Negril
Negril is a town in western Jamaica known for its miles of white sand beaches and cliffs. It is certainly one of the more laid back towns on the island yet still attracts a lot of tourists. The hotels are as close to the water as you can get, and the sand gets whiter and whiter the further away from populated areas you get. The water is unbelievably clear and warm in Negril!
Sequoia National Park
Located in the southern part of California's Sierra Nevada mountain range, Sequoia National Park is best known for its giant sequoia trees, most notably the General Sherman tree which stands as the largest tree in the world. The park is also noted for features like the Crystal Cave, Moro Rock, and Tunnel Tree.
