, is actually named after a local Chickasaw (CHICK-uh-saw) Indian chief' who lived from 1758 to 1837 in Mississippi. Nebraska's Chimney Rock was used by settlers heading west on the Oregon Trail in the 1800s to verify they were still heading in the right direction. I visited back in 2019. The red and white lines in the Nevada section are natural, not built, as is everything in this video. The colorful trees are what results in the fall/autumn when the leaves change color before falling off the trees. Oregon's offering, Crater Lake, is a national park. What you said doesn't look healthy is Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone N.P., and the colors are produced by heat tolerant microbes in the boiling water, and is amazingly beautiful. I saw it in 2020.

The answer is yes, and in 2016 and 2017 the United States nearly grew to 52 states in the span of two years as both Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico both held referendum votes to decide whether the populations wanted to be considered sovereign States. Both votes passed with a majority in both territories and the decision moved on to the U.S. Congress who by the authority of the Constitution is granted the power to admit states that follow three criteria for obtaining statehood in the Union. 1. The prospective state and it's people must show a desire to live under and support a democratic form of government such as that of the United States Constitutional system. 2. The prospective state must show that the majority of it's electorate desires statehood. 3. The prospective state must be able to support a local government and it's share of the Federal Government. In 2016 The Democratic lead House of Representatives passed a bill to make D.C. a sovereign state. The Republican lead Senate and the Republican President had different ideas about admitting a traditionally Democratic leaning territory to statehood, and vowed to stop it. So Washington D.C.'s chances died in the Senate. Puerto Rico got it's chance in 2017 when the Democratic lead House passed the Island's bill for statehood. However because the Senate was at the time still overseen by the Republican Party who knew that admittance of the traditionally Democratic leaning territory would be the same as admitting D.C. into full statehood it didn't want to increase their odds of loosing power by adding new Electoral wins to their opponents side; it again let the bill die in their chamber. Thus, with these two bills they had forever proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that, Republicans will do anything to thwart the will of the people to maintain power.

Thank you for reacting to our beautiful country. I eventually want to visit all the National Parks. I’ve only been to a few. I’ve lived in several different states. States I’ve been to or lived in are California, Nevada, South Carolina, Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico, Florida, Washington (the state)Utah, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and now I live in Texas. The furthest I’ve ever driven was from Florida to Southern California. First National Park I ever went to was Zion. I’ve been to Sequoia twice, The Grand Canyon and Yosemite. I used to live right next to Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California

really liked your reaction vid, will be watching more of your work!

The flooded towns do exist! There were several in Tennessee from the creation of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) which was the creation of strategic dams along the riverways to prevent flooding in major cities and to provide Hydroelectricity at a low cost to thousands. People were made to vacate smaller towns for the dams to be built and the towns were flooded. A lot of people got little to no compensation, and it's something that gets skipped over a bit in history class. I am from Tennessee, and The Great Smoky Mountains are supposed to be the oldest mountains on earth! They have the most diverse variety of species of Salamanders in the world, and they look beautiful year-round. They get their name from those foggy mornings where they are so surrounded by clouds that they look mysterious and far away. Truly my favorite place ever!

During Autumn, many trees experience changing colors to their leaves. In some parts of the US, certain types of trees can turn red, yellow and browns. After a few weeks, they fall to the ground.

One of my favorite places is right near Mount Rainier in Washington State. It’s green, lush, and has an amazing view of the mountain.

Just in Texas alone we have desserts, lush Hill Country, vast plains, Mountains, Canyons, more coastline than any other state, Tropics, Sub Tropics, swamps, marshes, and coastal plains. Our wildlife is also extremely diverse. Mountain Lions, also known as cougars and Panthers. We have bears, alligators, long nose gar, alligator gar, wolves, coyotes, and just a plethora of other wildlife too numerous to mention here. Most of the U.S. has many beautiful places and unique attractions. But only in Texas will you find just about any type of ecosystem and environment that you can in any other parts of the United States.

The flooded towns thing is true. Lake Lanier in Georgia was a town called Oscarville which was flooded on purpose in the 1950's to create the lake, and many of the structures and unmarked graves were still there. It was a historically black town with 250+ families. The people there faced a lot of hate crimes, and eventually the county it resides in forced out all the black residents. Later on, the government decided to use eminent domain to buy private land for public use, and they displaced over a thousand people to create the lake. Lake Lanier remains one of the deadliest lakes in America. Since the construction of the lake was finished in 1956 about 700 people have died there, and over 200 people have died there in the past 30 years.

