Nature lovers can visit the Grand Canyon, drive through the Red Rock Canyon, or visit the massive Hoover Dam. Travel to California to see the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, enjoy the rides at Universal Studios Hollywood, or relax on the coast in Santa Barbara. Go to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and take a boat to Alcatraz Island. You can also experience nature in Yosemite National Park and walk among giant trees in Muir Woods National Monument.
