This, at least for me personally.

Started out listing states, but you're right, it's all of them.

I'm from the west, so have seen and agree with the western areas that are beautiful, but I also lived in TN for a while and found it very pretty, especially the mountains around Gatlinburg.

Also, I had a honeymoon in Maine. We drove the coastline and stayed in bed and breakfasts. It was October and the wild blueberries were in fall color - it was breathtaking.

I'm not sure any state is beautiful on every side and in every corner of the state. For instance, all of the western states have usually a mountainous side that is green and lush, and a dry, desert-like side (usually the eastern side).

Heck, even Wyoming has a pretty mountainous side :-)

It really is. I've not driven through many western states but I drove from New Orleans to Denver and it was beautiful from about Amarillo to Colorado Springs. NE New Mexico was surprisingly like driving through an old western movie.
Also NE Georgia around Helen was gorgeous. Reminded me of the Alps without the jagged peaks.

This is what i love since i am not used to desert. Oregon from exemple, when i drove from the coast to bend to me it was perfect. from lush green forest , mountains to the high desert and a nice view of Mt. Hood