I will say some of these picks aren't that good like California should have been either the redwoods or Yosemite national park

I have been blessed to have visited several of these places. My favorite is in Utah, Zion National Park. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful places. So majestic. I have visited 32 of the 50 states but not all of the accompanying sites mentioned here.

Yellowstone is noted for grossers , mountains and the wildlife….❤it is spectacular! Stay at the Roosevelt. Shins and drive to Lamar valley and see the bison- So many beautiful places here in The USA👍😊

Loved your Reaction. But national parks are much more informative and Beautiful.

I enjoyed this video and learned some things about our country I didn't know. I look forward to seeing others on your channel. It's always fun seeing other people's impressions. Thanks.

A lot of strange names you'll hear in the US are from the original people of the US, the Indians. You mentioned a name sounding like Japanese; it was an Indian name.

Monument Valley is a day trip east of the Grand Canyon and also near Page and Horsehoe Bend

It's so good to watch your reactions to these. I'm an over the road truck driver, so I've seen more of America than most people get to, and many of these even I haven't gotten to see. Europeans often criticize Americans for not travelling outside the US, but international travel gets very expensive, and when the US is as large as it is, with so many wonderful things to see, you could spend a lifetime travelling the country and still not see everything. Travelling through the states is a lot like travelling to different countries at times. People are different, accents are different, cuisine is different, culture is different. I've seen more than most have, and still haven't even scratched the surface.

Every state has its own beauty but for me Jersey Pine Barrens are perfect. A sup tropical coastal pine forest that covers 1.1 million acres. Blue holes ( Ice cold natural pools), cranberry bogs, hidden rivers and channels. Tons of wild life and utterly unique.

Remember Chris, the U.S. is bigger than you think, especially if you drive. If you do drive it, check out the small communities and their little festivals and history along the way. I've ridden my motorcycle through all 50 states, and I'd say Yellowstone National Park, and Wyoming, is my favorite place to explore. Since you would be close, go over Bear Tooth Pass into Montana, just don't be scared. 😉 That would be a good bucket list addition for you, but one of the most amazing drives in the U.S. has to be The Road to Hana. It's a 64 mile stretch of road that starts in Kahului and ends at Kīpahulu. Along this road, there are 620 curves, 59 bridges, 46 of which are one lane. Try to go there off season. Really, any of the popular places might workout better just before, or just after, the tourist season, which is before May 31, to after September 1.

Yellowstone is a supervolcano! An older one is in the eastern Tennessee valley. North America's features were formed with collisions of techtonic plates, first from the east then from the west, hundreds of millions of years ago. Glad it is prettier now. H/T Chris.

The red sandstone rock formations get their color from iron oxide. The iron oxide is responsible for the red and orange colors, while calcium and magnesium contribute to the yellow and pink tones. The patterns were created over time with wind and water wearing them down until they are as you see them. We also have a lot of clay in the US, It's usually either brown or orange. You will see red, orange, and yellow in the autumn. We have much colder climates here and the change is made more brilliant by cold nights and warm days.. so autum colors will always be brighter in colder climates. We do occasionally see them in the south during a colder than average autum, usually when night temperatures are 30 degrees or more colder than the day temps. There are types of trees like black cherry and maple that are more likely to be red when the leaves change.

Most of what you are seeing is not manmade (yes the bridges etc) but the rock formations and looking like things are painted etc., those are all God's creations and we in America take pride in showing it off through our National Parks and our State Parks...this country is truly blessed!! Well, being from Ohio - and not too far from Logan State Park . . . but the red leaves are the fall colors of the Maple tree! I have one on my front yard and some fall seasons it looks like it is on fire - absolutely beautiful!!!

The "unhealthy" looking lake in Yellowstone Park is a Hot spring. The park is full of them it's very cool. I'm from Michigan we have more shoreline than any other state. We also boast the most lighthouses in the U.S. My first trip this summer is to Lake Michigan. We have a campsite, on top of a wooded dune overlooking the beach, reserved. Can't wait. Be sure to put Lake Michigan, South Haven, Ludington or Traverse City on your Bucket list. All charming towns full of beautiful views. The state is truly so beautiful I've never lived anywhere else in spite of having the opportunity to do so. The people are very friendly and we take pride in the cleanliness of our state. We recycle everything which eliminates a lot of trash.

Great video brah! I c ur channel growing and im here 4 tha ride!

