I was shocked that wasn't mentioned. It is one of the most beautiful in the whole country. For a video like this, all of the National Parks associated with the state should have been mentioned, even if they weren't suggested by respondents.
Glacier National Park is in Montana. And it is absolutely gorgeous. I suggest looking up a few photos of Glacier NP and you'll see why Montana belongs on the list. I visit as often as I can. And I live in Maine so that's a 2,800 mile (4500 km) trip. So not a trip you take if it's only mediocre.
I live in Oregon and that octagonal building in the Columbia river gorge is called Crown Point. When Mt. St. Helens blew its top my son and I jumped into the car to get to Crown Point. It was nearly due south of the mountain and I will never forget the sight. There was no chance we could see the mountain on the other side of the river but the ash ejection cloud was the most powerful thing I have and ever will witness on this planet. Ungodly malevolent feeling. We live in the Willamette valley in the western half of the state in the big trees. We woke up at the beach one morning and by later that night were skiing down Mt Hood. We are about equidistant from either the beach or the mountains and it is less than 80 miles from either one from our house. Perfection. The eastern half of the state is desert. I don't do desert. I prefer the big ancient Douglas Fir trees. Come to Oregon sometime and see Crater Lake and the Oregon Caves, miles of white sand beaches that are by state law, 100% free access to the public.
I'm from Detroit, Michigan. My good friend moved back to Portland many years ago. I have traveled all over Oregon, because of her and also Washington State. What a gorgeous place Oregon is. Breathtaking. And Washington. Mt. Hood, Mt. Saint Helen, Mt. Rainer, Columbia River Gorge, Willamette Valley and the high desert and The Hoh rain forest. I'm tall and I love the Tall trees, Oregon makes me feel small and I love that.
Yes we are. And these lists almost always choose the more well known & dramatic areas. I like less known, less trafficked and less costly places. More relaxing too.
@@lindae2524 exactly... they called out Michigan, which makes me laugh - Minnesota or Wisconsin should have easily had that slot - same pretty lake views (with conveniently placed lighthouses), but a whole lot more too.
As a American and b4 watching id say Alaska could be up there high cuz ik its GORGEOUS even tho i could not deal with the cold and Washington state and Arizona. Im from Massachusetts and ik New England has major beauty tbh every state has some place with major beauty and lets not forget beauty is in the eye of the beholder
The US has something for everyone. It really depends on what you prefer. I've driven through most of the state's, and each one has its unique charm. My top 10 changes with my mood, sometimes a New England fall, sometimes a cactus filled desert, sometimes a PNW mountain forest. Watching the sun rise over the South Dakota Badlands is incredible.
Glacier Natoinal Park in Montana has the #2 most scenic drive in the world called Going to the Sun Road. I was shocked the video didn't even show it. It showed Flathead lake but not GNP.
Hi guys, I know it's not a spectacular type of scenery, but the swamps and bayeux of south Louisiana have a great deal of charm. You can rent a small rowboat for a few dollars and paddle through the streams. You're surrounded by cypress trees trailing Spanish moss, palmettos, vines, water hyacinths and more. It has a quite, peaceful, almost meditative quality. Just don't go in the summer when it's hot and humid and the mosquitoes are out!
@@fbksfrank4 snakes are more likely to be a problem on land, just watch where you step. As for gators, they are primarily ambush predators and are more likely to get you walking next to a body of water, so don't get too close to the edge of a bayou or lake, and of course, don't go swimming in areas where alligators live!
My father was born in Kansas and grew up in Nebraska. He described them both as "miles and miles of miles and miles." Just wheat or corn fields as far as the eye could see. I suspect that played a part in his enlisting in the Air Force at 20; he wanted to see more of the world.
It depends on what part of Kansas. I live in s.e. Kansas. We have tons of trees and hills. In fact we live on one of many hills and had to cut tons of trees just to clear a spot to build our house. Beautiful in the spring everything is green. Beautiful in the fall, color changes. Love my state. P.s. not to mention the peace and quiet. ❤
Old Faithful geyser is in Wyoming portion of Yellowstone. Only a very small portion is in Montana, But, google Glacier National Park in Montana and you’ll see why it’s on the list!
It seems that no one ever mentions South Carolina but it's a very beautiful place. You have mountains, beaches,forests, lakes, rivers as well as a lot of history and great food from top notch seafood to wonderful barbecue. I know as a native I may be a bit biased but still it is beautiful.
I've lived in Summerville and Goose Creek. You left out another beautiful part of the landscapes...the swamps! I love the critters so I'm a bit biased!
As an Arizonan I feel like they missed out on the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona. There’s Lake Powell( which is also in UT) which has Antelope Canyon.
I live in Utah and can confirm. Thing is the diversity is insane. Everyone focuses on the south, which IS stunnjng but so is where I live...up at the top of the state a the base of this mountain range. Salt Lake is RIGHT at the base of the awasatch range. Its what I thought Denver would look like. Skiing is AMAZING...likely hosting the Winter Games again in '34.
When he was speaking about Mackinac Island, they actually showed a Ludington, MI lighthouse which is on the west coast. Despite that, I highly recommend a MI visit! It's beautiful!
Yup. I noticed that, too. I understand that the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse (on the mainland across from the island) was made obsolete by the Mackinaw Bridge. Light up the bridge and ships know exactly where they are.
In the winter in Northern Michigan/Mackinac Island, St Ignace, you can ride a snowmobile back and forth to the island. Porcupine Mt is gorgeous. Old old old volcano. Lake of The Clouds is there. Sping,summer,fall trip. Snow closes it in the winter.
Look up Glacier National Park in the northwestern part of Montana. That is the most beautiful park I’ve seen. Most of Yellowstone Park is in Wyoming but Montana claims it too! 😁
Michigan has 2 National Lakeshores that are huge tourist destinations that I'm surprised were not mentioned. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore which is miles of enormous sand dunes along Lake Michigan and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore which are sandstone cliffs along Lake Superior. There is also a National Park in Michigan called Isle Royale. It is an island in Lake Superior. Other big tourist spots for natural beauty are Lake of the Clouds, Tahquamenon Falls, Turnip Rock and Kitch-iti-kipi which is the largest freshwater spring in Michigan. Michigan also has 129 lighthouses and Mackinac Bridge (pronounced Mackinaw). Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge 5 miles long connecting the upper and lower peninsulas. There are much better pictures and videos than the ones he showed for Michigan.
James and Millie, I might be a bit bias, but the Blueridge parkway in Fall/Autumn with the leaves changing turning various colors all over the Appalachian mountains.
