Even though West Virginia is my favorite, really I would vote for any place in the Appalachians and their foothills.

North/central Alabama, northern Georgia, east Tennessee, western North Carolina, north-western South Carolina, east Kentucky, western Virginia, West Virginia, South-eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, North-western New Jersey (yes, even Jersey), and almost all of New England (arguably including Rhode Island).

But I guess I'm painfully bias. XD

If I had to choose a state outside of the Appalachians, I would pick Utah. Utah has nearly EVERY American landscape you can imagine.

Out of the States I've personally been to and lived in, I choose Virginia and more specifically the the Piedmont region around the Shenandoah Valley. The Appalachian Mountains are gorgeous, especially in the Autumn season when the leaves change to many different colors. Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Northern Alabama are just as beautiful.

CookieSkoon, It's good to know I'm not the only Louisianian who thinks the same way.

Another Appalachian who has been displaced to the soggy bayous?

These flat lands make me feel lost I must say.

Hawaii.

No comparison.

Almost every climate and terrain imaginable from rainforest to snow-capped mountain.

Yup, I went from taking apples from The Orchard I grew up down the road from, to stopping on the side of the road and cutting off a piece of a stalk from a sugarcane field.

lol

Have to admit though, this time of year Louisiana is pretty darn gorgeous. Even if it's at sea level.

Even though I am from Texas, I vote for MONTANA. Prettiest state I have seen.

Don't knock on our plains too much, when late spring / early summer rolls around, it's actually really beautiful in the late afternoon when storms develop.

And the rest of our state definitely more than 1000 times makes up for our eastern third (when it's brown and dead of course )

My list of the most beautiful that I've seen...

Alaska
[every Western state]
Maine
