America is home to some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet, awe-inspiring locations so beautiful that they draw in countless visitors every year and make other adventurous travelers' picks for bucket list destinations to visit at lease once.

LoveExploring searched every corner of the country, "from sprawling canyons and towering sand dunes to huge glaciers and picturesque valleys" to compile a list of the "most stunning natural wonders" America has to offer. These are the kinds of gorgeous locations and monuments that promise breathtaking scenery that will leave you speechless and in awe, creating a lasting memory to cherish the rest of your life.

Among the list of natural wonders are three spots in Arizona: the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon. Here's what the site had to say about these incredible wonders:

"One of the top destinations in the country, it's easy to see why Grand Canyon enjoys such popularity, attracting around five million visitors every year. Opening up into an 18-mile wide gorge through which the Colorado River carves its way, the park's red rust landscape is incredibly atmospheric."

"The utterly epic Monument Valley and its towering sandstone buttes rising up from the barren red-sand desert is an incredible sight to behold. Monument Valley is located on the Utah/Arizona state border and its tallest butte towers 1,000 feet above the valley floor."

"These ethereal slot canyons – divided into two sections known as The Crack and The Corkscrew – can only be explored on a guided tour with a native Navajo guide. It's thought that [Antelope Canyon] was formed by flash flooding during monsoon season which explains the smooth, flowing shapes of the walls."
