[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree- I prefer traveling abroad just to get out of here for the culture, food etc but I do think the US has incredible diversity.

Some favorites

Pacific Northwest
Moab Utah
Telluride and Crested Butte Colorado 
NYC 
Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard 
Big Sur, Carmel 
Montana
the South, gorgeous trees and bayous

I prefer traveling abroad and would vote for it for beauty because I am not a fan of driving really long distances and staying at crappy hotels to commune with our most beautiful locations.

Yes objectively the US probably should win. But unless you have a camper van and don’t mind traveling that way these are all separate trips with LONG drives or else flights in between and many spots are both pricy and not great in terms on lodging options when you are there (as in the national parks out west). In Europe the beauty is much closer by plus nice lodging is more available. [/quote]

I'm typing this from my home in the Cascade foothills around 30 minutes from downtown Seattle. It's incredibly beautiful here, but I agree that you shouldn't come here, because it sounds like what you want is not to experience nature or "commune" with it, as you put it, but just to look at a conveniently placed view of nature while you dine or go to the spa. Your approach to nature is more as a commodity to be consumed, and those types are mostly unprepared and have no business in the wilderness. We don't need more hikers to go missing and require air lifting, or die from harassing our mountain goats. [/quote]