The Appalachia Mountain chain begins in Maine and ends way down into Georgia. Here in Tennessee we call them the Smokey Mountains because the look Smokey from a distance. Then some in TN call them Blue Ridge but in NC, KY, VA, SC GA they call them the Blue Ridge Mountains because they do look very blue. Every state along the Appalachia is gorgeous!!!
Even though I'm from Massachusetts, I have to give a shout out to the wonderful scenery in New Hampshire. Everyone here tends to go to Lincoln or North Conway, NH to get away from the city life for a few days and enjoy the beautiful mountains.
As a former Yellowstone employee, I can tell you that 96% is in Wyoming, 3% in Montana, and 1% in Idaho. You're right Millie that Old Faithful is in the Wyoming part of the park, while Mammoth Hot Springs is in the Montana part. The Gallatin Canyon drive to West Yellowstone is so beautiful, with Big Sky resort along this drive. If you google Pallisades Falls in Bozeman, you will see the beauty of Hyalite Canyon too!
As a Juneau, Alaska resident, I can confirm that the cruise industry in Alaska is a great way to see multiple cities and still leave enough to do in each city that future cruises will always have more options than you can possibly get to in a day / week. I think the two of you would really enjoy a cruise in Southeast Alaska where I live. The great thing about cruising is that your "hotel" (ship) is always traveling with you, but don't forget about the option of renting an R.V. (caravan) and spending time at Denali.
Kenai Peninsula here. The Kenai Fjords are also gorgeous, as well as the drive over Thompson Pass into Valdez. There are SO many places in AK that are phenomenal! Everywhere you go, pretty much. The view across Cook Inlet, looking at the Alaska Range, and three of its volcanoes, is simply stunning. It is a joy driving to, and from, work.
@tofersiefken - I flew to Ankorage, rented a car to go to Denali and Talkeetna (for the 4-seater plane ride over Denali), then to Seward for a boat and sea plane excursion, then used the ferry system for the Inside Passage, with several stops, to get back to Seattle. It was a great trip. I can see how an RV would work for a family.
@@reindeer7752 Wow, it sounds like you had a great experience and planned well. I've taken the ferry a number of times between Bellingham, WA and S.E. Alaskan ports. I've traveled camping in the Solarium area, sleeping in the lounges and staying in a cabin. I have to say, the cabin was the way to go, especially on the longer trips. When I travel, I generally want to take my Jeep, so the ferry is perfect for me. Certainly, flying is faster, but I'm retired, and the slower pace of the ferry is relaxing for the three-day trip "down south". The trip to Skagway is much shorter, has great Jeeping opportunities, and is a short distance from the Canadian border.
I believe 20:40 is downtown Telluride, Colorado. Butted up against a mountain, there was only one way in and out. In 1889, Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank, the San Miguel Valley Bank. Great skiing resort now but beautiful year around.
That is Crown point, at one time it was a gift shop and snack shop. The road winds around and drops down to Multnomah Falls. It is a very Twisty section of road with a lot of switch back as it drops down to the bottom of the gorge in a short distance.
Old Faithful is in Wyoming...not Montana. The park barely extends into Montana along its northern and NE boundaries. I was surprised there was no mention of Glacier Nat'l Park in the Montana segment. Perhaps Oregon is down on the list because not many come here and explore. at 16m40s they are showing Vista House on Crown Point in the Gorge. It's not far from Multnomah Falls. Some other great places to check out in Oregon are; Smith Rock State Park (Central Oregon)__Painted Hills (North Central Oregon)__Wallowa Mountains (NE Oregon)__Leslie Gulch (Eastern Oregon)__Rogue and Illinois Rivers (SW Oregon). Anyone can search these online for pics.
ive said before that utah is well worth seeing. he didnt mention the San Rafael Swell, its just south of my home. and the largest dinosaur bone site is in cleveland ,about 10 miles south.the wasatch mountains are cool to. he said about the amtrak trip through the rockies, i once suggested you take amtrack around the usa, you can stop,rent a car look around an area for a few days,reboard a train and carry on.. here to see the utah parks, stop in salt lake city, no rental cars down here, but you could hit all 5 parks and some beautiful areas that arnt parks, then into new mexico or arizona and catch another train.
Was surprised that Washington state wasn’t in there. Really should be, with places like North Cascades National Park, Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, Mt. St. Helens, the Columbia River valley, it really is a stunning state.
The Rainier National forest, The Olympic National Forest (the only Rainforest in North America), Cape Disappointment, Diablo Lake, The Blanca Lake Trail, Mt. Baker, The Columbia River Gorge, the gorgeous rolling hills of Palouse, the Long Beach coastline, Lake Chelan, the San Juan Islands, and Mt. St. Helens...just to name a few. Washington got robbed! It's way more beautiful & diverse than Alaska. Alaska is just, big.
@@impishsongster333 i’ve been to both states, and I couldn’t disagree more. Alaska absolutely, deserves to be that high, if not, higher! If any state should be replaced, it’s Michigan I lived in Alaska for four years, and the most beautiful state I’ve ever seen.
@@darkjedi74 I happily disagree. It deserves to be on the list, but not at #2. The landscape isn't diverse enough to be rated that high on the list. Should have been somewhere in the 5-10 spots. There are definitely states besides California, that deserve to be ahead of Alaska.
@@impishsongster333 I would submit to you that if you don’t think AK is diverse, perhaps you’ve been misinformed about it. It has far and away more variety of geologic and ecologic zones of any state in the nation, by a very wide margin. From towering, majestic mountains and volcanoes, glaciers, tundra and taiga terrain, over 6 million lakes, to rainforests in the southeast. It is far from a land that stereotypes would suggest is all ice and igloos. It is also a land that is teeming with more wildlife than any other state, as man has had far less impact on it. Climate zones within the state vary radically. From moderate and damp year-round in the south east, cold, with heavy snow in the winter in the south Central, while mild in the summertime, yet in the interior, they see the most extreme temperatures between winter and summer of anywhere on earth, seeing temperatures as cold as -80° in the winter, and up to 95° in the summertime. Yeah, still other places, like Turnagain Arm, and the Aleutian Islands see some of the most ferocious sustained winds on earth.
Born and raised in California and there's so much more than LA and San Francisco. If you do visit, look into the smaller cities and towns. Definitely look into Mammoth Lakes. It's like Yosemite, but on a smaller scale. More little kid friendly.
Washington is often ignored, but it's a shame, because the beaches on the northeastern part of the state are beautiful. Ruby Beach is a favorite. And the Hoh Rainforest is amazing, and unique. There are multiple mountain peaks, with Mt. Rainier being able to be seen from multiple places.
Native Californian here....California has it all. You can surf in the morning then head to the mountains to get in some skiing in the afternoon. I love my state.
