What ever your country has to offer. I have camped in Algonquin Provincial Park also.

can i introduce Animals into the equation

for New Zealand
apart from the beautiful scenic sites that every country has

the Tuatara & Kiwi, living National Animal Treasures on the extinction list.
are more than worth a mention ..
i thought a common ole skink was just that, a common ole skink, till i read up about its relative rarity

It depends what you define as a National Treasure...

Sometimes I use World Heritage Listing as a focus for vacations. In Japan (which is chock-o-block with shrines, temples, and gardens), I visited eleven World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. It was like my own Amazing Race...using trains, subways, and buses to get from site to site.

In the USA, we have National Historic Landmark designation...which includes Independence Hall/Old Pennsylvania State House and The Alamo...as examples. I've been to lots ond lots of those sites. We also have National Parks (such as Great Smokey Mountains and Yellowstone). Also a great measure of "National Treasure-worthiness", and I've visited many.

I enjoy getting out and about to visit different places. Next month I will visit the Alamo and other missions in Texas as well as Taliesin in Wisconsin. I'm a blatant travel-whore.
