6.Washington

The state of Washington in the Pacific Northwest spans an area of 71,362 square miles. Its many magnificent sights earn it a slot on this current list of beautiful states. Sure, there are lots of things to see in such cities as Seattle, but there is natural beauty to be found here as well.

The state’s north-central region is arguably dominated by the North Cascades which are quite dramatic in appearance alone. Discover the forests, gleaming ice, stark rocks, and rugged peaks. Explore the North Cascades National Park.

One of the state’s most famous attractions is majestic Mt. Rainier. It includes the highest quantity of glaciers of all the mountains located in the contiguous US. It also has verdant forests, rushing rivers, and wildflower meadows as well.

7.Colorado

Experience that famous “Rocky Mountain High” amidst the natural beauty and picturesque landscapes of Colorado. While the mountains here really are inspiring, visitors can find awe-inspiring beauty almost anywhere in Colorado. In addition to the massive mountains, the popular Great Sand Dunes National Park offers exceptional examples of the state’s pretty desert landscapes.  

Get a contrasting view of the desert sand dunes here, by visiting gorgeous Glenwood Springs. Don’t leave here without checking out the wonderful mineral hot springs either! They are the world’s largest, with two different pools right there.