About Wyoming - he was saying that there are geothermal features (like Old Faithful) in Wyoming as well. Guysers, hot springs, etc… Old Faithful is one of MANY guysers
I’m an American of 42 years old..it wasn’t til the past 10 years that I realized there are so many places!! Some of the most beautiful places aren’t even talked about on a national level..like kept secret
Keep in mind that he said 4000 people voted, and 49 of the 50 states each got votes. States like Kansas got six votes and Nebraska got 13 votes like he said at the beginning, so if you add up the 40 states that didn’t make this list. It is a considerable amount when you add them all together. That is why the vote totals seem low.
I would say Hawaii, Utah,and California. I’ve never been to Alaska, but I hope to go one day. Most of the states that I’ve been to have some beautiful areas.
We have been to all 50 states, most more than once, and the train ride from Denali down to Seward is one of the most amazing things we have done. We loved the Big Island of Hawaii-it is less commercial than some of the others and dining near Kilauea after dark was a highlight. Love Northern California... too many things to list. Niagara Falls, New York is a fantastic place to see, but you need to go to both sides to get the full effect. South Dakota is amazing with many things to enjoy. And of course Grand Canyon is a must see The drive through the Appalachian Mountains is breathtaking. Every state has their own things making the trip worthwhile. I am not sure about mailing outside the states, but most will mail you a travel brochure showing the highlights. . I am surprised Oklahoma did not get any votes. It is rich in history and has some nice places to explore. I could go on and on, but every state has things I would go back to see again.
I grew up in Marin County which is what is on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Sandwiched between San Francisco and Napa/Sonoma Valley. I have been to all the places mentioned and more it's amazing!!!!! P.s. I was born in Oklahoma and live there now, and I can say there are beautiful places here..I mean we have wild mustang horses!!! Much love to you guys, my husband and I love your channel! Kisses for Archie! Respect from an Okie born Cali raised woman!
Acadia is beautiful. Montana has Glacier National Park. Should have been mentioned. Absolutely beautiful. Nothing wrong with prairies! The Red Desert of Wyoming is also beautiful. Backpacking in the Porcupine Mountains is great. The Columbia River Gorge is beautiful too. The Great Salt Lake does stink but it’s really cool. Colorado is great too! Haven’t been to Alaska yet. Bucket list stuff. Been to NAPA many times. Lots and lots of other states/places that didn’t make this list. One of my favorites is Washington (state).
We have beauty in every state, in the United States of America, but my home in the Appalachian Mountains is my favorite West Virginia the entire Appalachian region is beautiful 🔥🤟⛪👨👩👧👦🇺🇸💪💯😉
My sister lived in Seward, on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. We drove all around the Kenai and it was by far the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And then you get to Homer. Please do a video on Homer, Alaska.
I really think North Carolina should have made the list. From the outer banks beaches to the smoky mountains, blueridge mountains and North Carolina is home to the highest point east of the Mississippi River ( mount mitchell ) it’s a beautiful state. Also they missed out by not including arizona too imo
I'm in Utah but I did my 5 grade (1985) state report on North Carolina. Have not been. Yet. Is the average Year round temperature still close to perfect?? If I'm remembering right it was 72(?)°f.
@@lianabaddley8217that's hilarious 😂😂😂 I can't imagine it was ever that low. It was in the 80s until today. It's not perfect at all, it's HOTTTTT and humid as hell year round. 72 still feels hot, but 72 will only happen a couple weeks of the year. 8 months of 80-100+. And 100 % humidity. It's DISGUSTING. I've lived and traveled most of the southeast and some of the west. Texas, Nevada, Florida... all are more comfortable than most of NC. Especially central and coastal. The mountains are much much nicer weather. In central NC it's in the 80s on Christmas sometimes. Even if it's not that warm, a lot of people especially those with large families eat thanksgiving and Christmas dinner outside. The "winter" is the only comfortable time of year, honestly. Especially if you have any breathing issues like asthma. Or allergies. And winter is only January and February.
Yes exactly ! And add the mystical feeling the smokies gives is amazing.. a peek of biltmore estates would have been ok too. Then add in the outer banks for it’s beautiful beaches and mt Mitchell.. just so much of nc to appreciate ❤ @@rashadwalker8218
@@lavenderoh hmmm. Now I'm gonna have to see if I can find it again. I actually saved it and showed it to my kids just a couple of years ago. My older sister lives in Texas and they come home to visit. Everytime I swear 1 of the nieces/nephews, probably 1 that lives here in Utah will say "Ugh it's soooo Hot outside". Then my sister or 1 of her kids will say, "well. At least it's a Dry Heat." "But at the same time, it is a Very Dry Heat". Lol 🥵 plus at least we do "Get" 4 seasons here even if they sometime switch places every so often. Spring, Winter, Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall, Winter. Lol
I am a Jersey boy and it pains me to say this, but where was New York? Upstate NY is amazing. One of the most beautiful places. I love the Catskills. Also If it were up me I'd have put NJ at number 10 and I would have put New Hampshire on that list for sure possibly even Vermont.
My family owns a couple hundred acres in upstate New York just outside of Oneonta and it's one of my favorite places to spend time, it's a truly beautiful place.
I agree that Upstate New York is beautiful. I would make it #12 behind Washington state. New York's beauty with The Adirondack Mountains, Catskill Mountains, Finger Lake region, numerous waterfalls and gorges, Niagara Falls, Glens Falls, Letchworth State park which is also known as the "Grand Canyon of the East". Surprisingly, New York has 2,000 waterfalls.
Exactly. These lists hardly ever touch on the Northeast. More biased towards the more commonly recognized (& gorgeous) places. Get off the beaten track. It can be rolling hills, pretty lakes & quaint villages too. Yeah, I know its supposed to be natural areas but little NEng villages are so nice. (South Jersey farmers daughter)
The building on the round curved road in Oregon is the Vista House at Crown Point. It is a viewing area. Stunning view up the Columbia river gorge. Built during the early part of the 1900's as a roadside stop for the old East/West Columbia River Highway there. Still beautiful. And yes, the building has a basement/cellar, but it is nothing too deep or interesting, which takes nothing away from the rest. Lovely place to stop and look.
That’s funny what you called a viewing platform in Oregon in the Columbia River gorge is a place called rooster rock and is basically exactly that… pretty park and stuff. That’s where at sunset my husband told me he loved me for the first time 18 years ago 🙂
Nevada Is Seriously Underrated As A Beautiful State!! Lake Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, Pyramid Lake, Valley Of Fire State Park, Washoe Lake State Park, The Truckee River, Lake Mead.
I'm guessing, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Montana, Washington state, Oregon, California, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming. However, Hawaii, Alaska, Arizona could be in there as well.
