Defined as being “a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road,” bridges are some of the most magnificent of structures, which – lucky for us South Dakotans – are scattered all over the state! If you have an interest in history, photography, or just crossing pretty bridges, stay tuned, as you are going to love these these 5 South Dakota fairytale foot bridges:...

When it comes to highly-praised tourist attractions, the southern region of our state gets most of the attention. However, there is just as much to explore in the northern section. These destinations prove it! There are way more places to check out in Northern Nevada than listed here, but this is a pretty good start. Explore a side of the Silver State that a lot of people aren’t even aware exists....

Several types of places are located throughout Alabama, including many that outsiders consider to be odd. Even though outsiders consider many places to be odd, we like to think of them as unique. Listed below are nine of the oddest places you can possibly visit in Alabama. Which of them have you already been to?

Many people in Arizona, particularly newcomers to the Grand Canyon State, don’t know about the experimental city that’s located in Central Arizona, not far from Interstate 17. And while it’s impossible to miss the I-17 exit whose road bears the name of the experimental community, it’s easy to know nothing about what lies just a few miles down Arcosanti Road, located an hour north of Phoenix. There is an entire community built around the concept of “archology....

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then you better make sure it’s a good one. If there’s one universal breakfast food that we can all agree is downright delicious, it would probably be a donut (well, and bacon, but we haven’t found a little bacon shop in Kentucky…yet). Donut shops are wonderful places to gather in the morning or zip through the drive thru for a sweet meal....

Fall will be here in just a few days, so let the baking begin! Nothing signifies the end of summer quite like the heartwarming smell of an apple pie fresh out of the oven. We can all agree that, even if the filling is made from scratch, grocery store fruit isn’t nearly as sweet or fresh as when you pick it straight off the tree. At Love Creek Orchards in Medina, you can sample their scrumptious apple treats that have been made with love for decades and even bring home a stash of your own pickings to bake with....

One of the best things about Montana summer is also one of the worst things about Montana summers: Our beautiful lakes, rivers, water parks, and swimming holes become cool oases for locals and tourists alike. But if you prefer natural waters to public pools and you’d rather not deal with seasonal crowds, just head to Echo Lake near Bigfork. While it’s far from unknown, if you go during the week, you’ll probably have stretches of it to yourself....

New Jersey has the best pizza, panzarotti, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches (pork roll/taylor ham with egg and cheese on a hard roll) in the country. Of this, I am certain. I am also very biased but I do think that many of us would agree that they’re great. However, few cause the frenzy that hamburgers at White Manna do. A little local joint, they have a fan following that spans the state and they’ve even gotten significant national attention....
