5 Things to Try out During Your US Tour

5 Things to Try out During Your US Tour

The US attracts many tourists from around the world throughout the year. Tourists flock in to see various monumental sites and participate in events such as parades and festivals. 

The US government has introduced the Virtual Waiver program to process ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications. You can apply for US ESTA and once your application has been approved you can visit all states countrywide. 

ESTA allows citizens from 40 EU countries including Germany, Italy, and Austria. Take a look at the different places you could visit within the US once your ESTA application goes through. 

• Yellowstone National Park

The Wyoming park has world-famous geysers and is occupied by many wild animals including bison and wolves. January is ideal for a trip to the national park since there are less tourists.

During this time you can experience the transformation of Yellowstone into a beautiful winter wilderness. Animals such as bison are even easier to spot because of their contrast to their surroundings. 

• Thousands Islands

With more than 1800 small islands, Thousands Islands has topped the must-list for most tourists. The islands are home to many different types of freshwater fish. Particularly during summer, you can get the most from the islands.

The salmon, bass, and northern pike are quite common during the hot season.

If you are looking to reel in the giant fish, you might wind up with the muskies at the end of your hook. But, if you’ve just started as an angler, don’t feel intimated. You can try your luck in any of these islands within New York.

• Denali National Park

Alaska has more rain and fewer clouds in August. However, August is still a great time to visit the place. You can tour the Denali National Park and spot golden eagles, caribou, bears, and wolves. The bears are usually coming out of their hibernation period around this time. Hence, you are likely to get them hunting salmon and eating berries.

In particular, these bears enjoy blueberries which are juicy and fat during the season. You could also participate in the Alyeska Berry Festival and take a bite of the tasteful blueberries.

• Washington – Cherry Blossom Season

Though many tourists have visited Washington DC for the historic museums, the new ones are also attracting their audience. Besides the museums, you could try catching sight of the cherry blossom season during spring.

While some may argue that Japan has an attractive cherry blossom season, there’s no harm in exploring other parts of the world. Normally, between late March and early April, you can see the cherry blossom trees bloom in Washington. If you want to catch an even better view of this bloom, head over to Tidal Basin.

With more than 3000 trees, you’re sure to experience a warm fuzzy feeling just by watching the radiant bloom. Just before you wrap up your Washington tour, you can take a photo at the Lincoln Memorial. Other places that you could get a wonderful snap of include the White House and National Mall.

• Colorado Skiing

Colorado is a dream destination if you are an outdoors enthusiast. You can have a fulfilling outdoor experience, from normal ski resorts to heli-skiing. 

This means you can have fun dropping from helicopters at Telluride instead of traditional ski lifts. You can also visit Steamboat Springs if you are up to taking a dip in a natural hot spring.
