Pittsburgh ties with SF and Seattle for having the most beautiful senery within the city, but I don't see the scenery outside the city to be partiularly noteworthy. Nice, but not jaw-dropping. Am I missing something?
I don't want to hijack your thread but I have been trying to think about some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen near a town. The town that had the most different places nearby was Flagstaff, Arizona.
It has the Grand Canyon to the North and the Painted Desert to the East. We also drove from there to a dam on the Arizona/Utah border that had the most beautiful blue water and rock formations, there was a trip from the timeshare we stayed at there to Monument Valley but we have still never been there. There were other places we went to that I don't remember the name of and one place on a mountain we did not get to because the weather was too bad to take the lift. The trip down the canyon to Sedona, Arizona would have been worth the trip there, but a bonus was Montezuma's Castle Indian ruins plus.
I stayed in Flagstaff when I was visiting the Grand Canyon. It's very accessible to a lot of great scenery.
