Exploring the beauty of Utah
Known for its incredible natural landscapes and almost limitless opportunity for outdoor adventures, the Mountain West state of Utah is famously home to the "Mighty Five" national parks: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion. Filled with jaw-dropping rock formations, these parks are prime examples of the artistic power of nature, and call for lengthy visits to soak up the splendor. The semi-arid climate makes for spectacular seasonal changes, from the wild flowers of spring to the baking summers, glorious fall colors, and ski-friendly winters. With lively urban bases such as Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah really does offer something for almost every type of visitor. Thinking of planning a visit?

Countries with more than one capital city
The world has experienced plenty of wars, revolutions, and fallen empires, which changed borders and presented new capitals. In 1900, only around 40 nations had capital cities. By 2000, the number grew to more than 200, largely a result of new countries emerging after the collapse of the British and French empires, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia. Most nations chose one city as their official capital, but there are some with two or more, where they split administrative, legislative, and judicial headquarters, for instance. Curious?

13 Amusement Parks in the U.S. That Are Completely Free to Enter
A few even charge you nothing for parking and entertainment. Amusement parks are synonymous with so many wonderful things: fun in the sun, rollercoasters and carousels, games galore and delicious food. And all in a colorful, jubilant, family-friendly setting. The only issue? Joy like that does not typically come cheap. Or can it? Well, at these 13 amusement parks across the U.S., from the Golden to the Garden States, you can save on one very important front: entry. While the vast majority of amusement parks — including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Busch Gardens — require tickets just to walk through the gates, these resorts and parks do not. Of course, if you want to ride the rides or snack on the snacks, you'll still have to open your wallet. (A good thing can only go so far!) But if you're someone who's more about the vibes than the rides, this is the list for you. Make sure you scroll to the bottom: There's one very famous park that's about to go "open gate" with its water parks for guests staying on property. (Hint: It's home to a special mouse!)
