18New Mexico

New Mexico in the Southwestern US may be called the Land of Enchantment, but it is not really considered a big tourist destination. Still, it slots in on the list of the top 20 most beautiful states in the USA. It is one of the “Mountain States” of the well-known southern Rocky Mountains.

New Mexico is also famous for being one of the Four Corners states. It shares that honor with the states of Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. New Mexico has a total area of 121,591 square miles and some of its scenery has been seen in the hit TV program “Breaking Bad”, contrasting its beauty and intrigue with its lesser-known status.

This is a great place to include on road trips because it comes complete with an arid desert, magnificent mountains, and winding canyons as well. Be sure to stop to explore the White Sands National Park, which features undulating white sand dunes that some experts say are much more beautiful than other local deserts. For a moment’s peace and relaxation, there is the steamy San Antonio Hot Spring. You should also check out the numerous natural rock formations, and the cave dwellings that reportedly harken back to mankind’s early days.

19.Virginia

This striking state is nestled in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US, between the enormous Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic Coast. Spanning an area of 42,774.2 square miles, this state’s picture-perfect hills and sandy beaches are outshined only by its noteworthy vineyards. Both the manmade and natural scenery here is both stunning and terribly underrated.

If you especially enjoy going green, be sure to hike or even drive through popular Shenandoah National Park. Enjoy the distinctive flora and fauna. Plan your visit to the park at the right time and you may also be able to attend the six-day Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester which includes parades and live bluegrass music.

Other festivals of interest include the Virginia State Fair and the Neptune Festival in September. If you like air shows and boat racing, visit in June and enjoy Norfolk’s Harborfest. Don’t forget the Famous Virginia Lake Festival in Clarksville in July either!
