Beesley, "Grand Canyon" at the beginning is actually Mt. Rushmore in S. Dakota's Black Hills. Isle Royale, although it's spelled the French way (roy-AL), it's been Anglicized to royal. I know from hearing a Park ranger say it when I visited several years ago. The amazing thing about CO Springs' Garden of the Gods is that it's not a national park, but merely a city park. CA has some pretty amazing diversity as well. A few years ago, there was an episode of a program called Rock the Park, where the 2 hosts surfed in the morning, then drove up into the mtns. nearby, and skied in the aft. and evening. In Montana, starting at 16:10 is Glacier N.P.'s Going to the Sun Rd., which is, as you can imagine from our perspective, jaw dropping. Wrangell-St. Elias N.P. in Alaska is not only #1 in size in the US, but #3 in the world, and slightly larger than Bosnia. Also, totally unrelated--the aforementioned Aleutian (uh-LOU-shun) Island chain has Attu (at-TWO) at the far end, sitting 468 mi./753km. west of 180 degrees West, at 172 degrees East, thus making it necessary to put a zigzag in the Int'l. Date Line so the entire USA would be in the same day; 8388 mi./13,496km. east is W. Quoddy Pt., ME-the easternmost point in the USA.

And I love Yosemite in Calif. and the Redwoods Natl Park. Come and visit. Lots to see and I’d recommend renting a car and driving - you’ll see a lot that way.

[@emmef7970]

Definitely depends where you live in CA. As the third largest state in the country there are many small towns & cities across the state. I have been up and down the state many times on road trips and stayed in many of them. Lovely towns that I dream about moving to because they are small & quaint and everyone is moving so much slower. Ultimately, I always end up back in San Diego in my house a block from the beach, feeling so lucky to live in a city that has so much to offer & so many things to do & see. And that has such great restaurants! I wouldn't change it for the world! But then again, I have always had a fascination with Key West, FL. Have never been but it seems like such a cool place. But, I don't know if I could do Florida because of the humidity and they have giant bugs, crocodiles or alligators or both! Don't know if I'm brave enough for Florida. lol.

My favorite thing about my country is the sheer beauty to be found in just about every state in the nation. I've done multiple cross-country road trips, and there are very few states I couldn't find something to enjoy about. I grew up in NYC, now live in LA, have also lived in several other states and Mexico. That said, my top three picks are: 3) Pennsylvania - nature is so incredibly lush in this state. It's got some of my favorite waterfalls (Ricketts Glen St Park & Seven Tubs St Park), Boulder Field which is like an alien landscape, the PA Grand Canyon, the coolest creepy town I know of (Centralia, where the ground has been on fire forever and still is; this is the real place Silent Hill is based on), and some of our best architecture. 2) New Orleans is my favorite US city by far, but I put it in second place as a choice of where to live because of Katrina and the fact that the city was built below sea level and is therefore in constant danger of further catastrophe. That said, it's the only actual city I could see myself choosing to live in. The culture is completely unique, and to me it's a great statement of unity within diversity to see how these cultures have blended to create some of the most amazing cuisine, music, and art anywhere. The bayous around it are an adventure in themselves, but I love New Orleans for its haunted tours, above-ground cemeteries, lush tropical plant life, gorgeous old French-inspired architecture, and the way they as a community thoroughly support local artists of every kind. 1) Small towns in the San Fran Bay Area (not SF itself). By far the most incredibly gorgeous, refreshing place I've ever lived. I had 6 redwood giants in my back yard, the unspoiled beautiful coastline was just 6 miles away, and SF itself was well under an hour's drive away, one of the most beautiful and enjoyable cities I've ever seen. The whole place is enchanted. Even Alcatraz Island is so stunningly beautiful in ruins that I fell in love with its contrasts completely. I had to move south, unfortunately for me, but my goal is to get back up to my redwoods ASAP.

[@leeswhimsy]

A tough list....there's just so much to see here. I have been to Michigan -- Michilimackinac, right at the tip of the lower state, and to the upper peninsula....it's absolutely gorgeous. My sis and her husband were involved in the archaeology being done at Michilimackinac and on Mackinac Island, so we got a good "locals" tour. And I've also traveled out west (based from Denver)....Utah is truly magnificent, I was actually surprised. The western Rocky Mtns. are so much younger than the eastern Appalachian Range, and so they are less worn down and more dramatic (but I love both). I feel like the Appalachians are more "cozy" and give you that feeling of "being home" and the Rockies are just awe-inspiring with their dramatic views. Too many beautiful spots to visit in a lifetime here in the US.

