Casa Grande Ruins
In 1892, the Casa Grande Ruins became the first archaelogcal site in the USA to be protected as a National Monument.  The monument contains an imposing 4 story building known as "The Big House" dating from the late Hohokam period, probably the 14th century.

The Grand Canyon
The canyon is probably the most famous natural attraction in the USA and possibly the world.
You won't forget your first sight and it always impresses!
