eviltammyis in my Nov/Dec AAA magazine :)
Article is "5 Hot Spots for 2010" - the five are Macchu Picchu(Cuzco, Peru); Madrid, Spain; Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City; Singapore; and Zion.
Zion National Park:
Recognized as a national treasure since 1909, Zion National Park in the Southwestern corner of Utah covers 229 square miles with the major attraction the 15-mile long Zion Canyon. Climb the occasionally steep trail to Angels Landing for breathtaking views that lay out the half-mile deep canyon below. Rangers help visitors plan horseback rides, mountain climbing trips and other excursions to digest the 150 million years of geologic sedimentation. From bright red to golden yellow and stark white the colorful striations have made this park a perennial favorite.
Can't speak for the overseas sights and haven't been to Toronto, but Montreal and Quebec City were nice though I was only there briefly. Zion was awesome, in both the real and "dude!" senses of the word :)
