    Why mixes reviews ? It’s not the usual desi kind of spot so don’t go by their reviews .

    I have yet to see a national park as magnificent and scenic as Yellowstone in my life . Breathtaking vistas , Wildlife (bisons, bears, elks roaming freely ) , nature , geysers , volcanoes , waterfalls . It’s spectacular and a must see place . You must definitely camp out there .

    Shravs ! You have a long list here ! Tickets/ hotels are more expensive when schools have summer break / thanksgiving break/ spring break/ Christmas break and other long weekends . So travel at other times if that’s possible. Cheap to book tickets well in advance if you can plan before hand . If you have plans to travel a lot get a good travel credit card to book flights, hotels .
    Enjoy maadi!

    Most of the places have been covered in this thread and I have loved going to most of these if not all.

    I am also more into natural beauty because the vastness of nature is mind-blowing here. One particular national park I am in love with is the Great Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I haven't been to Yellowstone or Yosemite and I am sure those are equally enthralling.

    The Smokies are extremely picturesque and there's abundance of wilderness that you can see for yourself if you hike on the trails. The city of Gatlinburg in itself is adorable, although some find it a bit touristy, I felt it's like Alice in Wonderland!

    I find visiting museums and national parks more enriching than the cities, because most of these cities here are similar in some way or other, especially when it comes to food. You can save money by looking for deals on cheap airlines, saving on baggage fee, booking for rental cars in advance, taking advantage of hotwire deals.

    I have a question, can Indian citizens travel to Puerto Rico with a US visa or is there any other requirement? @Sunburst

    Puerto is a part of US so no special entry visa required if you have a valid US visa .
