I love the beauty of mountains, lakes and ocean. I love being near water. My family in California goes back to the Spanish land grants, before we were a state.  So, I love it here. Where I live it's 35 mins to the ocean, a few miles to the lakes, a couple hours to the Sierras, and several hours to desert.  I love the scenery of all. But in photos here, the mountain scenery enlivens my senses the most. But, the desert and red rocks are gorgeous as well

I love anywhere along the Central Coast area of California, where you see the ocean to the west and the mountains to the east.

Yosemite in spring, especially Tualome  meadows is breathtaking

@Kachina624   My sons have been traveling past two weeks from where we live on the East Coast, across country and into Canada.  The pictures alone, that they have sent have taken my breath away...North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon,  omg the scenery and mountains give me goosies - up into Canada to see the Canadian Rockies and glacial turquoise colored lakes, waterfalls -  Yosemite, Yellowstone - they have packed so much into this trip. They told me the mountains are almost unbelievable.  My one son has a van and they have traveled  hippie style and are loving it.  I don't know how they are going to be able to go back to work.  They have one week to travel back but they won't stop as much.  

I love that they have the wanderlust and they are like my dad as he had it too 💜

edited to add that they also went to Red Rocks...with final stop as LA

@bmorechick.  What a wonderful experience for your boys! The trip was money well spent.  They got to see new territory and have memories to last a lifetime.

I've make two trips to Banff  National Park in Alberta and can confirm that it's absolutely spectacular but so are our American Rocky Mts.

So much to see in our country.

Many buildings in Cape May.  Especially the World War II lookout tower and the Cape May lighthouse.

I've been to many states, and many places around the world, but I love the flower gardens and trees in my own back yard the most!

As Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz said, "There's no place like home!"

@september  oh my YES!!  The coastal area from Oregon to San Diego is a feast for the eyes.  Iam especially fond of a few miles along the PCH where the coast is clearly visible.  Coming into Ventura, Malibu, etc.  And the area on Hiway 1, from Davenport to Big Sur.   Every month of the year it has different colors. Then a total change of the coast is the sight going north on the Highway 1.  That area is a rockier cliffs, more violent water, crashing waves. Another great site for senses.

@Kachina624   Yes well worth it for sure...they are 29, 35 and 40 so Young enough to totally enjoy and old enough to have some sense (fingers crossed on that one)

Maine, followed by Cape Cod on the east coast.  New Mexico on the west coast.
