5. Yosemite

Yosemite National Park is located in California's Sierra Nevada. It's most famous for its iconic granite cliff valley. But if you wander further afield, you'll find cluster of ancient sequoia trees.

4. Mount Rainier

This national park covers 369.3 square miles of Washington state. The centerpiece is obviously the volcanic Mount Rainier. But there are also dozens of glacier fields covering its slopes, as well as meadows, and ancient forests. Definitely worthy of being called one of America's most beautiful national parks.

3. Wrangell-St. Elias

This Alaskan national park is the largest in the United States. It covers a vast expanse of the Alaskan wilderness. And we're talking true wilderness here; parts of the park are only accessible by plane. If you do make the trek, however, you'll see amazing glacier fields.

2. Kenai Fjords

This is another Alaskan treasure. As the name suggests, Kenai Fjords is also famous for glaciers. Although, in this case, its not just the glaciers but what they've carved out -- fjords. Kenai is more accessible than Wrangell-St. Elias, but it's far from the busiest national park.

1. Grand Teton

Grand Teton is only ten miles from Yellowstone -- the most famous national park -- but it's in a world of its own. On top of stunning meadows and mountain ranges, it also includes the unforgettable Jackson Hole.

American $2 bills are still legal tender, but if yours has the right serial number, it's worth thousands of dollars instead of two.

The $2 bill has always been weird. Nobody uses them. Banks barely stock them. Yet certain ones command jaw-dropping prices among collectors. Serial number patterns can make all the difference.

When Stores Prefer You Tap Over Swiping, It’s To Protect Themselves

It happens almost everywhere now. Before you even reach for the card reader, they’re already suggesting tap. It sounds like a small convenience—but it isn’t random. Behind that tiny wave symbol is a quiet shift in how stores manage risk, speed, and money. And most customers have no idea it’s happening.
