Most Beautiful Part of the United States of America

[firefightn15]

Running the gorge from Tennessee going into North Carolina.

Vermont/New Hampshire

Northern Idaho

Northern California/Oregon

Southwestern Colorado

Man, that was the best part of truck driving, the down side was never having enough time to stop and really enjoy any of it. 8-)

I haven't been too many places, but the mountains of my home state of North Carolina are awesome. I also love Nelson County, Virginia. That is a special place.

Where I'm living

Where I grew up.

You're right, both awesome.

Then you've never been on the north end of the New Jersey Turnpike around the refineries.

But, on the other hand, it doesn't smell as badly as it did thirty or forty years ago.  And what were once landfills with trash blowing all over the place now look like hills in the middle of the marshes, or the Meadowlands.

Of course, that was all the result of man's artistry, not nature's.

From the Canadian boarder to the Gulf of Mexico, from Left coast to the Right!

It's all good

The cascades of washington state, columbia river gorge, great smoky mountains, north alabama, and south florida are my top fav's.

The smell of Newark NJ is enough to make you gag.

I would say the Adirondack park, which is about the size of Vermont, ranks up there with the most beautiful places in the US.

The smell around Brunswick, GA gives Newark a run for its money.  I don't know what concoctions they brew to turn wood into pulp, but it's none too pure.

There aren't many places in Virginia, W. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee or Mid - upper NY that I didn't like.  Love the Ozarks in MO/Ark.  This country is really blessed with much beauty for all tastes.

The view from the top of the continental divide up the hill from Estes Park Co., the drive through the mountains on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the white sand beaches of Fl., the color of the ocean as it turns from green to blue as land disappears in the distance, or the incredible rugged beauty of the Maine coast are all high on my list. If I could only choose one, it would be right where I'm planted. Southern Illinois is a beautiful place to live. Rolling hills, scenic views, dense woods, and some of the prettiest lakes you will ever see.

Like everyone else, I can list a number of places that really tickle my fancy . . . . . the Ozarks, the Appalachian Mountains, where the Caribbean meets the panhandle of Florida, The Black Hills of South Dakota, the Badlands, Yosemite, the Marin Highlands north of San Francisco, the Rockies, etc.  It seems like every state has something unique and beautiful to view. 

Probably the most beautiful site that I have ever witnessed was in Colorado.  In 2005, I was driving West with my family on Highway 24 just a few miles east of Buena Vista.  We came through a pass and were dropping down to the Arkansas River plateau below.  Directly in front of us, the sun was going down behind the Collegiate Peaks just to the west of Buena Vista and clouds were trying to roll in over the top of some of the peaks which are all over 14,000 feet.  The full height of the peaks could be seen with the flatland between us and the mountains.  The colors created with the clouds and the sun going down were indescribably magnificent.  Words are completely inadequate to describe such scenery.
