CALIFORNIA HAS MANY, MANY BEAUTIFUL AND FASCINATING PLACES OF INTEREST !!!
LIKE IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth-largest city in California and the fourteenth-largest in the United States, with a 2005 population of 739,426. It is located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula and has traditionally been the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco is the second most densely populated major city in the United States.
The 49-Mile Scenic Drive (also known as 49-Mile Drive) in and around San Francisco highlights many of The City’s major attractions and historic structures.
Created as a promotion for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition it featured views of the newly built Golden Gate Bridge (opened May, 1937) and the Bay Bridge (opened November, 1936). It terminated at the fairgrounds on Treasure Island.
POINTS OF INTEREST:
The Drive is marked by blue and white signs that lead you through the city. It all begins at the intersection of Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue, near City Hall:

Southern California…. The entire coast ROCKS!!
Starting in San Diego CA, then work your way north. Then across the country…. zig Zag your way throught it.
Every City in Sounther CA, has a tourist map type thing and it will also tell you about each activity for that particular place. Im sure the rest of the American Continent will have a similar web site for you to check out.

I would recommend visiting all the regions. The New England States, the eastern seaboard states, the South, the mid-west and the West. Have a nice trip.

I think it depends on what you want to see. If you’re just interested in seeing the famous "sights" that most tourists choose to see- then yes, you check out San Francisco, or the Grand Canyon, or Niagara Falls, or New York City, etc.. But if you REALLY want to "see & experience" the people AND places of my beautiful country, then buy a Greyhound Ameripass- and see the U.S. by bus. The bus goes just about everywhere in the U.S., you can get on & off whenever you like- & see whatever you wish. It’s not an easy trip to make…-but it IS one you will never forget. Happy traveling & welcome!

there are 100’s of places to visit in America depending on how you are traveling and from what start point. from Texas;however, I would travel to South Dakota to see Mt Rushmore. You can start by going New Mexico,Colorado,Wyoming , than South Dakota. Seeing everything from white sands, to grand canyon
different ranches in Wyoming for fun and games, than to the flinstone park, crazy horse mem. and Mt Rushmore with multiple buffalo,and other different wildlife.
