Further, I'd be willing to bet that there are many, not just several, places in California that you've never heard of that are easily more scenic than all places East of the Mississippi River combined.


Combined aye? Count me in for seeing all of this in a day over nearly anywhere in California

Utah is better!


Utah is great, as are Colorado, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. However, not being situated on the Pacific is what puts California above those, in my opinion.

So is Washington, Hawaii, Oregon, Alaska.

I'm not understanding your point. I'm just stating that, in my opinion, California is a more scenic place than the Rocky Mountain states due to the Pacific. Obviously, like the Rocky Mountain states, California has mountains, rivers, lakes, and valleys.

Alternatively, the Rocky Mountain states don't have an ocean - especially the Pacific.

Washington and Oregon just don't have quite the diversity as Cali.

Hawaii doesn't have the cold regions, but added tropical/volcanic.

Alaska apparently has some desert landscape, but nothing near as dramatic as Cali.

But Cali doesn't have the arctic, nor the pure epicness of the Alaska mountains.

Alaska is #1, but Cali is easily #2 IMO

CA has volcanic, though not as visually active as HI.

Both have some cool desert regions; however, they aren't like Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Anza-Borrego Desert, and so forth.

I'm sure there are small pockets of all of these in most states

I'm mostly speaking in large areas

California is a really pretty place. Too bad the people are trying their hardest to frick it up.

If it weren't for the fact that you have to make $8 million a year to afford a fricking shack, I'd live there tomorrow.

They are pretty damn close. The only thing missing is the absolute dry of Death Valley and surrounding desert.

Those two states have desert, it's just different.

But then California lacks some diversity you find in those two states as well.

There's at least 7 active volcanoes in CA. Not sure what you mean.

It probably looks better in pics than it does in real life.

I'll just stay home, thank you.
