Hidden Gems

This collection features unconventional landmarks across the United States. In the Nevada desert, Seven Magic Mountains showcases towering neon boulders, while Seattle offers the textured Gum Wall and the secluded Waterfall Garden Park. Visit the historic Ye Olde Curiosity Shop for oddities or Washington D.C.’s Maine Avenue Fish Market, the oldest of its kind. Quirky additions include Chicago’s bronze Shit Fountain, North Carolina’s 60-foot natural waterslide at Sliding Rock, and the thin granite ledge of Potato Chip Rock in California.
