A new year, a new chance to travel the expanse of America the Beautiful to see the hidden corners of the country and witness the breathtaking scenery, friendly atmosphere, unique attractions and eclectic vibes of some of the most gorgeous spots in the U.S.
According to a list compiled by U.S. News & World Report of the 30 “best places to visit in the USA for 2025,” two destinations in Arizona are among the top spots to see this year. At No. 4, Grand Canyon National Park is always a stunner and a “bucket-list destination for many travelers,” while Sedona, No. 24, was recognized for its “jaw-dropping red rock formations, ancient cliff dwellings and supposed energy vortexes.”
Other must-visit locales on the list include Glacier National Park, Maui, New York City, Moab, San Francisco and Key West, to name a few.
Here’s what U.S. News & World Report had to say about determining its list of the top spots to visit in America:
“From coastlines to big cities, the United States is made up of so many diverse destinations that it’s hard to decide which places deserve distinction of the best in America. That’s why U.S. News considered a variety of factors, such as attractions, accommodations and dining options, as well as votes from thousands of travelers, to determine the best places to visit in the USA.”
