Mystical Angels - Not sure if I asked this before, where in the United States that you have been?

Not sure if I asked this before, where in the United States that you have been?

While on vacation or visiting friends do you consider a mystical place? Or have heard it described as a mystical place and actually was?

Salem, Massachusetts comes to mind because of the witch trials in the 1600's. I have not been there, but would like to someday.
I've on the top of Pikes Peak, CO and the cold & lack of oxygen made me feel like I was on the moon. two days later when I recovered I climbed a much, much, much lesser mountain and sat there until the sun was about to go down .... that was an experience also.
I don't know about "mystic," but I was most awe-filled when I visited the Mt. Rushmore....pictures cannot, in any way, show just how big this thing is! IT is the most amazing creation you can imagine....I have seen pictures of this thing all my life, but being there is a completely different experience. 2nd on the list is Yellowstone Park...amazing place that, again, pictures cannot convey the feelings of the place. The Grand Canyon is truly grand, and I was in awe of the size of the thing...but not as much so as Mt. Rushmore. I have only one thing I want to visit in this lifetime left, and that is Egypt...if Mt. Rushmore can stir what it did, I can only imagine what the Pyramids would do. Phil
I did a canoe trip a couple of years ago down the Colorado River and to me, it was mystical. We set in at the base of Hoover Dam and meandered down the river Nevada on one side of the river and Arizona on the other. We stopped and splashed in the hot springs and saw dall sheep up on the rocks and swam in the river. We camped one night on the shore and listened to the sounds of silence and the slowly moving river. I plan to do that again, soon. Maybe even take a friend with me. ;+)
I live in Australia. My family came from a place on the edge of the desert. There are old deserted farm houses, and dilapidated tool sheds, some with the old machinery still there. The camel drivers used to cart salt from the lakes, the old salt piles are still there slowly , oh so slowly disintegrating. A lot these places seem mystical in the quiet of today's environment when so many fewer people and processes are needed to produce the crops and you can imagine you can hear the noise of a past era. But the most mystical place is the cemetery in that little town. Here I know all the names, I remember many of the people who I had such fun with as a visiting city child fifty years ago chasing kangaroos and emus. Often about my life in the bustling city a familiar name comes up unexpectedly and sure enough there is this link. The spirits of these past people left this legacy of life for us. My uncle who still lives in this little town says that wherever you go in the world there is always someone there who knows you because they too have links there.
Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. We took the short hike to see it, and as we came around the corner, there it was in the middle of a sandstone bowl. Absolutely breathtaking.
Florida, Chicago, Nashville, Memphis, Naples Beach, Miami. I loved them ALL.Love Jo xx
TRAVELING ACROSS COUNTRY WAS AWE STRUCK BY THE DIFFERENT COLORS OF THE COLORADO AND UTAH AREAS. VAST DESOLATE LANDS
I have a daughter living in Ohio, (we live in England) and we visit once a year to catch up with her and my wonderful little grand children. She lives just outside of Fostoria, and its very very wide open farming area, its so peaceful, and spacious, and that couple of weeks are mystical to me!!! PURE MAGIC I love it there.
I've seen a lot of the western states but Zion National Park is a beautiful, mystical place for me. It beats out the Grand Canyon and other wonderful places with it's subtle and serene beauty.
I'VE BEEN FROM COAST TO COAST AND BORDER TO BORDER AND SEEN A LOT OF THE USA BUT THERE IS MORE I'D LIKE TO SEE.
as a kid, Silver Springs, Cypress Gardens, with the glass bottom boats. You could see 30 feet or so...As an adult..absolutely nothing ! Now it would be 'mystical' to have an IRS audit that cost nothing !
When i was a kid we lived in Idaho for a while. I used to climb the mountains (smaller than in Colorado). I thought that was pretty amazing, looking down at the town like that.
Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Hovenweep, Mesa Verde, the Superstitions, the North face of the Sawtooths, the Grand Tetons, City of Rocks, Enchanted Rock.
Mystical places: Morro Bay and Ragged Rock, California
Grand Canyon was awesome (don't know if that rates as mystical).. Been to a couple of indian burial grounds in Michigan, A ghost town in Alaska, Thoroughgood House (oldest home in the US, some of the Civil war battlesites seemed a tad eerie -- and I thought the Luray caverns were kinda mystical.
There are a couple of places where the earth energy and spirit energy of places have been very strong. One place was in the Appalachians near Gatlinburg, just off the Appalachian trail. There was so much energy in the Grandfather mountain that when I touched the rock, I actually got a physical shock. Very cool. The other place was at the Effigy Mounds National Monument near Marquette, Iowa. There is so much spiritual energy there that it literally raised the hair on my skin, but it is very calm and peaceful there. I could almost feel the spirits of the Mound people walking beside me when I walked the outline of the Great Bear mound. It was almost overwhelming to feel. I hope to go back there again someday.
Sedona, Arizona. I heard it was mystical and I felt an energy there that I never felt before. It was strong, too. Sedona is a beautiful place. Lots of American Indian history there.
Probably when I went to see a cousin in Grand Junction, Colorado and we drove into the mountains around Ouray. It was stunning and even mystical.
Where I am one with nature is a mystical place to me, whether it's at the ocean, in the mountains, or at the desert. I particularly like Mt. Shasta, Monument Valley in Arizona, the Grand Canyon, any large river. My back yard in the evening just before sunset is a mystical place. I love sitting there with a cup of hot tea, or a glass of red wine depending on my mood, and just watch the changes in the sky, and hopefully a brave bird (the kind with wings) who is still in the area will stop by and keep me company for a bit.
I've been to Mt. Saint Helens twice and am so amazed at the transformation since the eruption. There are plants growing there that had not been there before the eruption. Seems birds are eating things from elsewhere, fly there and poop out the seeds. The only animals to survive were these little burrowing animals...can't remember their names...and because they burrowed, it aerated the ground to help the seeds grow.
I loved Mount Rushmore. I loved the Blackhills. Absolutely beautiful.. White Sands is awesome. I attended an Easter Sunrise Service at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. That was mystical.. I would love to see everything. The Sandias here in NM at sunrise or sunset are absolutely breathtaking. I have lived on both sides of them.
Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park in Utah are two of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places in the good old USA.
I havn't been to the States yet, but I plan to visit a penpal I have been writing to since 1972. He lives in Hurricane Utah, anyone know what it's like there? I plan to go in September this year.
