The vast expanse of the United States of America has a huge variety of geographical landscapes - the Florida Keys jutting out into the Gulf of Mexico towards the Caribbean islands, lonely roads running through miles of arid Nevada desert, the Great Lakes bordering Canada known as the "North Coast", the immense open skies of Montana, and the volcanic islands that make up Hawaii.
The traditions associated with each of the different states are equally diverse. New England saw the birth of the nation and holds numerous colonial buildings and quaint coastal towns throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and Vermont. The Spanish influence from colonization through the 18th Century is evident in the names of many cities in southern California - most notably Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Native American in others - Yosemite National Park and the famous Napa Valley wine-growing region south of the San Francisco Bay area. The natural landscapes and snow-capped mountains surrounding the historical town of Aspen in Colorado are in stark contrast to its rising popularity as an upscale shopping area and playground for the rich and famous.
