High in California’s Eastern Sierra, just off Highway 395, lies a body of water so strange it might as well be from another planet. Mono Lake is a landlocked saltwater basin that’s more than 760,000 years old — one of the oldest lakes in North America. But what truly makes it a hidden wonder is what rises from its waters: towering, ghostly formations called tufa.
There's something about the sound of 3,000 tons of water crashing down every second that stirs something deep inside you. Niagara Falls isn't just a natural attraction — it's a full-body experience. The mist hits your face, the roar drowns out your thoughts, and the raw power leaves your jaw somewhere near your shoes.
If waterfalls had souls, St. Nectan’s Glen would be an old one. Tucked away in a deep, wooded valley near Tintagel, Cornwall — the legendary land of King Arthur — lies a forest glade that hums with something ancient. Here, a narrow trail leads you not just through nature, but into a realm where Celtic legend, quiet prayer, and elemental beauty intertwine.
