No question the West icons shine bright but the East Coasts landscape goes 300 miles wide until merges with the Midwest /Tennessee Valley etc etc... No barren land to speak of. Away from the immediate West Coast you are overcome with fruitless,parched moonscape.

This one right here. Repped Next thing you'll know though, someone will come on here and say East Coast scenery is "overrated" or "pathetic" LOL

The coastline of Oregon, Washington (state), and British Columbia is the absolute most beautiful/gorgeous/awestriking/otherworldly/out-of-this-realm stretch of scenic coastline I've ever seen in the continental United States and continental Canada, ever. The way those mountains and palisades tower over the large metronomic waves that crash along the rocks on the shores of the Pacific Ocean is nothing short of absolutely spectacular (regardless of who you are or what sort of scenery you are into).

The scenery of the Western United States is pretty epic, like a whole different species/ball-game from the scenery you typically find in the (mostly uniform) Eastern United States. Whole different level.

The northwest is great but the eastern scenery is definitely more aesthetically pleasing than the southwest. The southwest just looks too dry and brown for me to call it beautiful. You can classify some of them as unique though. There are a few hints of green around the southwest here and there, but even a lot of the green spots look dry...

The east is just on different level when it comes to that. Not just hills/mountains either, greenery on the east is on a different level in terms of trees and vegetation as well.

And I'm sorry I just don't find the rock formations in the west coast to be all that special, the whole dry and brown stuff applies to those as well, at least from what I have seen. I would much rather go into the water and feel the waves all up close in person, something that's hardly feasible in the Pacific.

Default The West coast

I overwhelmingly prefer the West coast, an area of the country that adjusts to you, rather than forcing you to adjust to it.

I used to live on the east coast, and got tired of gargling with rocks in my month each morning, just to prepare for the day.

I meant "gargling with rocks in my MOUTH", not month.

Here's an interesting story of Grammy award winner Brandy singing and being ignored by the desensitized New York bunch on the subway.
