Weird Tourist Spots and Mysterious Places!

There are many unique, interesting and unusual places worth visiting here in the United States.

Once such location is the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States. Including the northeast corner of Arizona, the northwest corner of New Mexico, the southwest corner of Colorado and the southeast corner of Utah, this spot is the only one in which a single person can be in four states at one time!

At the Four Corners you'll find a wooden platform divided into four sections, each section in a different state. Pay a visit and be one of the few people who can say they've stood in four states simultaneously!

Another area with interesting natural phenomena is Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. With buffalo, grizzly bears and many other unusual species of wild animals wandering around the park, there is much here of interest to the lover of nature and wildlife. Check out the aquamarine hot springs, and be sure to see the world's most famous geyser, Old Faithful! Erupting faithfully every 91 minutes, this geyser is certainly a sight to be seen.

For those more interested in the mysterious and supernatural, there is "America's Stonehenge" in Salem, New Hampshire (http://www.stonehengeusa.com) . I visited this site for the first time once when I was very young, and the memory of it has never left me. America's Stonehenge, once known as Mystery Hill, is a thirty acre site of various stone structures, tunnels, standing stones, and artifacts.

The origins of America's Stonehenge are unknown, but it is a fact that they were constructed hundreds of years before the first European settlers arrived. Theories abound, but exactly what this site is all about is anyone's guess. I personally think aliens did it. Seems kinda obvious. Pay a visit to America's Stonehenge and experience the mystery for yourself!

There are lots of other unusual sites and mysterious attractions scattered across the United States. So pack up the car, take a long weekend and see what strange sights you can discover, you slacker! Because it's better than getting a job!
