Pike Island Minnesota
USA

"The Mdewakanton Dakota once considered the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers to be the sacred center of the world. You will understand why once you have sat quietly on the small beach at the tip of Pike Island, at the very point where the two mighty rivers meet. It can seem a palpably spiritual place, made all the more beautiful by the journey to get there, an easy mile-and-a-half stroll through the lush woods of Fort Snelling State Park, shaded by cottonwood, elm, and silver maple. Along the way, there's a good chance you will spot deer through the trailside leaves, and you will think the experience no less profound for the occasional roar of an Airbus landing at nearby MSP International. That nearness to civilization is one of the remarkable things about Fort Snelling, and one reason why it is usually the most visited state park in Minnesota. Yet even on weekends, you will probably only see a handful of other seekers on the Pike Island trail. A trip to the park will cost you $5, but that seems a small price to pay for a visit to the center of the world."

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
