Ditto on the Rockies and the West. Unlike that that guy who posts that he visits hundreds of countries, I think many of us have come to realize that the greatest, most beatifule travel experiences in the world are right here in our backyard. Nothing compares to the natural and wild beauty of Western North America.
I traveled abroad when I was younger. Now that I'm older (in my 30's) I have zero desire to leave the country again. There's so many mind blowing places to see in our 50 states that I can't find a reason to put with all the hassle & headaches of traveling outside the country. You're right. It's hard for anywhere in the world to beat Colorado, Hawaii, or Alaska.
