Nature's wonder reveals itself in many different shapes and sizes, from mountain peaks penetrating the clouds to tiny rainbow-colored fish weaving between coral reefs. Although the natural world surrounds us, it often takes a back seat to sprawling steel buildings and concrete highways. Fortunately, there are still some places where we can leave our material concerns behind and marvel at life forces and forms beyond our construction and control. These experiences may bring you closer to that sense of the "bigger picture" you always heard about but never quite knew where to find.
Note: Although a vacation to the destinations mentioned here should include plenty of camping, hiking and other activities that get you close to Mother Nature, most offer the option of more civilized lodging, ranging from hostels to four-star hotels, and motorized modes of transportation.
