Hoover Dam! Massive scale and beautiful. I didn’t know they had a presidential naming battle over that. FDR didn’t want to have it named after Hoover, so tried his best to call it “Boulder Dam”. Was formally named Hoover Dam by Truman in 1947.

6) Yosemite National Park - an amazing beautiful place. Stayed 5 nights. Everything is convenient and well managed. Went on lovely walks every day.
