Traveling around the United States, there are destinations are so popular that they get crowded, take a long time to get through and aren't as appealing as they once were.

Think of cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami or New Orleans. They are all very historical, have many entertainment options and plenty of choices for restaurants. The problem, they're crowded.

When you're looking for quite places that have lots to do, fun, historical and are great spots to visit, you may want to choose a smaller, off-the-beaten path, destination.

Trips To Discover is an online tool to help you find new travel destinations. They put together lists and locations that will give you information to help you choose where you'd like to go.

Top 15 vacation spots

I'm not surprised that Trips To Discover chose Wyoming as one of those off-the-beaten path places, I'm just surprised that there was only one destination on the list on Wyoming. I get that they have to share the destination spotlight to give more options, but I may be a little biased.

Buffalo, Wyoming was chosen as one of the Top 15 Off-The-Beaten Path destinations that is a no brainer of a place to visit.
