Beautiful is a lie, it's filled with dumb people destroying Trump stars because they lost 100 IQ points after changing sides - Maddox121
Obviously California is the most beautiful state on the planet. Always sunny, nice weather and nice place to be.
California is beautiful, but mostly artificially. Los Angeles, Burbank, San Francisco, Redding, and San Diego are just some of the great towns in California. The Golden State is definitely a top contender for the best in the Union, so YAY!
Just go to Venice Beach, the sunset is beautiful there. I even took a picture on my phone. - Pegasister12

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada. It's so great all the Californians are moving up here.
Why and how is California #1 and ahead of oregon
This place is so amazing can t wait to go back
Oregon is the best state in overall majesticnest. From the coast and the dunes to the deserts and mountains. Oregon is epic and think is better than Utah. I feel like this place should have more national parks though. Like here are some invented national parks that I think should be created: Columbia river islands national park, Columbia river estuary national park and Oregon basin national park. To be honest, I think crater lake is not a good national park. The lake is the deepest in the country but it is dead. There are zero native fish to the lake. Not many people visit this national park compared to Zion and Grand Canyon. I think Columbia river islands would be amazing. Like in the Columbia river there are those islands and they should be protected. Well overall Oregon should be number one and it is an amazing state. #columbia river islands national park!

Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States located north of Oregon, west of Idaho, and south of the Canadian province of British Columbia on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is the only state named after a president. Way better than Oregon. Oregon smells like paper factories.
You didn't mention the Olympic mountain range, and beautiful Mount Rainier.
Breath-taking beauty which includes the awe-inspiring green forests, spectacular mountains, the Puget Sound is the home of the mighty Orca whales. The flowers are bountiful, colorful and some aromatic. The national parks, waterfalls, hiking trails all are awesome. We love our
wild life and our pets. Our weather is free from hurricanes, deadly tornadoes and long cold winters. Washington state is gorgeous.
The best forests in the country unparalleled dramatic coastlines the cascade mountains are breathtaking rain forests islands marine mammals nice people too!

5 Montana

Montana is a state in the Western region of the United States. The state's name is derived from the Spanish word montaña. There have lot gracier and mountains and desert and forest! We should make Montana first! How Calfiona is 1st place?!? It is hell place not beauftuil like Montana! Calfoiona should be least!
The most gorgeous US state by FAR. Just search up pictures of Montana. The scenery unbelievable. It's very mountainous and is comprised of many gorgeous lakes and meadows. Also, there's a ton of wildlife such as black bears, bison, bobcats, gray wolves, fox, deer, sheep, and much more. Montana is seriously a dream.
The reason why Montana is not number #1 is because most people are voting for their own state, California looks like hell on Earth, I don't understand how they are first place.
Just about every inch of montana is forest, lakes, or mountains. - Slovenija

Colorado is a state in the United States encompassing most of the Southern Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. Colorado should be #1 on every list. It's like California, Montana, Utah and Oregon combined, but better.
With so much to offer to anyone who wishes to explore, Colorado is the most diverse state when it comes to landscapes. There is no reason why it shouldn't be #1 on every list.
The most beautiful state is for sure Colorado
California is always the same and just gets boring. I went to Colorado on vacation and I am never leaving

9 Florida
It's way too humid sometimes, old slow drivers rule the roads, and it has bipolar weather.
BUT it has such gorgeous beaches, the sand is white, the water is blue, the night life is stunning, the lights are bright, the music pumps to the rhythm of your heart, you feel the breeze and the sun hit you most of the day, it's just such gorgeous scenery. So much variety.
Florida > New York/Massachusetts

This state has to be explored off the beaten path to fully appreciate.
The Grand Teton National park is the most beautiful place I have ever seen
Most of this state is bland. The only beautiful part of the state is the northwest corner.

Why is Michigan placed so low? It's definitely one of the most beautiful states-- the prettiest I've seen and lived in.

We have beautiful lakes, beaches, historical forts, pine trees, sand dunes, ski resorts, definitive seasons, caves to explore, beautiful forests where deer run free, as well as awesome orchards and vineyards, to name a few,
