New England

midwest
My thoughts exactly, but I would also be willing to throw the western regions of South Dakota into that mix.

I love Upper Michigan, though I consider it more of an extension of northern Wisconsin than part of Michigan-proper, or maybe even its own thing I guess. I think the Upper Midwest sister states of MN, WI and MI are the most underrated for scenery in the country, along with areas of the Appalachians and the western portions of some Plains States (Black Hills & Badlands/Dakotas, Sand Hills in Nebraska, etc.). Overall you have to go with Alaska, no? Or maybe Hawaii. Because of the size and diversity, I would probably go with CA for best beyond the outliers, though enormous swaths of CA are ugly desert and flat Kansas-like farmland.

If you happen to have some "jaw dropping" photos feel free to post them along with the city and state.
Some people like the desert and other people like the mountain and others wooded area , so you not going to get true answer here.

It comes down to what you are looking for.

Where do you want to live? What are you looking for a mountain or desert?

Hah. Last time I checked CA didnt have a city with huge skyscrapers. NYS takes the cake on this- it has the most variety- beaches, rural farms, big city, mountains, lakes. Other states have way more variety than CA.

Agreed. So much variety in this region. My fave time is fall in upstate NY- glorious.

Not only are we very pretty in this region, we are the most highly educated region in the country, so we're smart too

But New Jersey and Long Island have better beaches. The sand is whiter, and the water warmer.

If you want to talk Beach Towns, California can't be beat.
Right again... Esp LI. Most beautiful beaches in the entire country.

I think I might love you.
