aka Chaco Culture National Historic Park, in northern New Mexico. Worth getting up before the break of dawn and driving several hours on dirt roads to see what Americans were building from c. 800-1200. The main ruin, Pueblo Bonito, is impressive in itself, but it's even more astounding once you start looking around and see the other clusters of buildings, often built in distinct styles. Truly amazing.

Grand Canyon, in Arizona. When I was there I came across a guy who was so impressed by its grandeur that he had to tell everyone at the overlook just how big it was.