Yeah, I saw the stats once, of how many people wander off and die in the National Parks (& some of the larger State Parks, like the Adirondacks of New York State) ... I was amazed! But it can happen anywhere that Nature is un-trammeled. Example: I was travelling through the eastern-most part of Idaho, and discovered a huge area of sand-dunes; I'd never heard about sand-dunes in Idaho! So I pulled off the road (a State route) about 50-60 feet - fortunately I had an AWD SUV, because once I got about 20-25 feet off the road, it got rough real quick. I got out and decided to walk out into the dunes for a bit, it was a hot & sunny day but I had a good hat to protect my head; I wandered here and there, just looking at random stuff, because even the rocks and sticks somehow seemed different. Then I stopped and looked around and realized _I couldn't see anything but rolling sand-dunes, some rocks, and distant mountains_ ... *all the way around, for 360°!* Neither vehicle nor road was visible! I got a little nervous, but remembered my Boy Scout training; I thought back to when I walked away from the road - where was the Sun? And knew I'd be headed back towards the road if it was 180° from where it was when I started. That got me settled down, so I wandered some more. At the top of the tallest dune I could find, I looked around and realized I could (just barely!) see the road and vehicle off in the distance, in the direction I'd figured. Definitely reassuring! I headed back, but quickly decided not to try going back in a straight line, up and down the dunes ... walking up and down sand-dunes is *really* hard on the ankles and calves! By the time I got back to the vehicle, I felt like I'd been on a 3-hour hike ... but my watch said it had barely been an hour! I guzzled some water and sports-drink and had a couple granola bars, and thought about it - if I hadn't known what to do to get my bearings back, and just picked a random direction to walk in, trying to get back ... things could have turned out *very* badly, seeing as how that road had hardly any traffic on it *at all!* Lesson: If you're not careful, it doesn't take long to be in a bad situation! Stay alert and aware when out and about in any kind of wilderness, even if it doesn't seem all *that* wild!

Utah is awesome! They focused mainly on south and eastern Utah here in this video. With the exception of Park city which is more north eastern. Bryce Canyon national park, canyon lands, Zion, and Capital Reef are absolutely amazing. I’ve lived in Utah for 32 years and there are soooo many other hidden gems in the state. I’m still discovering them to this day. Definitely would recommend a visit here. In fact I would recommend a visit to the western region of the USA.

I took a 30 day vacation road trip that started in California through Nevada & Utah to basically get to Wyoming to visit our first destination which was Yellowstone. Over to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore, then back to Wyoming & Montana. Great trip, beautiful scenery. We made a few quick pit stops in Utah to eat, stretch our legs, etc. The little we saw during that drive was so spectacular that I have wanted to get back to Utah for ages. I could spend the whole 30 days just exploring the beauty of Utah. It is magnificent. Done quite a bit of research, watched a lot of videos of the various National Parks, etc. Can't wait to get back there to enjoy the splendor. So very different from the beauty of my own state. One of the reasons I can appreciate it so much. Hope to get there soon! And I agree, the western region has so much to offer. Of course that's where the bulk of the National Parks are. Lucky us. :)

I would highly recommend selecting a region of the country, and renting a small r.v. Make the driving part of the vacation. Ask a local where to go, and the best ways to get there.

I live in California. I wouldn't live anywhere else. Weather, beautiful scenery, and the politics are all that I'm looking for. The highway through Big Sur just fell into the ocean, so it's a looooong detour around.

If you ever get to Michigan. You HAVE to go to Mackinac Island. It's really hard to describe it. Motels, Inns, B & B's(Bed & Breakfast), hiking, horse-drawn wagon tours. Rent bikes. Or horseback riding. SHOPPING. No motor vehicles are allowed. They scare & horses; and much better for the air. I'm definitely going to go again.

I visited Oregon in the summer it was snowing in the mountains

[@avshockey6633]

I live in Colorado. July is the only month of the year I have never seen it snow. I don't even live in the mountains, and so far we have had more than three feet of snow in the month of March.

[@emmef7970]

There are a few states that have snow in the mountains during summer besides Oregon. Washington, California, Wyoming & New Hamshire. Don't ever go to Yellowstone in late summer expecting a nice getaway or camping trip. Talk about cold & snow! Of course if you like your summer with a bit of snow, go for it. I wasn't prepared for the snow so I was a bit disappointed that it snowed the whole time we were there so we didn't get to explore as much as we had hoped.

I have lived in California for (almost) my entire life. I grew up in southern California and escaped to northern California first chance I could get. I agree with the fact that there are people EVERYwhere, along with the usual issues from crowding. But there are a couple of secret spots that I know of ... one stunning, secluded spot that offers Pacific Coast Redwoods behind me, pure ocean in front of me, and mesmerizing sky above me ... a spot that I found by pure lucky chance and that only the locals know about ... a spot that I will never reveal to anyone because ... well, it's a secret. I will say only that it's somewhere in between Carmel and Crescent City. ;)

[@james215]

I wouldn't say California is a nightmare, as someone from Sacramento, bay area and LA traffic are on another level and the cost of living is high. But what else can you expect when the coldest it gets is in the mid 50's and it's basically sunny all year. And not to mention your typically only a few hours from anything, beaches, the forest, the desert, etc. I grew up thinking I wanted to leave but honestly can't see myself anywhere else at this point.

