There’s a lot to love about Montana. The great outdoors and the opportunity to be exposed to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world are just a few things we love about living here. But there’s also immense history located throughout the state. And, undoubtedly, one of the best things is when these two things come together. Few people outside the state know that the first national park in America is right here in Montana. And that’s something special!

Utah’s national parks are popular spots for both locals and visitors, and it’s easy to see why – all five parks offer stunning beauty and tons of recreational opportunities. The Big Five: Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Capitol Reef National Parks received more than 10.5 million visitors during 2017, but there’s one park that has way fewer annual guests than the others, and it’s well worth the journey: Canyonlands is the most underrated national park in Utah.

Grand Teton National Park is home to so much more than remarkable mountains, alpine lakes, and gorgeous, rocky trails. If you spend some time exploring the outskirts of the park, you’ll find historic homesteads, buildings, cabins, and even a beautiful chapel! Of all of the landmarks in the area, though, the most photographed spot in Wyoming is likely down on Mormon Row. The T.A. Moulton and John Moulton barns, which you can find along the Antelope Flats section of the Jackson Hole valley, are the most photographed barns in the entire country.
The Gem State certainly has plenty of creepy, spooky, and haunted places to visit. From parks to buildings and even hotels, there are dozens of destinations where you can experience paranormal activity. One of these is found in a small town cemetery in Idaho. The Ammon Cemetery, located in southeastern Idaho near Idaho Falls, is certainly small but if you love all things spooky and creepy this place is for you. This cemetery is not only believed to be haunted but when you visit, you’ll be quite impressed — it’s beautiful here.
