National Kissing Day (June 22): According to the lyrics of “As Time Goes By” a kiss is just a kiss, right? Well, find out on National Kissing Day by planting one your significant other at these great spost to kiss. According to mapquest.com, Cape May, New Jersey is noted because of the “horse-drawn carriage ride through the gaslit streets of the old Victorian town.” Book a cozy glamping cottage at nearby Thousand Trails Lake & Shore and get ready to pucker up! Where better to plant one on your favorite human than on a “kissing bridge” which is what old-timely covered bridges became known as since they provided privacy. Head to Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County to discover a whole lot of “kissing bridges” and plan a stay at Thousand Trails Circle M with its great yurts and cottages for a cozy glamping getaway. Visit discoverlancaster.com for a map of the bridge locations.

If you’re visiting Sedona, Arizona, Red Rock State Park provides some of the most breathtaking scenery you may ever see.

Any way you slice it, Yosemite National Park is one of the most scenic spots on Earth. To get a spectacular view of the Park’s highlights, including Half Dome and Yosemite Falls, take in the scenery from Glacier Point.

Yosemite Lakes provides a perfect base camp while visiting the Yosemite Valley and the National Park.

Thunder Hole, in Acadia National Park, is named due to the thundering sound that occurs when the waves of the Atlantic roll into the cavern on this inlet at Acadia. The water can splash as high as 40 feet! Thunder Hole also offers fabulous views of Otter Cliff and the Great Head from the safety of an observation deck.

Narrows Too in Trenton is a great place to stay for a visit to Acadia, as well as the charming town of Bar Harbor.

In addition to the views, there is also the Seacoast Science Center and the remains of Fort Dearborn, established during World War II to help protect the Portsmouth Harbor.

One of the most scenic spots in Lancaster County is Tucquan Glen Nature Preserve. Lake and river views, as well as streams, creeks, and waterfalls are just a few of the scenic details here.  The rugged terrain of the woodlands provides possible glimpses of the preserve’s wildlife inhabitants, including coyotes, fox, and deer. Several well-marked trails lead the way as you explore the amazing scenery here.

Kerry Park, in Seattle, is the perfect spot to grab a panoramic view of the Emerald City. If you’ve seen such a shot in a magazine or movie, it was most likely taken from Kerry Park. There are so many pluses to visiting this location. Not only is the view of the city skyline spectacular, two bonus views include Mt. Rainier and Elliot Bay. Also, the charming neighborhood of Queen Anne provides views of 19th century homes in Upper Queen Anne, and another one of Seattle’s best locations for amazing views, the Space Needle, in Lower Queen Anne.

Seattle is a perfect day trip when you stay at Leavenworth Tiny House Village or a quick trip from Tall Chief, in Fall City.
