Last week I read an article regarding the global competition to name the "New 7 Wonders of Nature." The competition is coordinated by a Swiss nonprofit of the same name and is expected to draw over a billion voters via the internet (the wonder of technology!).
The nonprofit has received 441 nominations since 2007, including such natural wonders as Niagra Falls, the Great Barrier Reef, Mount Everest, Loch Ness, Zuma Rock, and the Matterhorn. The list was narrowed to 222 sites covering the globe.
Here's a link to the full article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090106/ap_on_sc/eu7_natural_wonders
That said, what is your "natural wonder of the world"? It could be something as simple as the woods behind your own backyard.
So Leave No Trace community...what is your vote?

The natural wonders are really natural and really wonderful. I think I may wanna visit them myself.
One of my favorite places, close to home is Lassen Volcanic National Park in Shasta County, California.
It is a super place to visit for many reasons. Camping, hiking and bird watching are my favorites. It's simply a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature.
