Love is in the air this February and with Valentine’s Day coming up soon, now is the time to you’re your love reach new heights and go on an adventure with the one you love. We take a look at the most romantic states to visit in the USA – as the Conexus saying goes ‘those who adventure together, stay together’
ARIZONA
If you are looking to get away from it all, the breath-taking landscape of Arizona in Southwest America is not a bad place to start your romantic adventure. Home of the Grand Canyon, Arizona is surrounded by deserts, canyons and open skies.
The sunny state, which was voted 4th in the US states for the best weather, has plenty of adventures waiting for you and your loved one. For something special, why not visit the jaw-dropping waterfalls of Havasu Creek and swim in the creek’s naturally turquoise water for a memorable photo op, or for something extra romantic watch the spectacular sunset at Lipan Point.
KENTUCKY
The picturesque state of Kentucky has something for every couple to enjoy! Whether you are looking for some rural charm or the bright lights of a city, the home of the legendary bluegrass is a must for couples looking for spontaneity. If you are looking for outdoor thrills in the wilderness, rekindle the flame in the Kentucky countryside and enjoy a hand-in-hand hike or a horseback ride.
If hiking isn’t your thing, you could always take a long, gorgeous drive through the Appalachian Mountains and take in the beauty of the tree-lined roads (a must during fall!) For those looking for fun, soak in the lively atmosphere together at the world famous annual Kentucky Derby Horse Race! And if Arts and Culture are you thing, visit one of the more cosmopolitan cities, like Lexington, and indulge in some traditional southern BBQ.
NORTH CAROLINA
North Carolina is the perfect backdrop for romance all year round with endless options for couples looking for a romantic adventure, from visiting the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains to the more urban landscape of Charlotte.
Why not take advantage of the many picturesque beaches North Carolina has to offer. Take a stroll along the shores out the Outer Banks, watch the sunset or why not visit Cape Lookout, one of North Carolina’s Lighthouse and look out on the horizon together. The state of North Carolina is sure to offer you and your loved one a lifetime of lasting memories.
WYOMING
Wyoming is the perfect backdrop for a romantic adventure if you want to get back to nature. The state offers some of the best hiking trails and stunning mountain views.
For those couples that are looking for adrenaline-fueled activities in their down-time, Wyoming’s Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, rated as one of the best ski resort in North America, will be sure to sweep you off your feet. For those looking for something a bit cozier heat things up by visiting one of Wyoming’s striking hot springs.
NEVADA
There’s much more to Nevada beyond the glitz of Las Vegas, and while The Strip is a magical site to see, the Silver State is home to some of the most remarkable landscapes the USA has to offer.
Get out of the city and get lost in the rugged backdrop of Nevada by taking a scenic road trip through the Valley of Fire State Park, Wheeler Peak or the Lamoille Canyon. By night, Nevada has some of the nation’s darkest skies so make sure to look up! Take advantage of this rare, and magical opportunity, by packing a picnic and going star-gazing together in Tonopah – a desert location between Reno and Las Vegas.
Nothing brings couples closer together than traveling to new destinations and sharing new experiences together. If the thought of a new adventure in the USA with the one you love gives you butterflies, take a look at other aspects of living and working in the US as an RN.