Colorado! I live close to Rocky Mountain National Park and it’s an easy drive… just 45 minutes or less from Loveland (40 minutes north of Denver). What you didn’t hear about is abundant wildlife, friendly people, 300 days of sunshine, lots of award winning breweries and this is a coffee state along with the West Coast. Best time to be here is late Spring before kids are out of school, and Fall before the end of October. My favourite drive is from Fort Collins 3 hours to Steamboat. (Steamboat has a rodeo in the Summer…google the dates).
Usually this guy is on target, but he got fundamentally confused about Montana vs. Wyoming. Montana has Glacier National Park up near the Canadian border. That's its #1 attraction. Wyoming is primarily known for Yellowstone and Grant Tetons National Parks. 96% of Yellowstone is in Wyoming. Only 3% is in Montana (with 1% in Idaho), and there are no attractions or lodgings within the Montana portion of the park.
Hey Millie, I agree with you about it taking so little of a stage set. I like technology, but it sure is nice to see how they did it back then. I hope all is well.
Beesleys, though CA is beautiful, I wouldn't include Hollywood as one of the eyepoppers. It's a neighborhood in LA that's kind of dumpy nowadays. At 2:44 is something found on the Navajo Res. right on the AZ/UT line--Monument Valley--absolutely stunning! Old Faithful is in WY, in the SW quadrant of the park, around 40 mi./64 km. S of the MT state line. There's another national park on the Canadian border, with a twin in Canada, by the name of Glacier. The Canadian version is Waterton Lakes. Side note for no extra charge: MT is almost the same size as Germany. Re. Mackinac Is., in the winter, because of all the nearby water, they get a ton of snow. Then, because they have no motorized vehicles allowed (except in winter), the kids are taken to school via snowmobile. In the Oregon section, he mentioned Lewis and Clark, who were commissioned by Pres. Andrew Jackson in 1803 (?) to check out the recently acquired Louisiana Purchase. Monument Valley is on the Navajo Reservation. Alaska has 4 seasons like everywhere else. On the winter solstice, the sun doesn't come up in Fairbanks and north, and it can get to 40 below or colder there. However, in the Panhandle, it's very mild on the same day, with much more rain than snow, and Anchorage is about the climate of Minneapolis. At 29:15 is Manawaiopuna Falls (mah-nah-vie-oh-POO-nah), which was seen in Jurassic Park. Re. the small number of votes, don't forget that each person in the 4000 voted for 10 states, so most, if not all of them, used up a minimum of 1000 votes. CA has more national parks than any other state: Lassen Volcanic, Redwood, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Channel Islands, Joshua Tree, Death Valley, and Pinnacles.
Having lived in Alaska for several years, I cannot believe only the Aleutian Islands were mentioned for cruising. The mountains in Anchorage was skipped. The midnight sun in Fairbanks was skipped, oh my god. But I have also lived in Wyoming and loved it, Yellowstone was amazing. I LOVED Yellowstone. I live in Ohio now and the scenery isn’t on par with some others but you can’t beat the affordability lol. I love it. Alaska is definitely the prettiest state, though. Also, Arizona wasn’t on here and it’s gorgeous, too. Lol too many states.
You have extra consideration for a trip with a little one. I did a three week car trip from Michigan to Montana with a planned 5 day backpack into the mountains when my kids were 4 and 1. But I knew they traveled well and we practiced hiking and camping. And when the mountain we were on caught fire during our dinner we had backup plans. Many kids can't handled the long hours tied into a car seat, many parents might want less planning.
Remember in Alaska in the summer you get as much as 23hours of sunshine & winter (close to Christmas) you get as little as 1 hour of daylight, BUT the Araura Borialis aka Northern Lights 🤔 I dunno when those are best prolly winter😂❤
They figured out all 7200 Philippine islands can fit in Colorado. I drove over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado before and reach an elevation of over 14,000 feet above sea level. If you have breathing problems like asthma you probably shouldn't go up that high, you could suffer from apoxia and pass out. It's a super curvy road and has places where you can pull off the road and take in the views.
Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, S. Carolina, California. We live in Oregon (Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge and Pacific Beaches and sand dunes at the beaches!)
I’m biased but I would have to mention the state of Wisconsin. After Michigan it has the 2nd most Great Lakes shoreline. It also has something like 11,000 inland lakes. I live in Milwaukee, a large city on the western shores of Lake Michigan. Within 20 miles from my residence my family has a lake cottage on Waubeesee Lake. It’s a small (129 acres) but deep (80 feet) glacially formed lake but it’s like being in a different world than in the city. It’s my favorite place to be!

I'm shocked that the Montana segment didn't include Glacier National Park. That's stunning natural beauty at its finest.
Glacier N.P in Montana is NOT mentioned, and has stunning natural beauty!❤
I was shocked that wasn't mentioned. It is one of the most beautiful in the whole country. For a video like this, all of the National Parks associated with the state should have been mentioned, even if they weren't suggested by respondents.
1000% ...this was a major miss!! I thought it would be the first & primary focus of Montana
He failed to mention that Glacier National Park is in Montana and that is stunning!!
Glacier National Park is in Montana. And it is absolutely gorgeous. I suggest looking up a few photos of Glacier NP and you'll see why Montana belongs on the list. I visit as often as I can. And I live in Maine so that's a 2,800 mile (4500 km) trip. So not a trip you take if it's only mediocre.
I know, I can't believe the narrator never even mentioned Glacier!
@@heathermackey5714 Same that's probably the best national park out of all of them.
Yes, a small part of Yellowstone National Park is in Montana. However, Glacier National Park is entiely in Montana.
You guys would enjoy “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. It’s from the late 70’s but is really good !
For that "the prairie is beautiful like the ocean" feeling, watch "Dances With Wolves" sometime. The cinematography really captures it.
I live in Oregon and that octagonal building in the Columbia river gorge is called Crown Point. When Mt. St. Helens blew its top my son and I jumped into the car to get to Crown Point. It was nearly due south of the mountain and I will never forget the sight.

What a gorgeous place Oregon is. Breathtaking. And Washington. Mt. Hood, Mt. Saint Helen, Mt. Rainer, Columbia River Gorge, Willamette Valley and the high desert and The Hoh rain forest. I'm tall and I love the Tall trees, Oregon makes me feel small and I love that.
We are blessed here in U.S. to have so many beautiful destinations in which to live and visit. It’s hard choosing 10 from the 50 states
Yes we are. And these lists almost always choose the more well known & dramatic areas. I like less known, less trafficked and less costly places. More relaxing too.

