There is a noticeable change between Marinette WI and Menominie MI, that reflects the differences that can be seen all the way through those very different states.
I love the Pennsylvania/New Jersey border, but north of Trenton. Between Matamoras (the PA/NY/NJ border) and Trenton, the Delaware River is a smaller, more serene body of water as compared to the tidal part that passes through Philadelphia and its immediate suburbs (though I love that part as well). To me, the calmness of the water signifies that I have officially left a large, cosmopolitan city and entered nature. The PA/NJ border also passes through one of the most beautiful scenic areas in the US: the Delaware Water Gap.
North Carolina/Tennessee border for the Great Smoky Mountains.
In the East, I would put Georgia/Tennessee and then Georgia/South Carolina on the list.
Out West, I have to go with the Utah/Colorado border because you have a nice mix of mountains and mesas. Monument valley suggests that the Utah/Arizona border may be a solid runner up.
Is it nice around the MISS/TN border? I've always heard Memphis is real rough...but isn't the MS side pretty decent? Are Oxford and Starkville considered part of the metro?
Outside of the Pickwick Recreational area which is right near the TN/MS/AL triple point, it isn't that impressive in my opinion. Shiloh, a key Civil War battle was fought in that area as well.
Even though it is small, the KY/VA border (Pound Gap) is very impressive.

That area is awesome as is the Middlesboro (KY, TN, VA) area. Cumberland Gap tunnel is impressive to drive through. It is also one of only Two vehicle tunnels that cross State lines in the US. The other is on I-77 between Virginia and West Virginia.
At Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, one can stand on the State lines between KY and VA and look out over the Valley.
Texas Oklahoma. The scenery just changes so dramatically once you cross the border into Oklahoma. Oklahoma is to Texas as Canada is to America. Oklahoma, our home and native land! True patriot love, in all of us command!
Great Smoky Mountain National Park on the North Carolina/Tennessee border. It's a massive, breathtakingly beautiful area/region.
I love that area, too. The scenery and weather in East Tennessee and North Carolina remind me of the Yangtze River Delta in China. Nanjing, for example, has a similar climate to Raleigh. I don't want to go to China so long as the tyrannical CCP is in power. But I will go to Taiwan, and when I can't make it to Taiwan, I'll enjoy a piece of Chinese scenery in the US, in North Carolina.
Just look at these pictures of Nanjing. If it weren't for the architecture, you'd think you were in the rolling hills of the NC Piedmont.
Or this picture of Tianmu Shan, in Zhejiang. If it weren't for the architecture, you would probably think this was somewhere in the North Georgia mountains:
And yes, the lowlands of the Yangtze River Delta was, in Ancient China, the South, the land of cotton, and the textiles center of the country, just like North Carolina.
