Tired of traveling to the same spots over and over again? We don’t blame you. After all, vacations are meant to be exciting, so it’s important to mix things up from time to time. Luckily, we have the solution for tired getaways. At Nook, we’re all about trying new things, and what better way could there be to broaden your horizons than by seeing new horizons? That’s why we’ve compiled a list of three of the most interesting places to travel in the U.S. Whether it’s because of their rich history, one-of-a-kind landmarks, or stunning environments, these destinations are just the thing to break you out of your vacation rut.
There are few things more interesting than the beauty of nature. From the picturesque peaks above to the radiant rivers below, nature is home to some of the most striking sights you can see. Here’s one of the most interesting places to travel in the U.S. if you’d like to experience the beauty of nature.
Few towns in the world can say they neighbor two national parks, but Jackson Hole can. In fact, you can visit Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. The first thing you’ll notice about Grand Teton National Park is its mountains. These majestic peaks cap out at 14,000 feet in altitude, making for a stunning sight that greets you long before you even approach the park. Those incredible views aren’t the only thing that makes Grand Teton one of the most interesting places to travel to in the U.S. though. The park has plenty of hot springs too, like Kelly Warm Spring. Of course, you’ll find no shortage of hiking trails here either, so there are plenty of ways to stay active while enjoying some great sightseeing. Be sure to hike to Hidden Falls. As its name suggests, you’ll find a stunning waterfall as you trek across the trail.
Meanwhile, Yellowstone National Park offers plenty of its own excitement. Explore 140 miles of shoreline at Yellowstone Lake. Or, take a motorboat or charter a guideboat to fish on the water. Did you know Yellowstone National Park is home to more free-roaming wildlife than almost anywhere else in the continental U.S.? It’s true! There are nearly 300 species of birds and a broad range of mammals like black bears, lynxes, otters, and more! Once you’re done observing the wildlife, you can gaze up at the night sky. After all, the national park strives to minimize light pollution, giving you an amazing view of the stars each night.
An interesting place to travel in the U.S. calls for an interesting place to stay; that’s where Alpine House comes in! Alpine House has a striking, European-inspired design that stands out in the rustic town of Jackson Hole. This boutique hotel is also near the National Elk Refuge, which protects and preserves Jackson Hole’s elk population.

Sure, the big cities are great, but there’s nothing quite as charming as exploring a small town. From striking culture to the delicious local food, small towns are some of the most interesting places to visit in the U.S. So, let’s take a look at one of the best!
When you think of charming, coastal towns, Bar Harbor should be the first name that comes to mind. This picturesque New England hideaway is known for having some of the best seafood in the region. You can savor Bar Harbor Blonde oysters, world-famous Maine lobster, and more! Not to mention, you can stop by the Bar Harbor Oyster Company to tour the oyster farm by kayak or sample freshly harvested oysters!
Even aside from the food, there’s plenty to see in Bar Harbor. Stroll through downtown Bar Harbor to see the many charming local shops and restaurants in town. Of course, as a seaside town, it should come as no surprise that Bar Harbor also boasts plenty of boat tours! These tours can take you to many landmarks in the area, including several island lighthouses in Maine. Although exploring Bar Harbor offers more than enough fun on its own, Acadia National Park is also just a short drive away. With its cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and charming downtown area, Bar Harbor is one of the most interesting places to travel to in the U.S.
Terramor Outdoor Resort’s motto is refinement, unpaved, and it’s easy to see why. Tucked away in a lush forest just minutes from Acadia National Park, this outdoor resort offers luxury tents, making it one of the most interesting places you can stay in the U.S. Moreover, with features like plush beds, luxe linens, private showers, private fire pits, electricity, and Wi-Fi, Terramor’s tents bring the comfort and convenience of home to the great outdoors.

What could be more interesting than rocketing down a mountain at high speeds? Skiing is already one of the most interesting things you can do on vacation. Now, we’ll be showing you one of the most interesting places to travel in the U.S. if you want to go skiing.
Stowe may not be as well-known as Heavenly Mountain or Vail, but it’s easily one of the best ski resorts on the East Coast. Here, you’ll find 116 ski trails, 12 lifts, and 465 acres of skiable terrain around Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. Skiing isn’t the only winter sport you can enjoy here, though. You can also go snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice skating, and cross-country skiing. As a result, Stowe is a great spot to visit for a winter getaway, especially at Christmas, when you’ll experience plenty of special events.
Of course, not everyone in your travel group may want to be active all the time. Fortunately, there’s plenty of things to do even for travelers who prefer to take it easy. You’ll find Spruce Peak Village Center just a short drive away from Mount Mansfield, which is home to plenty of great activities. You can take in the majesty of the mountains with a scenic gondola ride, or sample your way through an upscale country market. Stowe isn’t just a great place to ski; it’s a great place to experience all of winter, making it one of the most interesting places to travel to in the U.S.
When it comes to staying near Mount Mansfield, it doesn’t get better than Outbound Stowe. Outbound Stowe is a cozy outdoor hotel located just a few miles from downtown. So, you’ll have no trouble having fun at one of the most interesting places in the U.S. When you’re not challenging the slopes, you’ll have plenty of great amenities and spacious accommodations to help you kick back and relax.
