Depends on what I'm in the mood for.

1) city life -- New York city
2) quiet, romantic getaway -- a B&B near a trail
3) wilderness & beauty -- Alaska
4) natural beauty -- California Sierras, or Yellowstone, or Utah
5) day hiking -- Shenandoah

And, as noted above, the time of year makes a BIG difference. Glacier National Park is a great place to go for natural beauty, but I wouldn't go there in February.

Spring: Yosemite to see the waterfalls
Summer: Alaska to see wildlife, wilderness and scenery
Fall: Yellowstone and all the National Parks in Utah because I love the scenery and hiking

Hawaii is the only state I haven't been too, so I'd like to go and it looks like winter time is open!

For a month in the Summer, the Maine Coast.
To eat, drink & listen to music - NOLA
For a driving trip - Western NC Mts.

Since you kindly didn't impose a limit, I'll list several choices, and they're all mainly because I've never been there....

The Southeastern US in the spring.

Alaska in the summer.

The Florida Keys in the winter.

New England in the fall.

I did a trip around LA last year, went down to San diego and up to Santa Clarita. Was one of the best holidays ever! would serious recommend San Diego as a lovely city with plenty to do!

Hawaii, no contest! Because it's the very most exotic and tropical place that is technically part of the U.S.

Shoulder season in Alaska, or Bar Harbor area. I would take a little more cold over crowds. Why - because they both look beautiful. I lived in Hawaii; I prefer the Caribbean, more character and clearer warmer water, though I do miss the seafood.