Im from Massachusetts and ik New England has major beauty tbh every state has some place with major beauty and lets not forget beauty is in the eye of the beholder
The US has something for everyone. It really depends on what you prefer. I've driven through most of the state's, and each one has its unique charm. My top 10 changes with my mood, sometimes a New England fall, sometimes a cactus filled desert, sometimes a PNW mountain forest. Watching the sun rise over the South Dakota Badlands is incredible.
Glacier Natoinal Park in Montana has the #2 most scenic drive in the world called Going to the Sun Road. I was shocked the video didn't even show it. It showed Flathead lake but not GNP.
I find beauty in all states. Some states may not be top tier like some of these, but nonetheless it's beauty in them. Great video guys!👍🏾
Yes 👍 I agree
Hi guys, I know it's not a spectacular type of scenery, but the swamps and bayeux of south Louisiana have a great deal of charm. You can rent a small rowboat for a few dollars and paddle through the streams. You're surrounded by cypress trees trailing Spanish moss, palmettos, vines, water hyacinths and more. It has a quite, peaceful, almost meditative quality. Just don't go in the summer when it's hot and humid and the mosquitoes are out!
Pointers for not getting killed by gators and snakes!
@@fbksfrank4 snakes are more likely to be a problem on land, just watch where you step. As for gators, they are primarily ambush predators and are more likely to get you walking next to a body of water, so don't get too close to the edge of a bayou or lake, and of course, don't go swimming in areas where alligators live!
@@randalmayeux8880 water moccasins?
My father was born in Kansas and grew up in Nebraska. He described them both as "miles and miles of miles and miles." Just wheat or corn fields as far as the eye could see. I suspect that played a part in his enlisting in the Air Force at 20; he wanted to see more of the world.
im from illinois . i love the flatlands . lol .
It depends on what part of Kansas. I live in s.e. Kansas. We have tons of trees and hills. In fact we live on one of many hills and had to cut tons of trees just to clear a spot to build our house. Beautiful in the spring everything is green. Beautiful in the fall, color changes. Love my state. P.s. not to mention the peace and quiet. ❤
I think the miles and miles are beautiful, for about an hour.
Old Faithful geyser is in Wyoming portion of Yellowstone. Only a very small portion is in Montana, But, google Glacier National Park in Montana and you’ll see why it’s on the list!
Old Faithful is in Wyoming. I live about 85 miles from Yellowstone. Montana also has Glacier National Park
It seems that no one ever mentions South Carolina but it's a very beautiful place. You have mountains, beaches,forests, lakes, rivers as well as a lot of history and great food from top notch seafood to wonderful barbecue. I know as a native I may be a bit biased but still it is beautiful.
I love South Carolina and would have added it to my top 10, but I would have included North Carolina, Virginia and arizona as well lol
I'm sure it could be in the top 20 or 30, these vids are so limited.
Every state is beautiful. I'm sick of these types of videos excluding most of America as being beautiful
I've lived in Summerville and Goose Creek. You left out another beautiful part of the landscapes...the swamps! I love the critters so I'm a bit biased!
Ian not from South Carolina, but I think it is beautiful too.
As an Arizonan I feel like they missed out on the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona. There’s Lake Powell( which is also in UT) which has Antelope Canyon.
I live in Utah and can confirm. Thing is the diversity is insane. Everyone focuses on the south, which IS stunnjng but so is where I live...up at the top of the state a the base of this mountain range. Salt Lake is RIGHT at the base of the awasatch range. Its what I thought Denver would look like. Skiing is AMAZING...likely hosting the Winter Games again in '34.
Huh?
When he was speaking about Mackinac Island, they actually showed a Ludington, MI lighthouse which is on the west coast. Despite that, I highly recommend a MI visit! It's beautiful!
Yup. I noticed that, too. I understand that the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse (on the mainland across from the island) was made obsolete by the Mackinaw Bridge. Light up the bridge and ships know exactly where they are.
I can't believe they didn't mention Glacier National Park when they talked about Montana. GNP is the gem of Montana.
In the winter in Northern Michigan/Mackinac Island, St Ignace, you can ride a snowmobile back and forth to the island.
Porcupine Mt is gorgeous. Old old old volcano. Lake of The Clouds is there. Sping,summer,fall trip.
Snow closes it in the winter.
Look up Glacier National Park in the northwestern part of Montana. That is the most beautiful park I’ve seen. Most of Yellowstone Park is in Wyoming but Montana claims it too! 😁
Michigan has 2 National Lakeshores that are huge tourist destinations that I'm surprised were not mentioned. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore which is miles of enormous sand dunes along Lake Michigan and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore which are sandstone cliffs along Lake Superior. There is also a National Park in Michigan called Isle Royale. It is an island in Lake Superior. Other big tourist spots for natural beauty are Lake of the Clouds, Tahquamenon Falls, Turnip Rock and Kitch-iti-kipi which is the largest freshwater spring in Michigan. Michigan also has 129 lighthouses and Mackinac Bridge (pronounced Mackinaw). Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge 5 miles long connecting the upper and lower peninsulas. There are much better pictures and videos than the ones he showed for Michigan.
Yes, we do have a beautiful and interesting state.
Absolutely! ❤
James and Millie,
I might be a bit bias, but the Blueridge parkway in Fall/Autumn with the leaves changing turning various colors all over the Appalachian mountains.
Garden of the Gods is an amazingly beautiful place!
The Appalachia Mountain chain begins in Maine and ends way down into Georgia. Here in Tennessee we call them the Smokey Mountains because the look Smokey from a distance. Then some in TN call them Blue Ridge but in NC, KY, VA, SC GA they call them the Blue Ridge Mountains because they do look very blue.
Every state along the Appalachia is gorgeous!!!
Even though I'm from Massachusetts, I have to give a shout out to the wonderful scenery in New Hampshire. Everyone here tends to go to Lincoln or North Conway, NH to get away from the city life for a few days and enjoy the beautiful mountains.
As a former Yellowstone employee, I can tell you that 96% is in Wyoming, 3% in Montana, and 1% in Idaho. You're right Millie that Old Faithful is in the Wyoming part of the park, while Mammoth Hot Springs is in the Montana part. The
Gallatin Canyon drive to West Yellowstone is so beautiful, with Big Sky resort along this drive. If you google Pallisades Falls in Bozeman, you will see the beauty of Hyalite Canyon too!
Montana! Glacier National Park!
As a Juneau, Alaska resident, I can confirm that the cruise industry in Alaska is a great way to see multiple cities and still leave enough to do in each city that future cruises will always have more options than you can possibly get to in a day / week. I think the two of you would really enjoy a cruise in Southeast Alaska where I live. The great thing about cruising is that your "hotel" (ship) is always traveling with you, but don't forget about the option of renting an R.V. (caravan) and spending time at Denali.
