      When I was little, they told us an easy way to remember which is which: stalacTITES are the ones on the ceiling - they're hanging upside down, so they have to hold on TIGHT. Like I said, we were little kids in grade school.

    A place that these videos usually omit is the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway that starts in Cherokee, North Carolina and follows the mountain ridges going northeast through Virginia. The mountains are so beautiful when the scores of mountain wildflowers are blooming and in the autumn when the greenery changes to red, orange and yellow. Speed limit on the road is 35mph and there are numerous turn outs for viewing the scenery.

My brother comes in the fall (but before the colors change) and we go up and look at the beautiful vistas. We usually go to the Folk Art Center and browse for gifts, etc.

There are boat tours that run daily where you can see many types of birds, alligators, deer, black bears.

    Multnomah Falls is now a state park. You used to be able to cool off in the lower part of the falls until a large rock fell into it and they closed it to people getting into it. A few years ago, an idiot teenager during a dry summer set off a smoke bomb firework and burned the area through much of the park, fortunately sparing the lodge and other facilities, but the fire burned east up Interstate 84 for about 12 miles and because of the wind, even jumped clear across the Columbia River and set a large fire in Washington State. There are some other areas in the NW you might want to check out, Crater Lake in Oregon, The Olympic National Park in NW Washington, also nearby Hurricane Ridge and the rain forest on the west side, which I believe are all included. There are many other places I can think of and many I can't, but those I have been to.

The stalactites grow down from the ceiling and the stalagmites grow up from the ground caused by the moisture that drips and when it dries what's left behind is are the minerals that build up, What they don't mention are the bats that live there!🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

    One of the great things about the USA is that we not only have these massive National Parks but also National Refuge sites, National Historic sites and so forth; but we also have the State Parks and State sponsored sites of various kinds. Now as for what is the most beautiful or most amazing, that of course is a matter of opinion and I'm sure that if you asked 25 different Americans from all over the country, you would get 25 different lists of what the 10 most beautiful or most amazing sites would be in their opinion. The great thing is that there is no right or wrong with any of these list. America is just so vast that this is why so many Americans never visit out of country. You could spend an entire lifetime and never see all there is to see in this country. But it sure is fun trying!!!

    For Oregon, I'd go with Crater Lake over Multnomah Falls, though the latter is certainly easier to get to. You have to drive out through an area that looks like the surface of an alien planet to get to Crater Lake, and it's about 4 hours minimum from literally any other place. (slight exaggeration)

    On #9 Hawaii, I remember see a history channel show on formation of the islands. The one shown is one of the oldest if not the oldest in the chain.

    I worked at Carlsbad Caverns. They have two tours. One, you walk a trail downhill slightly as you go and you see the various formations. They used to use handsets that when you reached a certain point you put to your ear and it would describe what you see. It ends at the Big Room and you take the elevator back to the surface.
    The second tour is just the big room, you take the elevator down, explore the big room and go back up.
    My favorite was the Bat Cave. Everyday at sundown you gather outside the entrance and thousands of bats come flying out of the cave mouth, missing the crowd by inches, cm to you foreigners lol. It is scary the first time because it startles you, but it is fantastic to experience

      AND that slight downhill hike still requires good footwear. You'll be at it several hours... It's not rough ground particularly, but a solid hike, so GOOD shoes or you'll regret it for days after. ;o)

  • @larryfontenot9018
    @larryfontenot9018 ปีที่แล้ว

    Stalactites are the cave formations that hang from the ceiling. They are formed by water sinking down from the surface and picking up minerals on the way. When it gets to the cave, the water drips down but leaves a trace amount of the minerals behind, and those build up over hundreds of years to form the spikes. Stalagmites are the other end of the process. As the drops of water that form stalactites hit the ground beneath, the minerals in them build up mounds. So unless they form over a lake or stream, there's always a stalagmite under every stalactite. They are usually sets.

    Very good reaction video! I can attest to the fact that Carlsbad Caverns is a great destination. My parents took my sister and me there, when were young. I took my wife there after we were married, and later, we took our daughter there when she was little. The lighted trail is pretty much downhill all the way to the end, then has elevators to take you back up to the surface gift shop/cafeteria. ❤

    You guys should check out the video : Accents Experts give a tour of US accents, part 1. A really good video of how our country is different in certain regions.

    The ocean views of Kauai are spectacular but the best way to visit here is to rent a car as we did when we vacationed there in 2008. Words can barely describe the natural beauty of this place.

    I was just in Key West and the Dry Tortugas a couoke of months ago. Key West is great and lots of stuff to do and see. The Dry Tortugas park is nice but if you aren't diving or snorkeling, there isn't much to do. Plus, its a long boat ride out there. We did a lot of fishing on the way out there so it wasn't too bad. Take a boat trip around Key West even if you don't want to go all the way out to the Tortugas.

