Carhenge: Nebraska's Mysterious Monument to American Cars
Along a lonely stretch of highway in Alliance, Nebraska sits a mysterious monument to America's rich history of putting the pedal to the metal: Carhenge. We sent our roving photographer, Joel Schat, out to capture the classic roadside wonder on camera.
To learn more about and plan your own visit to Carhenge, including hours and turn by turn directions, head to Roadtrippers:

Explaining the NEBRASKA Sandhills! Road trip on Highway 2
My husband and I are on a 12 day road trip through the United States, and in this video we finally got to see the Nebraska Sandhills! They are a national natural landmark and they're beautiful! In the video I'll tell you all about this fascinating landscape, and I'll explain the effect the Rocky Mountains have on Nebraska's vegetation. We spent the night at Arrow Hotel in Broken Bow. If you're wondering why we suddenly changed our clothes, it's because some shots of this video are from the day after ;) We continued on Highway 2 after spending the night in Broken Bow and the Sandhill shots are taken between Broken Bow and Alliance.

Natural beauty such as beaches, tropical island resorts with coral reefs, hiking and camping in national parks, mountains and forests, are examples of traditional tourist attractions to spend summer vacations. Other examples of cultural tourist attractions include historical places, monuments, ancient temples, zoos, aquaria, museums and art galleries, botanical gardens, buildings and structures (e.g., castles, libraries, former prisons, skyscrapers, bridges), theme parks and carnivals, living history museums, ethnic enclave communities, historic trains and cultural events. Factory tours, industrial heritage, creative art and crafts workshops are the object of cultural niches like industrial tourism and creative tourism. Many tourist attractions are also landmarks.
Tourist attractions are also created to capitalise on legends such as a supposed UFO crash site near Roswell, New Mexico and the alleged Loch Ness monster sightings in Scotland. Ghost sightings also make tourist attractions.
Ethnic communities may become tourist attractions, such as Chinatowns in the United States and the black British neighbourhood of Brixton in London, England.
In the US, owners and marketers of attractions advertise tourist attractions on billboards along the side of highways and roadways, especially in remote areas. Tourist attractions often provide free promotional brochures and flyers in information centres, fast food restaurants, hotel and motel rooms or lobbies, and rest area.
While some tourist attractions provide visitors a memorable experience for a reasonable admission charge or even for free, others can have a tendency to be of low quality and to overprice their goods and services (such as admission, food, and souvenirs) in order to profit from tourists excessively. Such places are commonly known as tourist traps.
Novelty attractions are oddities such as the biggest ball of twine in Cawker City, Kansas, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota, or Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska where old cars serve in the place of stones in a replica of Stonehenge. Novelty attractions are not limited to the American Midwest, but are part of Midwestern culture.
A tourist destination is a city, town, or other area that is dependent to a significant extent on the revenues accruing from tourism, or a country, state, region, city, or town which is marketed or markets itself as a place for tourists to visit. It may contain one or more tourist attractions and possibly some tourist traps. Siem Reap town for example is a popular tourist destination in Cambodia, mainly owed to its proximity to Angkor temples.
A tropical island resorts is an island or the archipelago that also depends of tourism as their source of revenue. The Bahamas in Caribbean archipelago, Bali in Indonesia, Phuket in Thailand, Hawaii, Palawan in the Philippines, and Fiji in the Pacific, and Ibiza in Mediterranean are examples of popular island resorts.
