Epitome of "America"
I have three candidate locations for the most "American" travel
spot. In no particular order:
- The Grand Canyon -- because nobody else has got one or anything
remotely like it, so far as I know. It's our most singular natural
phenomenon.
- Mesa Verde -- the most impressive and extensive cliff-dwelling
site of the Anasazi makes this the largest testimony to the original
human inhabitants.
- Ellis Island -- because a visit to Ellis Island and a few hours
of self-touring there gives one a much clearer understanding of why
the country of today got this way.
