Lately, I've been amusing myself with Google Earth and similar programs.  One of the things I've espcially enjoyed is "visiting" pilgrimage sites.  While I was looking at Mecca, Jerusalem, Haifa, and Rome, it occured to me that (being pagan) I should look at some pagan pilgrimate sites.  Naturally, I looked up Glastonbury, Ise, Tara, and Stonehenge, but then I was sort of at a loss. 

I'd like to ask other pagans:  What's your favorite pilgrimage site, and why?  It can be a place you've been (local, in the US, would be wonderful to know about) or it can be a place you'd love to go if only you had the time and the money.  Thanks for your input.

There's an eternal flame in my area, which I've hiked to a few times. I'm hoping to make a it a real pilgrimmage (with ritual) sometime this summer.

Pretty!  Where is it?

Ridge Chestnut Park in Orchard Park, NY.

The eternal flame under the waterfall is stunning.  If I'm ever in that part of NY, I'd love to go.  Yes, I know about Newgrange, academically, but I've never been.  Well, my favorite local pilgrimage site is Pilot Mountain, here in NC near the VA border.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_Mountain_(North_Carolina)
