Having visited many times, even having lived there for a while, if I were forced to pick one state I might pick California ... it is a gem and incredibly diverse. Did you know that Redwood National Park is the least visited national park in the US? Fine with me, less crowded, although I hope everyone gets at least one chance to visit in their lifetime. It's my church ... the confluence of ocean, mountain, and a cathedral of giant trees. But I also have to put in an equally good word for the whole Pacific Northwest, starting in Northern California, extending up through Oregon, Washington, and into British Columbia, Canada. It's nothing short of pure magic. The Southwest--Arizona and New Mexico--is magic. And the mountain states--Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado--have their magic, too. Also, let's not forget that bit of paradise we "acquired" ... Hawaii. They don't call it paradise for nothing! -Fred
