Photographer Mark Hartman picks some of his favorite parks, towns and attractions along his cross-country odyssey.
LessI’ve never seen any place so immaculate in the U.S. The combination of swimming holes, hikes, and glaciers make this place so unique. I recommend the Grinnell Glacier hike on the east side of the park in the Many Glacier region.
I am obsessed with Big Sur. Sleeping on the cliffs, I would hear clear whale sounds echoing against them. I think this is the most beautiful part of the U.S.
The area has huge sandstone formations and hoodoos that resemble goblins. I’ve never seen any place like it.
A World Heritage Site that boggles your mind, this community had very advanced technology and understanding of astronomy ahead of its time. The society flourished and then vanished. Its deeper history remains a mystery, with plenty of speculation among anthropologists. It’s a fascinating place.
A beautifully preserved western town that attracts a lot of artists; I fell in love with this town. I believe comedian Doug Stanhope lives there.
