10 Unique U.S. National Parks That Will Make You Feel Like You're on Another Planet (Video)

"From some angles, you’d swear you’re in the middle of the Sahara while walking through Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. But if you simply find a place with a good view, you can spot a beautiful Rocky Mountain vista. Occasionally, the nearby Modano Creek will overflow and create a sort of natural “water slide” that makes this usually dry area extra fun." - Travel + Leisure Editors
