I've been to all 50 states. Here are 6 underrated destinations I can't wait to return to.
After traveling to all 50 states, I've come across some beautiful hidden gems, like Wickford Village in Rhode Island and Charlevoix in Michigan.
After visiting all 50 states, I've identified six lesser-known US travel destinations that I can't wait to return to. One such place is Wickford Village in Rhode Island, a charming harbor village just 30 minutes south of Providence in North Kingstown. I'm particularly drawn to its independent shops and well-maintained landscaping.
Another destination is Charlevoix, Michigan, a picturesque town situated between Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. The drawbridge that regularly raises to let boats pass between the lakes, along with the iconic red lighthouse, adds to its scenic beauty. Fargo, North Dakota, initially seemed like a sleepy prairie town, but I was pleasantly surprised by its walkable downtown anchored by the Fargo Theatre and the community feel of places like Brewhalla, a brewery and food hall.
Columbia, South Carolina, despite being the state capital, often goes unnoticed compared to Charleston or Hilton Head Island. My return to Columbia is fueled by attractions like a great zoo, a variety of restaurants, and parks. Lastly, Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is my favorite small mountain city. The drive to Glenwood Springs via I-70 through the Glenwood Canyon is an experience in itself, and the downtown area is easily explored on foot.
The Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, especially during winter or right after a light snowfall, is a standout feature of the city.