Kenai Peninsula here. The Kenai Fjords are also gorgeous, as well as the drive over Thompson Pass into Valdez. There are SO many places in AK that are phenomenal! Everywhere you go, pretty much. The view across Cook Inlet, looking at the Alaska Range, and three of its volcanoes, is simply stunning. It is a joy driving to, and from, work.
You can use the ferry system, save a lot of money, and make your own itinerary.
@@reindeer7752 That is a great option for those in an R.V. or other vehicle and those who may want to spend several days in each location.
@tofersiefken - I flew to Ankorage, rented a car to go to Denali and Talkeetna (for the 4-seater plane ride over Denali), then to Seward for a boat and sea plane excursion, then used the ferry system for the Inside Passage, with several stops, to get back to Seattle. It was a great trip. I can see how an RV would work for a family.
@@reindeer7752 Wow, it sounds like you had a great experience and planned well. I've taken the ferry a number of times between Bellingham, WA and S.E. Alaskan ports. I've traveled camping in the Solarium area, sleeping in the lounges and staying in a cabin. I have to say, the cabin was the way to go, especially on the longer trips. When I travel, I generally want to take my Jeep, so the ferry is perfect for me. Certainly, flying is faster, but I'm retired, and the slower pace of the ferry is relaxing for the three-day trip "down south". The trip to Skagway is much shorter, has great Jeeping opportunities, and is a short distance from the Canadian border.
I believe 20:40 is downtown Telluride, Colorado. Butted up against a mountain, there was only one way in and out. In 1889, Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank, the San Miguel Valley Bank. Great skiing resort now but beautiful year around.
As an Ohioan, I love being near Michigan. It is easy for me to drive north a few hours and be in bliss.
That is Crown point, at one time it was a gift shop and snack shop. The road winds around and drops down to Multnomah Falls. It is a very Twisty section of road with a lot of switch back as it drops down to the bottom of the gorge in a short distance.
The thumbnail image is Going To The Sum mountain. It's about 2 hours from my house in northwest Montana.
Old Faithful is in Wyoming...not Montana. The park barely extends into Montana along its northern and NE boundaries. I was surprised there was no mention of Glacier Nat'l Park in the Montana segment. Perhaps Oregon is down on the list because not many come here and explore. at 16m40s they are showing Vista House on Crown Point in the Gorge. It's not far from Multnomah Falls. Some other great places to check out in Oregon are; Smith Rock State Park (Central Oregon)__Painted Hills (North Central Oregon)__Wallowa Mountains (NE Oregon)__Leslie Gulch (Eastern Oregon)__Rogue and Illinois Rivers (SW Oregon). Anyone can search these online for pics.
Every state has some beautiful areas
The viewing point on the Columbia Gorge in Oregon is called . Crown Point
Silver Lake sand dunes on Lake Michigan, is open to dune buggys, jeeps, quads etc.
Just need a flag and an off-road sticker.
ive said before that utah is well worth seeing. he didnt mention the San Rafael Swell, its just south of my home. and the largest dinosaur bone site is in cleveland ,about 10 miles south.the wasatch mountains are cool to. he said about the amtrak trip through the rockies, i once suggested you take amtrack around the usa, you can stop,rent a car look around an area for a few days,reboard a train and carry on.. here to see the utah parks, stop in salt lake city, no rental cars down here, but you could hit all 5 parks and some beautiful areas that arnt parks, then into new mexico or arizona and catch another train.
UP has bear ,moose, deer , beautiful drive
All the states have incredible beauty!!!
Every state is beautiful
Was surprised that Washington state wasn’t in there. Really should be, with places like North Cascades National Park, Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, Mt. St. Helens, the Columbia River valley, it really is a stunning state.
The Rainier National forest, The Olympic National Forest (the only Rainforest in North America), Cape Disappointment, Diablo Lake, The Blanca Lake Trail, Mt. Baker, The Columbia River Gorge, the gorgeous rolling hills of Palouse, the Long Beach coastline, Lake Chelan, the San Juan Islands, and Mt. St. Helens...just to name a few.
Washington got robbed! It's way more beautiful & diverse than Alaska. Alaska is just, big.
@@impishsongster333 i’ve been to both states, and I couldn’t disagree more. Alaska absolutely, deserves to be that high, if not, higher! If any state should be replaced, it’s Michigan I lived in Alaska for four years, and the most beautiful state I’ve ever seen.
@@darkjedi74 I happily disagree. It deserves to be on the list, but not at #2. The landscape isn't diverse enough to be rated that high on the list. Should have been somewhere in the 5-10 spots. There are definitely states besides California, that deserve to be ahead of Alaska.
@@impishsongster333 I would submit to you that if you don’t think AK is diverse, perhaps you’ve been misinformed about it. It has far and away more variety of geologic and ecologic zones of any state in the nation, by a very wide margin. From towering, majestic mountains and volcanoes, glaciers, tundra and taiga terrain, over 6 million lakes, to rainforests in the southeast. It is far from a land that stereotypes would suggest is all ice and igloos. It is also a land that is teeming with more wildlife than any other state, as man has had far less impact on it. Climate zones within the state vary radically. From moderate and damp year-round in the south east, cold, with heavy snow in the winter in the south Central, while mild in the summertime, yet in the interior, they see the most extreme temperatures between winter and summer of anywhere on earth, seeing temperatures as cold as -80° in the winter, and up to 95° in the summertime. Yeah, still other places, like Turnagain Arm, and the Aleutian Islands see some of the most ferocious sustained winds on earth.
Porcupine Mountains absolutely are a major plus for Michigan. Especially see the Lake of the Clouds.
That Ken Burns documentary is awesome!
Born and raised in California and there's so much more than LA and San Francisco. If you do visit, look into the smaller cities and towns. Definitely look into Mammoth Lakes. It's like Yosemite, but on a smaller scale. More little kid friendly.
Washington is often ignored, but it's a shame, because the beaches on the northeastern part of the state are beautiful. Ruby Beach is a favorite. And the Hoh Rainforest is amazing, and unique. There are multiple mountain peaks, with Mt. Rainier being able to be seen from multiple places.
Feel lucky.. We don't want everyone to know the secrets!!
Native Californian here....California has it all. You can surf in the morning then head to the mountains to get in some skiing in the afternoon. I love my state.
