Skip the intro and go straight to the articles in this section

America is a feast for the eyes. Travelers from near and far flock here to savor scenery as magnificent as any on earth. Don’t you want to see it all firsthand?

The alpine splendors of the Rocky Mountains stretch from Alaska to Mexico, encompassing icy peaks and glacial lakes in Montana, glistening streams in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, and flower-filled meadows in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo range. Hawaii’s blue waters and green-ridged volcanic slopes lie a full 5,200 miles from the languid lagoons and coconut palms of Florida’s southern tip.

Each state possesses its own kind of beauty, often surprisingly diverse. Tennesseans claim theirs could better be called three states: East Tennessee, where the Great Smoky Mountains predominate; pastoral Middle Tennessee, with its elegant horse farms; and, on the bluffs of the mighty Mississippi, West Tennessee and its fertile farmland. Idaho, for another example, changes abruptly from lofty mountains to prairie, from woodland to desert. And in addition to the broad panoramas of mountain and plain there is hidden beauty everywhere: shaded lanes and old millponds, mysterious bayous and sunlit gardens, natural bridges and secluded glades.
