This thread is so full of flawed 'logic' that I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.
SIZE doesn't make something more beautiful.
Same with how verdant something is. Merely being green, doesn't make a place more beautiful than somewhere more brown. Like, Okeefenokee Swamp vs The Grand Canyon. Yeah one is more verdant than the other, but let's be real....

Well, it's not like it's a rule that green = prettier, but many people would personally think so. I'm sure there are people out there who'd prefer a swamp to the Grand Canyon in terms of beauty. Maybe not in terms of "wow factor", but definitely in beauty.
If someone finds the East to be more beautiful than the West that means that person finds temperate deciduous forest to be more beautiful than any other biome and doesn't care about geographic or topographical diversity, to the point where they are happier with only temperate deciduous forest over a variety of scenery. The vast majority of the East is temperate deciduous forest except for a small area in the south.
I don't really. The plain/mountains of WY/CO reminds me of Rohan from Lord of the Rings. In my opinion arguably the most beautiful part of the country, although the desert southwest is beautiful too.

Yeah. Everywhere except for the south in the east is forested, let alone one specific type... oh wait. It is beyond silly to say that there is one kind of scenery out east and many out west.
Many different types of scenery exist within a single biome. To claim otherwise is ridiculous. (Unless you are claiming the mountains of New York are the same as the rolling hills of Iowa are the same as the coast of Lake Michigan, are the same as the Flint Hills, are the same as Ohio's hill country... etc...
A majority of the east may be a biome called "temperate deciduous forest", but you have to be insane to think that, in those areas, the scenery is "only deciduous forest." Cheeck out this "only deciduous forest" scenery.

Yeah and it is perfectly okay for someone to say that they find the Okeenenokee Swamp more beautiful than the Grand Canyon. It is a matter of preference.
Some people don't find big rocks "beautiful".
Are you saying people can't find the blackwater Swamps of the east more beautiful than a hole in the ground?

I thought this was all opinion? Aren't I allowed to have the opinion to think that a majority of the East look very similar? The mountains in the East are a joke compared to the mountains in the West. What people call mountains on the East we call hills on the West. You showed a picture of a beach, wow, no where else on earth has a beach! I have beaches that blow that away within two blocks of my house. I have mountains taller than any east of the Mississippi in my county and we consider those small mountains.
I'm not making the argument that all of the East looks exactly the same or that there are no unique areas. The Great Lakes, the Everglades, the Mississippi Delta and Niagara Falls are all unique. However, what I am saying is that much of the East looks very similar and there is only slight variation throughout much of the landscape.

Hahaha if you think the Grand Canyon is just a hole in the ground, then you are hopeless.
