Besides its more well-known locations, the United States is home to stunning sites that offer an escape from the masses.
A recent Quora thread discussed unique places in the United States that aren't frequently visited by tourists.
From the picturesque False Kiva in Utah's Canyonlands National Park, whose exact destination remains a secret, to the crystal-blue Havasupai Falls in Grand Canyon National Park, here are 12 US destinations that you can explore without a massive crowd.
False Kiva is a human-made stone circle located in a remote area of Canyonlands National Park in Utah. It has become popular among photographers thanks to its unique frame that captures clear skies and dramatic thunderstorms of the area, but debates range on whether or not to disclose its exact location (which does not appear on official maps).

Alvord Desert, located in Harney County in southeastern Oregon, is a dry lake bed offering views of the majestic Steens Mountain and wilderness hiking trails. While parts of the area are privately owned, areas operated by the Bureau of Land Management are open for camping and explore the scenery as long as you come prepared with water, food, and equipment.

The Havasupai Falls, located in the Havasupai Reservation of Coconino County at the southwest corner of the Grand Canyon National Park, are known for their clear blue waterfalls adorned with travertine columns. Hidden amidst the popular Grand Canyon, the Havasupai Falls are not as nearly as crowded as the park considering the eight mile hiking trail you’ll need to take to Supai Village.
