I recently took a 4 month roadtrip around the US. The sights I saw were unbelievable and I’ve never said “wow” as much as in the US. My trip was concentrated in nature/national parks and wilderness and some places brought tears to my eyes.
I’ve been to the countries in question before but for a short time (2-4 days) and saw some main highlights but I was never wowed by anything to the same degree.
I constantly try to tell people how beautiful the US is but it’s like nobody believes me and those other countries are always the popular countries when it comes to “beauty.” People even say the natural beauty there BURY the natural beauty in the US and I just can’t believe it! Heck even defending the US gets me downvoted.
Is there really a country with place more beautiful than the combined beauty of Glacier/going to the sun, Mt Rainier, the hikes in Washington, the oregon coast, Colorado, sequoia, fall in New England, the views in Alaska, scenic views of Blue ridge parkway, I can continue lol and I’ve only seen 10 States so far!
The US is amazingly geographically diverse and has some of the best mountains, beaches, forests, foliage, canyons, glaciers, deserts, and everything in between.
It’s possible that many people find Switzerland’s mountains more beautiful than those in the United States, but that comes down to personal taste. Glacier Nat’l Park rivals Switzerland in my book, though I do really love Swiss alpine architecture. And many may find Norway’s fjords more stunning, and NZ… etc.
All that to say—people will always have their favorite “this” or “that”. But where the US shines is having the broadest range of ecosystems to offer, which easily makes it one of the most beautiful countries I’ve visited.
