Your friend from California must be right then?

Missouri is very beautiful, I have to say. The Ozarks I find especially lovely.

California...simply because of the Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra's are the tallest, and in my opinion most beautiful, mountain range in the lower 48. Combine that with the rest of the scenery in CA, and it's hard to beat.

No, I'm just giving one person's opinion.

I am so sick of people's snide remarks on this forum.

In order:

1. Oregon
2. Washington
3. Northern California, San Joaquin Valley, and the Sierras (SoCal is a dump)
4. Montana

I have a ton of Oregon/Washington pictures that I will post at some point...

Also, I have been to both Yosemite NP and Glacier NP and for me, Glacier wins the beauty contest hands down. I don't think I have ever had a more amazing drive than Going to the Sun Highway. I have pictures from there that I will post as well.

I can't vote because I haven't seen all the states yet. My experience has been that each state I have visited has been beautiful in its own way. My state, North Carolina, has beauty in the people who live here.