About Wyoming - he was saying that there are geothermal features (like Old Faithful) in Wyoming as well. Guysers, hot springs, etc…
Old Faithful is one of MANY guysers
I just went to Alaska in August- on a cruise. It was awesome. We had to board in Vancouver BC Canada
I’m an American of 42 years old..it wasn’t til the past 10 years that I realized there are so many places!! Some of the most beautiful places aren’t even talked about on a national level..like kept secret
Keep in mind that he said 4000 people voted, and 49 of the 50 states each got votes. States like Kansas got six votes and Nebraska got 13 votes like he said at the beginning, so if you add up the 40 states that didn’t make this list. It is a considerable amount when you add them all together. That is why the vote totals seem low.
Greetings from Colorado guys!! Thank you for all your reaction videos! ✌💛
Hello from Eastern Tennessee.
California, Arizona", Hawaii, Alaska, Michigan....
My top 3, Wyoming, Oregon, Alaska.
28:30 -"Tell me Why" lol
His Montana pics didn’t do it true justice
I would say Hawaii, Utah,and California. I’ve never been to Alaska, but I hope to go one day. Most of the states that I’ve been to have some beautiful areas.
We have been to all 50 states, most more than once, and the train ride from Denali down to Seward is one of the most amazing things we have done.
We loved the Big Island of Hawaii-it is less commercial than some of the others and dining near Kilauea after dark was a highlight.
Love Northern California... too many things to list.
Niagara Falls, New York is a fantastic place to see, but you need to go to both sides to get the full effect.
South Dakota is amazing with many things to enjoy.
And of course Grand Canyon is a must see
The drive through the Appalachian Mountains is breathtaking.
Every state has their own things making the trip worthwhile. I am not sure about mailing outside the states, but most will mail you a travel brochure showing the highlights.
. I am surprised Oklahoma did not get any votes. It is rich in history and has some nice places to explore.
I could go on and on, but every state has things I would go back to see again.
I grew up in Marin County which is what is on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Sandwiched between San Francisco and Napa/Sonoma Valley. I have been to all the places mentioned and more it's amazing!!!!! P.s. I was born in Oklahoma and live there now, and I can say there are beautiful places here..I mean we have wild mustang horses!!! Much love to you guys, my husband and I love your channel! Kisses for Archie! Respect from an Okie born Cali raised woman!
Acadia is beautiful. Montana has Glacier National Park. Should have been mentioned. Absolutely beautiful. Nothing wrong with prairies! The Red Desert of Wyoming is also beautiful. Backpacking in the Porcupine Mountains is great. The Columbia River Gorge is beautiful too. The Great Salt Lake does stink but it’s really cool. Colorado is great too! Haven’t been to Alaska yet. Bucket list stuff. Been to NAPA many times. Lots and lots of other states/places that didn’t make this list. One of my favorites is Washington (state).
Yellowstone National Park is located in three states: Wyoming (mainly 96% by area), Montana, & Idaho.
Colorado is beautiful
We have beauty in every state, in the United States of America, but my home in the Appalachian Mountains is my favorite West Virginia the entire Appalachian region is beautiful 🔥🤟⛪👨👩👧👦🇺🇸💪💯😉
I couldn't agree with you more.
Every state has its own beauty
My sister lived in Seward, on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. We drove all around the Kenai and it was by far the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And then you get to Homer. Please do a video on Homer, Alaska.
I really think North Carolina should have made the list. From the outer banks beaches to the smoky mountains, blueridge mountains and North Carolina is home to the highest point east of the Mississippi River ( mount mitchell ) it’s a beautiful state. Also they missed out by not including arizona too imo
I'm in Utah but I did my 5 grade (1985) state report on North Carolina. Have not been. Yet. Is the average Year round temperature still close to perfect?? If I'm remembering right it was 72(?)°f.
These are biased towards the western states which I can understand because all of the mountains but NC is beautiful and has mountains as well
@@lianabaddley8217that's hilarious 😂😂😂 I can't imagine it was ever that low. It was in the 80s until today. It's not perfect at all, it's HOTTTTT and humid as hell year round. 72 still feels hot, but 72 will only happen a couple weeks of the year. 8 months of 80-100+. And 100 % humidity. It's DISGUSTING. I've lived and traveled most of the southeast and some of the west. Texas, Nevada, Florida... all are more comfortable than most of NC. Especially central and coastal. The mountains are much much nicer weather. In central NC it's in the 80s on Christmas sometimes. Even if it's not that warm, a lot of people especially those with large families eat thanksgiving and Christmas dinner outside. The "winter" is the only comfortable time of year, honestly. Especially if you have any breathing issues like asthma. Or allergies. And winter is only January and February.
Yes exactly ! And add the mystical feeling the smokies gives is amazing.. a peek of biltmore estates would have been ok too. Then add in the outer banks for it’s beautiful beaches and mt Mitchell.. just so much of nc to appreciate ❤ @@rashadwalker8218
@@lavenderoh hmmm. Now I'm gonna have to see if I can find it again. I actually saved it and showed it to my kids just a couple of years ago. My older sister lives in Texas and they come home to visit. Everytime I swear 1 of the nieces/nephews, probably 1 that lives here in Utah will say "Ugh it's soooo Hot outside". Then my sister or 1 of her kids will say, "well. At least it's a Dry Heat." "But at the same time, it is a Very Dry Heat". Lol 🥵 plus at least we do "Get" 4 seasons here even if they sometime switch places every so often. Spring, Winter, Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall, Winter. Lol
Old Faithful is in Wyoming, but for geysers, volcanoes, etc., consider Iceland, which is a much shorter flight for Brits.
I’m 59, I’m going to finish out exploring my home state of Alaska, done 90 percent of roads run, now we fly!
I am a Jersey boy and it pains me to say this, but where was New York? Upstate NY is amazing. One of the most beautiful places. I love the Catskills. Also If it were up me I'd have put NJ at number 10 and I would have put New Hampshire on that list for sure possibly even Vermont.
My family owns a couple hundred acres in upstate New York just outside of Oneonta and it's one of my favorite places to spend time, it's a truly beautiful place.
I agree that Upstate New York is beautiful. I would make it #12 behind Washington state. New York's beauty with The Adirondack Mountains, Catskill Mountains, Finger Lake region, numerous waterfalls and gorges, Niagara Falls, Glens Falls, Letchworth State park which is also known as the "Grand Canyon of the East". Surprisingly, New York has 2,000 waterfalls.
Exactly. These lists hardly ever touch on the Northeast. More biased towards the more commonly recognized (& gorgeous) places. Get off the beaten track. It can be rolling hills, pretty lakes & quaint villages too. Yeah, I know its supposed to be natural areas but little NEng villages are so nice. (South Jersey farmers daughter)
@@datmanydocris Really? Cool. What a great story!
@@kindredspiritbaseballmom7913 Ye. It is beautiful. I could see 12 as a decent spot in the list.
