Hidden gems are dispersed throughout the varied landscapes of the United States, and these lesser-known, stunning locations of extraordinary natural beauty have been highlighted in a recent Reader’s Digest travel article:

“If you travel frequently, you probably already know about popular tourist attractions in every state—but what about those smaller places that offer unique experiences? You may know about hidden gems in New York City, Los Angeles and other major cities, but what about those oh-so-cool secret locations in the heartland? Well, turns out, there are plenty of hidden gems in the U.S. that are must-see destinations.
These hidden gems around the country show a little part of each state’s history and are sure to make for a memorable experience.”

While the concept of the most gorgeous destination in every state is subjective, this list will introduce options to those who aren’t already familiar with such remarkable and often underrated spots that have the power to leave a profound, lasting impact and that offer a sense of wonder and discovery. 

In Kentucky, this special place is the Lost River Cave in Bowling Green:

“This 70-acre gem features the only underground river cave tour in Kentucky. In addition to some cool history—the caves were a campsite for nomadic groups and a shelter for troops during the Civil War—the Lost River Cave includes meadowlands, wetlands and trails. Tours are available seven days a week, and the park is closed on major winter holidays.”
