I'm an American truck driver, I watch your videos at night parked in truck stops all over the country. And can say without any doubt, America has the most amazing natural landscape in the world. The only thing that matches the natural beauty, is mother nature. Our weather is incredible, I have went from 70 degrees and sunny, to 20 degrees with a foot of snow on the ground in one day. To me the the 3 most beautiful states in America is Oregon, Montana and South Dakota. Colorado would be number 4. And if you want a great vacation in America, I would suggest the white sand beaches of Destin Florida. It's my favorite place in America.

Incredible forests, quaint coastal beach towns, mountains, waterfalls...a ton of wineries and craft breweries. It has a massive tourist industry.

Alaska chiming in here - if you want a city and then be able to drive just a few minutes and you're in the middle of nature, this is the place. We have world class restaurants you won't find anywhere else, and it's extremely diverse. There are over 100 different languages spoken by students in Anchorage, schools, for example. This makes our culinary options extremely diverse. No one can compare to our wildlife, or scenic views. And if you're coming, come for a couple of weeks. You could spend an entire lifetime up here and never see all of it. No way you can do it justice in a couple of days, or on a cruise. A cruise only shows you a small sliver of the state. It's amazing up here. I've lived all over the US and call this home. And I'm a photographer also. Come on up. I'll take you to all the cool spots. And yes, we drill for oil and have been for over 40 years. Find a video on the transalaska pipeline to view. Alaska is 6 times larger than the entire UK.

The other route is Highway 2, which takes you to Leavenworth and along the Wenatchee River.

[@vixxie9390]

Just some info for you blokes as someone from Seattle: Mt Rainier/ Mt Tahoma is about 2 hours south and is nowhere close to Spokane. Spokane is on the other side of the state. If you want, on your own time, to see truly amazing nature photography look at photos of Mt Tahoma. When we go, any time of year, it is such a large mountain that the climate and weather changes drastically as you climb in elevation and when you go you truly get a feeling of how old this place is. I have photos of giant trees growing out of previously fallen trees. When we go we bring multiple changes of clothing for various weathers. We can even go in the summer and play in the snow because it is a glacier. Best national park imo, hands down. Grove of the Patriarchs images blow me away and I have been there.

21:55 Hawaii resident here! Hawaii is definitely one hell of a flight but it’s definitely doable. There is a direct route from JFK to Honolulu (via Hawaiian airline) but it’s like a 14 hour flight haha.

One of the great things about Portland, Oregon, is the accessibility to the different biomes. You can find virtually any clime within an hour and a half's drive. Further and you can find more isolated spots, though parks are only crowded close to Portland or the northern coast. If you get deep into the Cascades, it's easy to go without seeing anyone. And the Oregon Outback seems to go on and on forever, a high plains desert contiguous with the vast ranges of purple sage stretching all the way from Canada to Las Vegas, interspersed with small mountain ranges throughout.

[@willcool713]

@@frankfroggatt8593 Portland has always been the place for people who don't belong. Long heritage, waves and waves of the dispossessed for going on seven decades. The old wave feels replaced by a new wave of immigrants, and the older folks move to Eugene (or Bend, now, too). And then a similar thing happens with people moving from Eugene to Ashland, these days Medford, too. Portland used to be one of the hotspots for retired expat espionage agents from around the world, back when the Willamette Valley was among the most educated places on the planet. Portland is still the home of the otherwise dispossessed, but we forgot who we were for awhile, growing into our bigger city dynamic and focussing on business and tourism. Portlandia, the TV show, really confused everyone about who we are -- especially the native born, who rarely fare well here because they grow up feeling like they don't belong, not knowing that's why people come here. I think we're starting to remember, but the rampant homelessness is a key sign that we don't fully remember ourselves yet. Supposed to be, there's at least space here for those who don't belong, if not full acceptance. That's why we're weird, not leftist politics or anything else definable, but the undefinability of others' rejection.

Going east, the Cascades transition quick into a high desert (sparce somewhat flat grass land all the way over to Spokane ('Spo-can' BTW) on the north-east corner of the state and jumps into the beginnings of the Rocky Mountains, which is a sliver of the Idaho panhandle, then becomes western Montana.

u gotta drive up to alaska threw canada. its an insane trip and incredible sights. although it is a very long trip, most people just fly up haha.

It's crazy when you come from a state that has mountains like I do and then u go to one that doesn't. It really messes with your head

[@stevenspalding8983]

I actually did a trip to isle royal national park in Michigan this summer. It is a 10 hour drive from Detroit and then a three hour boat ride. Or you can take the 1 hour seaplane ride instead of the boat

[@GT-ry1cv]

Alaska is nuts, I used to have to go there in June and December for a work and in June it's 2:00 am tee times at the golf course and December is pretty much no work during daylight because people tended to take a long lunch and that was about all the daylight. This was in Fairbanks btw.

I can't believe New York wasn't on this list. The Adirondacks, Catskills, Finger Lakes region, Thousand Islands region, Niagara Falls, Great Lakes, Lake Champlain...Upstate NY is beautiful.

It's nice but New York really can't compete with the states on this list. Arizona and Wyoming didn't even make it. I guess I'm not sold on Michigan, but I otherwise thought the provided list was spot on.

