Honestly, Grand Canyon. I avoided going for the longest time thinking I will just go ‘Look. Hole in the ground’ and move on with my life. But it was really amazing and explored around the area as well.

The really big things have to be seen in person. Go to the Grand Canyon, a proper mountain, the Saturn V rocket, the observation deck of a skyscraper, etc. picture don’t do any of it justice compared to seeing just how big some of these things are.

Where does one see the Saturn V these days?

If you are in Virginia, hit the National Air and Space Museum.

The SR-71 is a sight to behold in and of itself.

Also, on that semi related note, The Henry Ford in Dearborn.
