The 20 Most Incredible Waterfalls In The USA

It's hard to believe that water falling off a cliff and down some rocks could be described as "gorgeous," but the beauty of waterfalls proves that it's not such a crazy concept at all. Waterfalls have the ability to take an ordinary view and turn it into something truly extraordinary. They've become a staple for scenes depicting any kind of oasis or paradise, and when you get the chance to see one up close, it's easy to see why. But where can you find some of these marvels of nature? They might be closer than you think!

If you've traveled around the world, you've likely seen a few incredible waterfalls in your time. This unique restaurant in the Philippines actually lets you dine right in the spillway of a rush of cascading water! But of course, not everyone has the time or money to travel so far just to see one of these natural wonders.

The good news is that there are plenty of these nature-made masterpieces right here in the United States! Sure, they might not be home to a bunch of playful sea lion pups like this one in New Zealand, but they're still sights that you'll never forget.

If you're in need of some quality time with Mother Nature, check out these beautiful waterfalls that can be found right here in the USA. You won't need to travel very far at all if you live in the west, but even if you live on the other side of the country, it will be worth the road trip to see some of these wondrous works of art.

Make sure you SHARE these waterfalls with all your friends who have chronic wanderlust!
