United States of America

What is the American Dream? Maxing out credit cards in Manhattan? Breaking the bank in Las Vegas? Maybe it is just witnessing incredible natural spectacles like catching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon, seeing Yosemite's Sequoias in the snow, or setting a watch to Yellowstone's Old Faithful geyser?
