5The Great Plains
The Great Plains, stretching across states like Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and the Dakotas, are often overlooked for their beauty. However, this vast region offers a different kind of splendor, with its rolling prairies, open skies, and endless horizons. The simplicity and serenity of the plains are a stark contrast to the dramatic landscapes of other regions, but the beauty of the golden fields and gently rolling hills is undeniable.
The Badlands of South Dakota, with their rugged terrain and striking rock formations, add an unexpected element of drama to the plains, while the Sandhills of Nebraska, one of the largest grass-stabilized dune systems in the world, provide a unique landscape of undulating dunes covered in tall grass.
