Jackson hole
Boulder
Park city
Sun valley
Tahoe
Palm Springs
Bozeman

everything above except for Palm Springs. I'm originally from SoCal.

If you are from the east coast. you are used to forest, hills, topography. So, if you want to see something different, go for places like Tahoe, Santa Fe. If you go to Las Vegas, go to Brice Canyon. I don't personally like LV (been there several times), but I think it's worth going just once. There are forests in the east coast, but there's nothing like the Redwood forest in NorCal. Also, Yosemite.

I would also love to see Savannah and New Orleans for the food.

I grew up in San Francisco. Do not go there.

Democrats destroyed my city. It is a dangerous sh!t hole and I literally mean: the homeless sh!t on the streets so much, the city stinks all over.

I feel sorry for the homeless; everyone should. But the San Francisco homeless are mean, aggressive, and dangerous. We don’t use the word homeless out there; the unhoused people are transients. Seriously don’t go to San Francisco.

Turn off the FOX News, grandpa.

Grand Tetons and the national parks in Utah, grand canyon, santa fe, New Orleans, Chicago.

The mid Atlantic to northeast is the best part of America and it’s not close, no need to waste time and money seeing all the inferior parts. Sorry not sorry

I don’t totally disagree. But the cities in the west are the worst we have to offer (I live in the west). Avoid the cities. It’s our mountain and beach towns, national parks, and forests where we really shine.

I'm the exact opposite.

Having lived on East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, and South, I go out of my way to avoid the East Coast cities.

Utterly unpleasant places, except for the food. And I can get the same or better in LA or SF.

YMMV.

What is exactly is wrong with you that you try to make every.single.thread about your RW politics? Do you know what RWNJ means?

I don't think that you appear as "refined" as you think you do.

Hahah. True. What a moron.

Agree with Santa Fe -- it's beautiful. But you probably need to rent a car to see the cool stuff as downtown is essentially high-priced art stores.

Chicago has a lot of interesting things to see: museums, aquarium, etc.

National parks? Four corners area parks (Colorado, Utah, NM, and AZ).

Montreal or Quebec.

Really??? How???

I encourage you to visit DC—noting the Smithsonian museums, library of Congress, zoo, monuments, etc. are FREE. Head to Annapolis, MD for a historic port city and state capital to eat crabs.

Everyone should visit NYC around Christmas as well as during spring or autumn.

Charleston and Boston are filled with history and both cities have excellent food. Ditto for New Orleans. You can head to the beach from Charleston and Boston.

Colonial Williamsburg is a must. Great vacation with kids (with nearby Busch gardens).

Never been to Florida??? Really??? So many beach towns each with a different vibe. Disney?

I've been to Florida, but don't really consider that the east coast, per se. In fact, we own a condo on the gulf side.
I WOULD like to go and visit those areas you've mentioned but I tend to stay here in the summer (the only time the weather is nice) and if we travel in the winter, its to a warmer climate.
I'll get there some day.

I mean, Florida beaches form a decent chunk of the east coast…literally ;0)

Where are you in the Midwest that you haven’t ventured to major east coast cities?
