Over 70 abandoned trolleys, subways and buses have found home in a North Carolina forest. The trains, once filled with people, now sit decaying on winding tracks stretching through the snowy forest, infusing visitors with a certain apocalyptic feel. The trains are from big cities such as New York City and Philadelphia, but have been left to rot in this unusual graveyard.

Nearly five million people see the 1 mile deep Grand Canyon each year. You can reach Grand Canyon National Park from main entrances on the South Rim and the North Rim. The South Rim is the most accessible part of the park and is open all year.
