I'm fairly new to this part of the country. Broadly speaking, I'm from the western US and am used to abundantly beautiful landscapes.
If you're talking about the coastal states, I strongly agree. My family went on a 13 day 6500km road trip last March, from BC to Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, then back through Oregon, and Washington. So many beautiful places along the way. We also went down Hwy 101 along the Oregon coast into California this March, it was also amazingly beautiful.
