The list according to USA Today:

1. Red Rock Country (Sedona, Ariz.)

2. Nighttime view from Mount Washington in Pittsburgh

3. The upper Mississippi River

4. Hawaii's Na Pali Coast

5. Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco

6. Grafton, Vt.

7. Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

8. From Key Largo to Key West in Florida

9. Clingmans Dome along the Appalachian Trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

10. The squares of Savannah, Ga

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.

Sedona. Overrated IMHO, but very beautiful.

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?

And Grafton, Vt. is no different from tens of thousands of other New England small towns.

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?

8. From Key Largo to Key West in Florida

Very beautiful here except for the times you have to dodge the weather. I lived in FL for a time as a kid and my memories are beauty/rained twice a day/alligators ;)

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.
