If you could pick only one place...
 

If you could only pick one place to visit in the United States what would you pick and why? This could be a favorite restaurant, the world's largest tin foil ball, a water park, a stretch of road, anything.

If I told you rain monkey....I'd have to kill you.....cause no way would I share that place with thousands.........What's yours, so we can book our next trip!!!! LOL

Although, on the face of it, it's not a bad question, I have to say I love your answer gyppielou!

mahalo!

Right now my favorite place is fairly simple. It's the Carefree Hwy. in Arizona. I like to just drive out there and sit on the side of the road and watch the gorgeous sunsets and watch all the lights in the city come on. It's far enough from Phoenix where you can see the stars clearly.

My favorite place is the one that takes it all away.

Mendocino, California. A slice of heaven on earth. Like going back in time 40 years.

San Francisco!

I would have to pick Multnomah falls area in Oregon. I usually hike this trail that leads you far away from the people and it's so serene and the views just take your breath away.
*Gracie*

Well like Alisa I will pick San Francisco!

The sage and lavender scented air in Big Sur this past July was enough to make me weep. I would go back there in one minute. Oh, and the view. Well, that is to die for.

Yellowstone National Park because this place is amazing. Nature, wildlife, scenery,

Utahtea

Capitol Reef NP in Utah.

asdaven,

You know why I pick Yellowstone over Utah parks...it's because I can't decide which of the 5 National Parks I like best! ;)

Utahtea

yellowstone is a great choice. For me, haven't been to New York City since I was a kid. That's where I'd go...

I'd pick <i>ANYWEHERE</i> but work!!!!

I'd even spend a whole afternoon with Faina than work one hour! :-P

Grand Teton N.P., drive on flat land and see the most amazing mountains with no foothills. Drove there 3 times from Florida ! and can't wait to go again.

2nd choice, Lake Tahoe.

3rd- Canadian Rockies

Had to mention them all , sorry OP

I already live in the most awesome city of New York, so if i have to pick a place that I want to visit, it would be MAUI!

Utahtea- I picked that because I can't decide ether. I just liked it because it was quiet and peaceful without crowds. Yellowstone, Grand Teton,Zion , and Grand Canyon would be other ones I would pick also.

Alone somewhere on the AT in western NC with a spectacular sunset. No one around for MILES. It can only be described as nirvana, in it's purest. You are so right GT, the one that takes it all away.

Christmas Day I will make my annual trip to Cedar Falls in SE Ohio w/my children...&amp; we'll be the only ones there...

Not being lucky in most things, I'm the most lucky in this:

I found my one place. It's on my deck in MI looking at the sun sizzle down into the lake. Right now the full moon shows as if it were day, the thousand distant scarlet, yellow, and orange trees anchored in the marsh above distance green wetlands with the swan families (doubled in number) taking flying lessons in the bright moonlight.

Every season is a different picture but it is my one place.

Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite in early/mid September.

Sitting on a large outcropping of rocks anywhere in New England watching the Atlantic Ocean crash itself down below. Rain or shine - its great either way.

Bennie I would love to know where you prefer. That just sounds breathtaking. I'm going to New England next summer and I know I'd love to see this.

You've obviously been to the Grand Canyon so the next best thing is the tunnel view of Yosemite. Besides, there can't get too many more visitors there even if you go.

As always, San Miguel de Allende, MX.
None better.

Grand Canyon
NYC

Artist's Point in Grand Marais, Minnesota. A rocky, windswept outcropping in Lake Superior best visited with a latte' from the Java Moose and a sketchbook.

Depends on the mood I am in and the shape of my bank account.

Alaska--a feast for the eyes. But I'd like to hear more about that tin foil ball!
