All very nice, I'm sure. I have to go with the Methow Valley in north-central Washington State as #1.
Very nice. No construction, no people, nothing but beautiful landscape.
PING a ling
I agree that Sedona is beautiful, and I especially agree with Jenny Lake in Wyoming. But c'mon Pittsburgh? The other places listed are pretty but not top ten. Where's the San Juan mountain area of Colorado (Telluride, Silverton, Durango)? Canyonlands of Utah? Cascades in Washington? Yosemite?

I'm going to Sedona next month...we'll see. How did they leave Yosemite Valley, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, and Catalina Island off the list?
Isn't Sedona a lesbian destination spot?
What, New Jersey didn't make the list? We have the best chemical refinery tours going!!
The most beautiful spot on earth is.....FreeRepublic!
{do they call this kissing-up?}
Sedona is beautiful...Oak Creek Canyon... Slide Rock. It is a genuine oasis in the middle of nowhere. If there are any Freeper RV'ers, the Ranch Sedona RV park was a great place along the Oak Creek (although I don't know if any damage was done after the last rain). Check with them to make sure. :)
Also very southwestern "artsy". Smaller experience than Scottsdale (which is great too), although Sedona's Oak Creek Canyon has a beautiful treeline among the creek. If you like Kokopelli's (sp?) and the like, and don't mind taking a drive in your RV, I enjoyed it. My Sedona trip has decorated my yard and house. My husband and I only planned to stay for 2 nights...turned into 5.
I just love America. There is so much to see.
