4.Hawaii

most beautiful

Hawaii, the 50th state, is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean roughly 2,000 from the mainland. It offers travelers the opportunity to see stunning attractions that cannot be found anywhere else in the country. Hawaii is highlighted by diverse scenery and a surprising variety of both flora and fauna.

History buffs won’t want to miss Pearl Harbor. Indeed, this lagoon harbor is of significant import and a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial, while somewhat sobering, will provide visitors with an education that anyone can appreciate. Regular readers recall there are many other highlights here as well.  

They include such places as Haleakala National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and the popular Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. Kilauea, Mauna Kea, and Mauna Loa reportedly draw an impressive number of travelers each year thanks to both their uniqueness and the surrounding landscape around these mountains and volcanoes.

5.Utah

most beautiful

Utah makes the list of most beautiful states for its striking natural beauty and rustic charm. Indeed, there are several examples of this natural beauty including Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and even the rugged Rocky Mountain Basin and its inimitable geological wonders. There’s also the breathtaking Rainbow Bridge. Sources confirm that this is actually the largest natural bridge crossing lovely Lake Powell.  

(It’s also quite Instagrammable!) The Wave is another natural phenomenon of note. It is a striking canyon that includes wave marks along its edges. It spans southern Utah and Northern Arizona.
