Dry Tortugas, Florida

The Spanish explorer Ponce de León gave the Dry Tortugas their name back during his first visit in 1513. They were originally given the name Las Tortugas (The Turtles) because of the 170 sea turtles taken on the islands and shoals by de León’s men. Not long after, the word “Dry” was added on, to indicate to mariners that the islands’ lacked springs. You can go snorkeling with marine life in a 100-mile water park among seven other small islands. While it is only accessible by boat or plane, it is well worth the trip just to see the crystal blue water, coral reefs, and numerous wildlife critters.

Fly Geyser, Nevada

This awesome site is actually a man-made small geothermal geyser (a spring). Water is constantly sprayed upwards of five feet, which then sprays into 30 separate pools across 74 acres. Whoa. And thanks to a series of minerals and thermophilic algae, the Geyser has the most glorious color display – as you can see below. We’re not joking, this really is not photo-shopped.
