The United States / USA is not the America of television and movies. It is large, complex, and diverse, with distinct cultural and regional identities.
One of the world’s greatest cities, New York (known as “The Big Apple”, “NYC,” and often called “New York City”) is a global center for media, entertainment, art, fashion, research, finance, and trade. The city’s neighbourhood and streets are so iconic they have become ingrained into the American consciousness.

National Historic Landmark (wiki) – are historic properties that illustrate the heritage of the United States. The almost 2,600 NHLs found in the USA today come in many forms: historic buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts. Each NHL represents an outstanding aspect of American history and culture.
⇒ National Park Service
America’s low population density compared to Europe, large number of National Parks, and rugged country in the West and the Appalachians are major factors that have formed America’s hiking opportunities that exist today. Particularly in mountainous regions, protected areas (such as National Parks) are often geared more to hikers than anyone else. *List of areas in the United States National Park System (wiki), *United States National Park System (wikivoyage)
Essentially all of the United States National Parks have hiking opportunities. These will vary depending on the park. Trails will usually be shown on park maps. America’s National Trails System (*Hiking in the United States)

Intercity bus travel is widespread, but not available everywhere. Service between nearby major cities is frequent, and often connects many smaller towns with regional cities. Coast-to-coast