The building on the round curved road in Oregon is the Vista House at Crown Point. It is a viewing area. Stunning view up the Columbia river gorge. Built during the early part of the 1900's as a roadside stop for the old East/West Columbia River Highway there. Still beautiful. And yes, the building has a basement/cellar, but it is nothing too deep or interesting, which takes nothing away from the rest. Lovely place to stop and look.
That’s funny what you called a viewing platform in Oregon in the Columbia River gorge is a place called rooster rock and is basically exactly that… pretty park and stuff. That’s where at sunset my husband told me he loved me for the first time 18 years ago 🙂
lol those SF bridges are naturally beautiful
Nevada Is Seriously Underrated As A Beautiful State!! Lake Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, Pyramid Lake, Valley Of Fire State Park, Washoe Lake State Park, The Truckee River, Lake Mead.
Old Faithful is definitely in Wyoming. Parts touch Montana, Idaho, and maybe Utah.
I live in the Columbia River Gorge. The observation point you talked about was Crown Point
I'm guessing, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Montana, Washington state, Oregon, California, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming.
However, Hawaii, Alaska, Arizona could be in there as well.
Wyoming is the home of Old Faithful, I googled it. I went when I was six years old and I have memories of it, and the park.
Colorado! I live close to Rocky Mountain National Park and it’s an easy drive… just 45 minutes or less from Loveland (40 minutes north of Denver).
What you didn’t hear about is abundant wildlife, friendly people, 300 days of sunshine, lots of award winning breweries and this is a coffee state along with the West Coast.
Best time to be here is late Spring before kids are out of school, and Fall before the end of October. My favourite drive is from Fort Collins 3 hours to Steamboat. (Steamboat has a rodeo in the Summer…google the dates).
Usually this guy is on target, but he got fundamentally confused about Montana vs. Wyoming. Montana has Glacier National Park up near the Canadian border. That's its #1 attraction. Wyoming is primarily known for Yellowstone and Grant Tetons National Parks. 96% of Yellowstone is in Wyoming. Only 3% is in Montana (with 1% in Idaho), and there are no attractions or lodgings within the Montana portion of the park.
I am a minute in to the video. My top 3 are New Hampshire, Michigan (northern) and South Dakota. I have been to 41 of the 50 states
'Old Faithful", is in Wyoming.
Hey Millie, I agree with you about it taking so little of a stage set. I like technology, but it sure is nice to see how they did it back then. I hope all is well.
Beesleys, though CA is beautiful, I wouldn't include Hollywood as one of the eyepoppers. It's a neighborhood in LA that's kind of dumpy nowadays.
At 2:44 is something found on the Navajo Res. right on the AZ/UT line--Monument Valley--absolutely stunning!
Old Faithful is in WY, in the SW quadrant of the park, around 40 mi./64 km. S of the MT state line. There's another national park on the Canadian border, with a twin in Canada, by the name of Glacier. The Canadian version is Waterton Lakes. Side note for no extra charge: MT is almost the same size as Germany.
Re. Mackinac Is., in the winter, because of all the nearby water, they get a ton of snow. Then, because they have no motorized vehicles allowed (except in winter), the kids are taken to school via snowmobile.
In the Oregon section, he mentioned Lewis and Clark, who were commissioned by Pres. Andrew Jackson in 1803 (?) to check out the recently acquired Louisiana Purchase.
Monument Valley is on the Navajo Reservation.
Alaska has 4 seasons like everywhere else. On the winter solstice, the sun doesn't come up in Fairbanks and north, and it can get to 40 below or colder there. However, in the Panhandle, it's very mild on the same day, with much more rain than snow, and Anchorage is about the climate of Minneapolis.
At 29:15 is Manawaiopuna Falls (mah-nah-vie-oh-POO-nah), which was seen in Jurassic Park.
Re. the small number of votes, don't forget that each person in the 4000 voted for 10 states, so most, if not all of them, used up a minimum of 1000 votes.
CA has more national parks than any other state: Lassen Volcanic, Redwood, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Channel Islands, Joshua Tree, Death Valley, and Pinnacles.
Having lived in Alaska for several years, I cannot believe only the Aleutian Islands were mentioned for cruising. The mountains in Anchorage was skipped. The midnight sun in Fairbanks was skipped, oh my god. But I have also lived in Wyoming and loved it, Yellowstone was amazing. I LOVED Yellowstone.
I live in Ohio now and the scenery isn’t on par with some others but you can’t beat the affordability lol. I love it.
Alaska is definitely the prettiest state, though. Also, Arizona wasn’t on here and it’s gorgeous, too. Lol too many states.
ol faithful is in the southwest part of the park about 13-15 miles west of yellowstone lake WY. not in montana.
You have extra consideration for a trip with a little one. I did a three week car trip from Michigan to Montana with a planned 5 day backpack into the mountains when my kids were 4 and 1. But I knew they traveled well and we practiced hiking and camping. And when the mountain we were on caught fire during our dinner we had backup plans. Many kids can't handled the long hours tied into a car seat, many parents might want less planning.
Remember in Alaska in the summer you get as much as 23hours of sunshine & winter (close to Christmas) you get as little as 1 hour of daylight, BUT the Araura Borialis aka Northern Lights 🤔 I dunno when those are best prolly winter😂❤
Won what? 🤔🤞
Washington state is another beautiful gem and Vermont is gorgeous as well
They figured out all 7200 Philippine islands can fit in Colorado. I drove over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado before and reach an elevation of over 14,000 feet above sea level. If you have breathing problems like asthma you probably shouldn't go up that high, you could suffer from apoxia and pass out. It's a super curvy road and has places where you can pull off the road and take in the views.
Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, S. Carolina, California. We live in Oregon (Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge and Pacific Beaches and sand dunes at the beaches!)
Arkansas is so underrated the whole state is a natural park
UP beautiful and ❄️ and lake effect snow
Old Faithful is located in Wyoming! What are the top 10 places to visit, in your country?
Old faithful is in the Wyoming section of Yellowstone, rather far south from the Montana section (close to 60 mi away).
I live about 3 hrs. From Oregon and it is very beautiful
Generally agree with the top ten but would add three not mentioned on the list: Washington, Pennsylvania and Vermont.
People from New Jersey responding with "deez nuts" is the most New Jersey thing imaginable.
I’m biased but I would have to mention the state of Wisconsin. After Michigan it has the 2nd most Great Lakes shoreline. It also has something like 11,000 inland lakes. I live in Milwaukee, a large city on the western shores of Lake Michigan. Within 20 miles from my residence my family has a lake cottage on Waubeesee Lake. It’s a small (129 acres) but deep (80 feet) glacially formed lake but it’s like being in a different world than in the city. It’s my favorite place to be!
