Best Photo Spots in United States - Page 12

Antique Truck Graveyard

The location's name is P L Duncan Trucking Inc, but the photo spot consists of a few acres of land, on which you'll find dozens of antique trucks from all different manufacturers. REMEMBER this is private property, so be sure to stop by the main office and ask permission to...

Pololu Valley Lookout

You can get reasonable views from the trailhead, but as long as you are moderately fit, and don't mind get your shoes or boots muddy, take the trail down the valley and rocky beach. Just don't forget that you will have to hike back up again. (more…)

Tumacacori National Historical Park

One of Arizona's treasures is Tumacacori National Historical Park.  Located in the park is Mission San Jose de Tumacacori, the oldest Spanish mission in southern Arizona.  You can walk inside the ruins of the Franciscan church, and there is a very nice courtyard garden along with a heritage orchard.  Beginning...

Rainbow Bridge National Monument

Lake Powell is a popular vacation spot that straddles the Arizona/Utah border.  Although Rainbow Bridge can be reached via two 16-18 mile hiking trails (which require back-country permits from the Navajo Nation), most people take a boat tour to the bridge.  Since most of the tour is in the middle...

San Rafael Valley

About 16 miles past the charming community of Patagonia, Arizona, is a remote area called San Rafael Valley.  The valley is dotted with farms and cattle ranches, but it still feels like isolated wilderness.  It is one of the quietest places my wife and I have ever been to, and...

Sparks lake

Sparks Lake is beyond beautiful. It is perhaps one of the calmest and most majestically beautiful places I have been to. It’s a feeling quite difficult to explain until you experience it. The main view is quite close to the jetty and you can get to it by following the...

Thor’s Well

The area around Thor’s Well is quite impressive. Right next to Thor’s Well is another interesting sight, the Spouting Horn. The rest of the coastline is craggy and it is possible to use the craggy rocks and the effervescent ocean for any number of photo ops. Thor’s Well itself is...

Brooklyn Bridge Park

This area is quite popular in general and is (unfortunately or fortunately) a bit of a tourist trap. On the weekends, the crowds can be a bit overwhelming. The neighbouring Smorgasburg food fair rings a ton of people here in the summers. As a photo spot, it is quite popular...

Nags Head Fishing Pier

The Nags Head Fishing Pier is one of the few remaining wooden piers on the Outer Banks coast. Each year these piers are damaged by seasonal storms and replaced with concrete versions, so get your shots while it's still there. While I'm starting to find "under-the-pier" shots a bit repetitious,...

Monument Valley

There are several 'iconic' locations within the park, many of which you've probably seen in movies and TV commercials.  The picture above is the spot in the movie 'Forrest Gump' where he decides that he's tired of running coast-to-coast. Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), in the movie 'Vacation', jumped the family car...
