With 39.6 million residents across a total area of about 163,696 square miles (423,970 square kilometers), California is the most populous U.S. state and the third-largest by area. The state capital is Sacramento, and the largest city is Los Angeles... read more California has it all, from a long and varied seacoast to beautiful hills and the incredibly dangerous and beautiful Sierras. Add the valleys where wine is grown, and you've got something for everyone. Like Disneyland, it cannot be fully experienced in a brief visit.
California offers amusement parks, beaches, national parks, historical landmarks, cultural centers, and more. Plus, your vacation probably won't be interrupted by bad weather since it's almost always sunny in California.
California has everything! It's the best state ever! You can go surfing and skiing all in the same day!
Hawaii is the 50th and most recent state of the United States of America, receiving statehood on August 21, 1959. Hawaii looks like a beautiful place to live. My sister lived there, and the pictures are so beautiful.
I've never been to Hawaii, but it is definitely on my things-to-do list!
I've been there twice. It's paradise!
Florida is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. Florida is the southeasternmost U.S. state, with the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. The beach, Disney, and Universal Studios make Florida very diverse. The Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Haitian communities there make it unique. In most states, it's mostly one race. For example, Arkansas and Idaho are predominantly white, while Georgia and Maryland have large Black populations. The only truly diverse states are New York, Florida, California, and Massachusetts.
Florida is the best state for beaches and theme parks within the same state. The beaches of Western Florida are soft, sandy, and beautiful. Florida is a peninsula surrounded by beaches with both sunrises and sunsets. Can you get both sunrises and sunsets anywhere else?

With an estimated 19.54 million residents in 2018, it is the fourth most populous state. In order to distinguish the state from the city with the same name, it is... read more New York is the best. We New Yorkers are honest, bold, and helpful. People from all over come to visit NY. I live here, and you wouldn't believe how many tourists I see every day.
The Big Apple is a great place, but for those who want to see the wild side of New York, go to the Adirondacks.
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. With skiing and snowboarding, it's clear that nobody who's been to Colorado would leave it off this list. It should be right behind Hawaii.
Even though Texas is my home state, I think Colorado offers the very best vacations.
Alaska is a U.S. state situated in the northwest extremity of the Americas. The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east; it has a maritime border with Russia to the west across the Bering Strait. I already live in Utah, but Alaska is awesome too.
It's freezing, but great for skiing!
Texas is a state in the Southern USA. It is the second largest by area and population. Its largest city is Houston. I recently visited Houston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Dallas. I can say Texas is definitely the best state to vacation in. It's beautiful and the people there are very friendly. I feel Texas is something to be really proud of.
Texas is an underrated state to visit because of all the stereotypes. The weather is unpredictable in both good and bad ways.
I live here, and I don't want to take a vacation, so yeah...