    Stalagtites hang tight to the ceiling while stalagmites stand tall and mighty on the ground.

    Multnomah Falls comes from Larch Mountain, not "Lark" Mountain as the narrator said.

    StalaCtites grow from the Ceiling, stalaGmites come up from the Ground. That’s how I was taught to remember it, many moons ago, lol!

    Carlsbad Caverns is cool. You can eat lunch in the Big Room.

    Carlsbad is very interesting. It takes a hour or two to walk down and see all the formations. That large chamber is fantastic. Then when your finished it can take the elevator backup. If you are in El Paso, Texas it's a nice day trip and the next day you can go to White Sands. There they have huge WHITE sand dunes. They are white because they are made of gypsum. Looks like snow.

      I have been to both of them, and the White Sands Military Museum is also amazing.

    I've been to Carlsbad Caverns as an 11 year old kid way back in 1985. The Big Room is the lowest part of the cave system. To get there you can either take a winding hike down through the upper part of the cave, or you cah take an elevator down to a refreshment/bathroom area within the cave. It said that the Big Room was 4000 ft lomg and 625 ft wide. That's roughly 12.5 American Football Fields long, and about 2 Fields wide. It's HUGE. Even as a kid, i loved this visit to the cavern. Ws had bought one of those Tourist Books about it before going into the cavern and i had familiarized myself with the rock formations that i saw in the book, and then tried to find them agaih in real life while on the hike. To compare my age then and now, I'm turning 50 tomorrow. And i still remember that trip fairly well.

    I grew up in Montana close to Glacier National Park. I've been to Yellowstone and unless I was taking kids age 9-12 I would choose Glacier 10 times out of 10.

    I want to visit Tintagle Castle , see the Statue of King Arthur!I know a lot would say was not real, but when I think of him, I get chills and goosebumps all over me. Seeing that statue.

    Great video and reaction! I am from the East Coast of America but I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've traveled all over America and in other countries. I think that the most beautiful places that I have visited are Yosemite National Park, Sedona (in Arizona), the Grand Canyon, Big Bend National Park (in Texas) and small spots like Muir Woods or Burney Falls in Northern California (the latter which is one of my favorite camping destinations).
    While this video was nice, I think that I have enjoyed the views from atop Half Dome or at Glacier Point (both in Yosemite) than anything that I've seen on the Hawaiian Islands. There are places like Lassen Volcanic National Park that have fewer visitors but offer breathtaking views. Last month, I climbed to the top of Mt. Lassen (an active volcano with an elevation of 10,457 feet) and offered amazing views -- even of Mt. Shasta nearly 100 miles away.

    Wish the narrator would say the dangers of those Prismatic springs. A lot of ppl wont realize if you get in that water you will most likely die before you can get out bc it cooks you.

    I'd stress that these 10 are pretty controversial and I could name a number of places left off the list I'd rather see: Grand Teton National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Yosemite Valley, any old-growth coastal redwood grove (there are a number of them up and down the CA coast), Smokey Mountains, Okeefenokee or Great Dismal Swamps, Everglades, Big Sur or almost anywhere north of that along the West Coast, Overseas Highway. I'm sure there are others I'm hardly aware of. I tend to think Southwestern rock formations are overly represented in these internet videos.

    I worked at Carlsbad Caverns for 5 years. And your mum is correct Stalactite and stalagmite are the correct terms. Then you also have columns where the two have met. The caves are a constant 13.3C with 100% humidity year round, a light jacket may be needed at first but you warm up quickly walking around. You can enter via the natural entrance and walk 800ft down and then 50ft up to reach the underground lunch room or you can use the elevator to go directly there.

    For generations, the first park, namely, Zion, has been pronounced ZYE-un. However, inexplicably, in recent years I've heard it mispronounced ZYE-ahn. It's pronounced the same as the mountain in Jerusalem, and that's what Utah's Mormon pioneers named it for back in the 1800s.
    With 640 acres in a sq. mi., there are 167.7 sq, mi./270 sq. km. in CO's Great Sand Dunes N.P.
    Years ago, my mom taught my brother and me how to keep stalactites and stalagmites straight. The former are tight to the ceiling, and the latter might reach the ceiling.
    In the Grand Prismatic Spring section, the Haydn Expedition was mentioned as being there in 1871. The following year, Yellowstone was made the world's first national park. Apparently they were impressed.😊
    Several years ago, while I was spending part of my vacation in FL, I took the ferry out to Dry Tortugas. What a beautiful place. By the way, in case you're curious, "dry" means there's no potable water there, and "tortugas" is Spanish for "tortoises".
    Across the border in Canada from Glacier N.P. is their portion of the total reserved territory--Waterton Lakes N.P.

    There are lots of names for cave structures stalactites (growing down) and stalagmites (growing up) are two of the most common.
