I've traveled to many of our 50 states and seen so much beauty in my own country. The most awe-inspiring of all, though, has been Wyoming. Magnificent mountains, hot mineral pools, rivers...just so much beauty! I have also loved Las Vegas, both city and countryside, and The Badlands. I could only imagine as I looked at them how hard it must have been for pioneers to cross them in covered wagons.

Of all the places you've been, which have struck you as the most beautiful, and why?

the best place i see the best scenario was Philippines. I love nature and the Island in Philippines made me feel calm.

I think the tropics must be beautiful, though I've never visited such a place yet. But I can picture the blue seas and the palms and white sand. Thank you for your input.

Hi Karen I just cant decide on one place only. lol.
I loved the south of the UK its so beautiful and I have been there several times now.

Israel is also great, was there about 22 years ago, its lovely to see the Sea of Galilee where Jesus preached and the Dead Sea and the Negev desert, all these historical biblical places, the Jordan river too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (17650)   ranked 3 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I think Israel is really scenic. I will never forget the amazing view at dawn from Mount Masada. I loved seeing and floating in the Dead Sea. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (16793)  3 years ago

yes the Dead Sea is an incredible place. I loved Jerusalem and also took walks there without the group and it was so nice

Hello Book...these sound like beautiful places indeed. I have so many countries and sites I'd love to visit yet. Maybe someday. Thank you for responding :)

Hi Maxi...I love sunrises and sunsets both, so I can imagine the beauty you describe. I've heard the Dead Sea is extra salty and makes floating easy. I'm glad you got to have such an experience. :)

Karen

Floating in the Dead Sea was quite an experience for me. You can't sink, even if you want to! Even heaped up stones on my stomach, to no avail. In other waters I sink very easily. In a swimming pool, if I don't swim actively, I'll sink to the bottom in a matter of seconds.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I have heard such stories, because of all the salt in the Dead Sea...how interesting! :)

The most beautiful country that I have been to is New Zealand. It is a small country that is unspoilt and it has varied scenery. It is famous for its splendid walking trails. I have walked the Abel Tasman and the Queen Charlotte walkways. Wow! I took so many photos of the lovely scenery. There are beaches, forest, mountains and glaciers to see.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

It sounds truly heavenly! I love to walk places, would love an experience like that. Each country has its own beauty. Perhaps you'll post some of the pictures?

I am a bit of a mountain freak, so .... In Europe, the Alps (go to Interlaken in Switzerland - you get some great views). In North America, the Rockies (I was on a Greyhound bus from San Francisco to Chicago (!) years ago, which went through the Rockies - amazing). In Asia, no mountains that I saw, but there is a lot of fascinating tropical flora in Thailand that is well worth seeing, for example. And if you want scenic views in a city anywhere in the world, try Oslo in Norway.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I also love mountains, and have been fortunate to see the main ranges in the US, but would love to see the Alps someday. What great experiences you've had! Thank you for telling about them.

Hi Karen....I would have to say that I have 2 places that I think are beautiful.

The first place is one that you mentioned and that is Las Vegas. I have been there several times and it is the only place I know where you can see so much of the world in one city. The pyramids of Eqypt,Brooklyn Bridge,Statute of Liberty,Eifel Tower and take a Gondola ride. It is a city of beautiful lights and I don't think you can ever get tired of going there.

The other place that I think is very beautiful is The Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. If there were ever a place that you could feel close to God it would be there. Sometimes you feel like you can just reach out and pull a cloud in the car with you. We were fortunate to be able to see quite a few of the locals as we were traveling through also and that is the Black Bear....LOL

This is just 2 of the beautiful places we have here in the USA.

I have only been to Las Vegas once, but in those 5 days, I saw so very much inside the city and also the red rocks outside city limits. I also love the Great Smokies, like being amongst something heavenly! Thank you for sharing those experiences.

Oh Red Rock Canyon is just beautiful and the day we were there we also got to see a herd of wild horses and burros.
The horses were so atately and didn't hace a care in the world. It was really something to see them roaming free.

myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I didn't get to see the horses, but I enjoyed the artwork the Indians left on those rocks many years ago :D

Wow, sounds like you've seen it all. What are the hot mineral pools like? Can you swim in them? I've only been to several states. Wisconsin to Florida, and Ohio. But was born in Oklahoma, that's about it. I'd say Florida, the big open ocean, sand, and just the waves nearby.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

I've never been to FL, but hope to see it someday. The hot mineral springs are beautiful! The ones I saw didn't allow swimming, but the minerals make beautiful and separate designs in the water, for instance, The Morning Glory springs. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing your own experiences :)

In my own country, the Eastern Cape in South Africa. The mountains and the fauna and flaura is magnificant there.

Africa is one of the places I dream of visiting sometime. In pictures and movies, it is so beautiful, so vast! Thank you for responding.

Wyoming was awe inspiring for it's vastness; I felt so tiny under such a vast and imposing sky...Utah was magnificent and so was Arizona, Nevada and I will always have a deep and abiding love for New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia is where my heart is, but the most beautiful place I've ever been hands down is Washington State, followed closely by Oregon...

I agree with all of those wonderful places you've described. I've not been to the northwest yet, but have seen such beautiful pictures of it. I've been to 35 states and hope to see the ones I've missed yet in my lifetime. Thank you for all the links.

Karen


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  3 years ago

I've been to 32 states...I've yet to get down to LA or Maine or Vermont and those are on the top of my list to visit.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

You will love Vermont and Maine...mountains and rolling green hills. Extraordinary in the fall!

I've been to many countries in my past 20 years of travel, and to my memory, the countries with the best scenery are Switzerland and New Zealand. Both countries have the Alps, snow-capped mountains, lakes and forests that form a beautiful backdrop for photographs. I've been up to several mountains in Switzerland by cable-car, and the scenery one gets from up there is awesome and indescribable... so beautiful it is beyond words. I can only stare in awe at the surrounding mountain peaks, and the beautiful valleys below.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

These both sound like awe-inspiring places. Some of the things in nature do just leave one speechless with their beauty! Thank you for sharing your favorites.

I have travelled in Europe, Britain, Africa, parts of Asia, some of the Pacoific Islands, New Zealand...always with a camera in hand.

Scotland's west coast, Lochs and islands could have been made by Kodak: they are simply glorious!! The ruggedness of the New Zealand Alps and glaciers is breathtaking; the lushness of the Philippines will always stay with me, as will some of its grand waterfalls.

But to travel the Outback of Australia matches or exceeds everything I have ever seen.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 119 out of 5,013 in travel  3 years ago

Wow, you have been to so many exciting and foreign places. What an experience! And yes, a camera is a must. I would love to go to Australia someday. Both the outback and the greener mountainous area are so beautiful in the movies. :)
