In reply to the discussion: What are the most beautiful places you ever visited? [View all]montana_hazeleyes
(3,424 posts)130. I haven't really traveled much
in my life. Went on two cruises along Calif. coast to Mexico, the stops were tourist places. I loved Catalina Island though. My favorite part was being on the ocean itself.
The one place that was absolutely stunningly spiritual to me that I have visited was the Mariposa Grove at Yosemite. You have to go way up high to be where the enormous trees are. We took the trolley up.
I've said this before. When you stand amongst those trees, you feel you are in another world-their world.
I wish everyone could experience this.