Either can I believe that New York is not on this list as it should be but again it’s just personal preference but I think mostly that’s because we just associate New York City with New York and not the surrounding areas we have So much beauty like The Adirondacks, Catskills Lake George niagara Falls there is a lot to see but maybe I’m biased because I am a New Yorker

The east coast forests were a lot prettier 150 years ago, before we lost all the Chestnut and Elm trees from the forests. The chestnuts alone made up 25-35% of the canopy, and were 100 feet tall. At one time the lyrics "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." recalled experiences many Americans had enjoyed. The American Chestnut was the east coast version of Redwoods, but were far more common. They were all wiped out (except a few tiny pockets) by a blight introduced from China (no covid jokes).

[@nancysexton4364]

You reminded me, I grew up in Michigan and my parents told me Detroit used to known as "The City of Trees." Unfortunately they were mainly elm trees, so Detroit was essentially deforested. We also had a huge elm tree in our back yard that ultimately died as well. Apparently there's a cure for Dutch Elm disease now, but too late for a lot of places.

[@MrVvulf]

@@nancysexton4364 There are quite a few organizations working to create a blight resistant Chestnut. Various methods are used, but most involve cross breeding with species that are already resistant to the blight. Hopefully, they'll succeed in creating a viable Chestnut species that can be reintroduced to our forests. But nobody alive today will ever experience a forest with widespread mature chestnuts. Perhaps my grandchildren or later generations. It's worth the effort. Of course, there are whack-job protestors who equate this process to mad scientists risking all of our lives. Which is completely preposterous, and ignores the fact that humans have been influencing both plant and animal genetics for thousands of years. Where do these people think all the different dog breeds and seedless grapes etc. came from?

[@INDYANDY4C]

Summertime Alaska is beautiful and busy, while still remote and wild! Also, AK is about 1/3 the size of the 48 Continental States.

[@troyboi7662]

winter is beautiful too, especially since you get to see the northern lights quite often!

[@marceecousins8516]

As a Native Oregonian, I can honestly say I've seen most of the state except SE side. The coast is beautiful and cool, the mountains-and we have lots around us- are majestic. Mt Hood is one of the only mountains in the states to have year round snow. The eastern side of the state is smaller towns with larger farm lands where you'll get all 4 seasons, while the west side is full of bigger towns and more green. If you go down. Funny fact you can travel from Newport Oregon across the country to Boston Mass on US Route 20. And Leavenworth is a beautiful place to visit especially in the winter. It becomes like Santa's village.

[@willardwooten9582]

Since Thursday you could not drive from Seattle to Spokane because all 3 mountain passes are closed with Snoqualmie Pass might open today , Sunday because of too much snow. I live just West of Mt Rainier by bird maybe 15 miles 25 to drive. My view from the couch is tree tops and the top 3/4 of Rainier which is snow capped year round. Their is a trail for you it starts at the Mexican Border in California ends at the Canadian Border in Washington 2650 miles.

[@michaelmccotter4293]

You boys crack me up. Alaska cities have microbrewery's that make some of the best beer in the US. In Anchorage you can go to a symphony or concert, and find 40 drinking establishments within walking distance and some of the best restaurants in the country. In June and July in the interior of the state I have seen it get as warm as 101 F degrees. Here near Anchorage last summer, the whole family came to our lake property to beat the heat and swim in the lake. It was in the 90's F as it usually does every summer.

Oh, great man. Beer. Just what the country needs, more places to get f****d up.

[@wthornton9526]

I’ve been in SE Alaska for many years and can tell you that before you visit you need a plan. They’ve been publishing an annual guide, the Alaska Milepost, that has covered things all over the state for many years. And one visit, unless you’ve got time to burn, will only get you to see a small fraction of the state. And the beauty of this place is not just what’s here, it’s also what’s not here.

[@troyboi7662]

yeah you need at least 2 weeks of a visit haha. growing up there and traveling all around, there are still many places I haven't seen. everytime I visit there I go on a road trip or 2 and see something new.

[@chrispavlich9656]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Every state has beauty if you look for it. Nothing more beautiful than the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Shenandoah Valley during the spring and fall in my opinion but I haven’t been EVERYWHERE in the USA, yet.

[@kevinforever6898]

I went on a road trip last summer from my home in Indiana to Seattle and back. It was such a powerful experience compared to just flying. The drive and stops along the way were by far the best part of the vacation. It’s also true about Washington state; there’s Spokane at the east edge and Seattle on the West coast and not much in between (other than some decent scenery here and there).

[@bracejuice7955]

Because Detroit is a garbage city, people think Michigan isn't a beautiful state but it is a very scenic state with countless cool towns, areas, and scenery. 3specially in the upper peninsula or "The U.P." as locals call it.

OK - here's what I think that you got as the distorted story of California's TV "Ban" In 2011 - California passed a law requiring a certain level of efficiency in new TVs sold within the state - there is no limit as to how big a TV you can buy... but the TV must not use more than x number of watts per square inch of screen area... also, this limit only applies to TVs with a screen that are basically equivalent to a 58 inch screen - or smaller. Clearly the electronics industry has adapted in the last 10 years.

It takes about 10-12 hours to drive through the whole state and there is so much to see! No other place compares.

Keep in mind coastlines are fractal, which means any claims of one being long than another are predicated on a single unit of measurement. Coastline length changes depending on how you measure them, even if you convert into the same standard.
