New Mexico doesn't get talked about much but Taos is beautiful
Take your breath away places exist is so many parts in western states whether national park or not.
I just can't get down with anything east of Chicago. There's actually really interesting places in TX too and charming down south but few and far in between out east.
Agree that the west is beautiful, but here's some eastern locations worth seeing;
The VA Piedmont, Middleburg, Monticello, Nelson Co ("Walton's Mountain" area)
Cunningham Falls MD
The Finger Lakes region/Letchworth State Park NY
Vermont in fall
Maine in summer, particularly Acadia National Park and its environs
Assateague National Seashore
Cape Cod National Seashore
Hunting Island, SC
The Florida Keys