[@alex22153]

Right I can’t ever imagine dealing with hurricanes or tornadoes or snow storms

[@emmef7970]

Thankfully, it's alot of transplants that come for the weather, the dream, big business employees, tech companies, the movie industry, etc. that end up packing up and leaving. It can only bode well for the state to get rid of as many people as possible. And we can get back to being the state we were before the influx of people from around the country. It's a bit like living in New York City, it's crazy expensive (in the larger cities), the cost of living is high, the traffic can be bad (depending where you are) but overall it's worth every penny just for what the place has to offer. There is so much more to do here than other states, not much of anything that you can't see, do, or find here.

Beesley commented on the fact that yes, the Hoh Rainforest is on the Olympic Peninsula (west side of state), but omitted that there are large areas on the eastern side, that qualify as deserts. The Sun Lakes for instance, are beautiful. BUT, if you're going to Eastern WA in the summer, especially you Brits, whose genes make me burn like a vampire in that strong sun, TAKE YOUR PREFERRED SUN SCREEN. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[@dantescave1]

When you plan your trip… timing is important! late Spring in California and Hawaii, then early summer head to Alaska… all three are inexpensive to travel to from each other… that is the trip to make (although California alone would make an ultimate trip alone)….forget Montana, California has the same things…

[@Smileybeeblevrox]

I live in CA, and like anywhere else it has its drawbacks, but I love it. The biggest drawback is the cost of living due to overpopulation and is compounded by a slow response to develop housing (specifically affordable housing instead of mansions for the super wealthy). This is definitely the hardest part for me because I am definitely not rich. Some areas of the state are worse than others. Big cities have a lot to see and do, but they are expensive just like anywhere else. Despite what this video says CA is far and away the best state at pollution control. In fact it is one of the biggest players in environmental policy globally. Yes the cities are crowded, and dirtier, but thats what cities are. The more people in an area the harder it is to maintain perfection. That being said CA is gorgeous, welcoming, diverse in people, food, industries and landscape. It is also a farming powerhouse. CA produces a 3rd of the countries vegetables, and two thirds of its fruits and nuts. That means that food quality for the people that live here is just beyond amazing. I had a friend who moved to Colorado and they said the 2 things they miss most about CA is the people and food. The agriculture paired with the diversity of cultures means absolutely stunning food options. I think this video maker is biased to isolated untouched wilderness, which I will 10000% agree is stunning, but CA has that stunning landscape AND it has the wonders that humans create. CA is the birthplace of major entertainment and tech between Los Angeles/Hollywood and Silicone Valley. CA has the largest economy in the US, and it has the 5th largest economy world wide. Our University system is the best public college system in the country. Really there is so much to love. I know there is plenty of work to be done and things to be frustrated by in CA, but I think in recent years it has been saddled with undeserved hate. You should definitely visit. I have been to New York, Florida, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Hawaii, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. All of those states are worth visiting and I am sure many other states are too, but I have never loved anywhere the way I have loved CA.

[@jameskoralewski1006]

It needs good pollution control with all the smog generated by the stifling traffic.

I was born and raised in Washington state.. It has 5 active volcano's.. Back on 05/18/1980 Mt. St. Helens blew up, I lived maybe 120 miles away, but ended up with about 10 inches of ash all over our town.. Look it up, I provided you the date.

@@mrexists5400 I agree. Yellow stone makes me nervous. People don't realize it's going to blow pretty soon if the geologists are right.

[@justinbeath5169]

Rainier looks like a threat because of how big it is, but if it were to erupt the major cities would mostly just suffer from air pollution and ash falling, and Tacoma would be the most severely hit with power shortages. Puyallup is the most populated place that would be destroyed, but there would be warning signs days in advance for people to evacuate. The real threats are the Seattle fault line and cascadia subduction zone. Those may not have warnings

As a native SoCal girl, can verify that it's diverse here. I mean, you can go from the lowest point, 282 ft below sea level(Badwater basin in Death Valley) to the highest point, 8,360 of 14,505 ft above sea level (Whitney Portals at Mount Whitney) in the contiguous United States. Oh, and they run a foot race every year from Death Valley to Whitney Portals called "The Badwater 135 Ultramarathon". Brutal since they have it in mid July!

I knew pretty much the entire west coast states of the USA from Hawaii to Alaska would have to be on this list. I live in Washington State, Seattle to be exact. It is one of the most visually stunning cities on the planet. Wake up, open your curtains and there’s a large ice cream cone of a mountain. Look out a different facing window and there is an entire mountain range as far as the eye can see with a large lake at the base. The only other city I find equally as beautiful with a similar feel would be Vancouver BC. When I hear foreigners say Americans don’t travel, I know they themselves haven’t traveled extensively in the USA. They don’t realize how vast, varied and diverse the USA is. You could literally travel every weekend to a different beautiful place in the USA and be entertained for years, often you don’t have to leave your state or region. Americans do travel, we travel within our great majestic country most often. I am a world traveler, have lived or had extended stays in many foreign countries, but must admit that the USA is still the place I both love/hate to be.

I need to do some traveling! He had a great list, but I don't agree with Montana being #2, more like 10. The Smokey Mountains in Tennessee are amazing, Big Bend National Park in Texas and the Hill Country are very nice. The east coast is beautiful and Florida. Too many to name. We need to open up so we can travel and live again!