I love your enthusiasm on the United States. It is a beautiful place. I hope you get to visit over here and I hope the people here will treat you with the utmost respect you deserve. May God Bless you and keep you safe and healthy. Can’t wait for more videos.

Trees in temperate climates have wider leaves and rely more upon sunlight for growth and nourishment than evergreens whose narrow needles supply the energy year round. I’m not articulate enough to explain photosynthesis and types of trees. Conifers developed to grow in regions that receive less sunlight. They don’t shed their needles like deciduous trees shed their leaves when the days become shorter and colder. The color change of deciduous trees occurs more noticeably when autumn comes quickly and the trees had good summer weather conditions. Days become shorter and cooler and the trees go into a dormant state. The chlorophyll in their leaves stops being produced and the natural yellow, oranges and red colors start showing up. That beautiful display only lasts a short while before the tree goes dormant for the winter season and drops its brown dry leaves on your lawn. Americans own rakes and lawn waste bags for a reason. Some cities actually have special trucks that suck up the leaves if you rake them to the curb!

Apparently the requirement to get on this list was: waterfalls, caves, rocks or maybe a lake or garden.

About towns under water, yes, it's true. More often, they were small towns, with populations that were poor, often Black communities. What happened was, dams were built for flood control and electricity generation, which helped more people than flooding the towns hurt. Sometimes the people were paid for their property, or given new land nearby in a land-swap. This happened in northeast Tennessee, to a city that is now called Rocky Top (after the song by that name). It was originally called Coal Creek, because it was a city by that creek. The residents, moved aside, renamed their city jokingly "Lake City," as their new homes were by the newly made lake, which submerged their former city. They changed it to Rocky Top in 2014 to try to get tourists to visit, but it is not anything special. Just a hick town, with a lot of people who seem strangely suspicious of visitors. About the red trees, there are several Native species that turn red in the Autumn, including Black Maple, Scarlet Oak, and many sumac species, among many others. We have yellows, oranges, and browns that are tinged with red sometimes. It depends on where on the continent you are. Here in East Tennessee, we have a little bit of most things, colourwise, in the Fall, because we are largely a river valley nestled by the Appalachian Mountains, so lots of topographic differences. I live just one county from the Smoky Mountain park mentioned, and in fact, on a clear day, I can see it from my yard, as I live on a ridgetop in Knoxville. If you visit, you might want to spend a day at Dollywood, but bring sunscreen. The drive up to Gatlinburg is pretty, and outside of that city, there are places to camp and hike, or cabins to rent. That pond you saw in Yosemite Park is definitely not healthy, for us. It is hot from geyser water, but the colors are partly from extremophiles that live in that water, nearly boiling hot.

Very surprised the video didn't include Starved Rock State Park for Illinois! Illinois is known for being very flat, but Starved Rock has 18 canyons that were formed by glaciers, and also has waterfalls and caves! The area is hugely significant in Native American history (Native Americans have been in the area since 8,000 years ago!), and the trees are very vibrantly red and yellow in the autumn. It's also considered an official National Historic Landmark :)

As a lifelong Alaskan I am happy the vid mentioned Kodiak! I recommend first-time visitors go mid June to early July for all the spectacular wildflowers, fish, and the best chance for sunshine. Not to mention the sweet fresh untainted ocean air.

New Hampshire resident but grew up in Iowa with family in Washington State. Also spent 11+ years in Germany. In the fall, our sugar maple trees turn reds and oranges before falling. Fall in New England is pretty amazing. This video shows just a few of the great places to visit. The U.S. is such a large country, there are huge varieties from coast to coast. It is hard to understand how large the U.S. is unless you try to drive from coast to coast.

Great video!!! American football video reactions seem to do well. Here comes the boom is the best one.

I am 70 now but by age 40 I had visited all 50 states and been to every National Park, Forest or Seashore. I have to keep going to other ones in the past 30 years or revisit my favorites. I admit bias. So Alaska and Hawaii have the best with Wyoming coming in Top 3 States. However my Favorite is xxxxx I am not telling you the name became no public transportation. The only way to get there is by personal vehicle. Don't plan on listening to your cell phone, radio or TV. None of them will work here. If you dont take it with you dont expect to find it. This park has mountains, bears, mountain lions, endangered species that rarely are seen even in zoos but are common here. You must be prepared here or you will die. This park shares border with Mexico but immigration rarely bothers to put barriers. The reason is simple. You would die before getting out from elements. So now you have enough clues. Oh unlike Yellowstone it is never crowded and we like it that way.
