The road from Montana through southern Idaho and Pocatello into Utah goes through a volcanic outflow or something, so that the road is sided by volcanic walls for mile after mile.
We climbed one of the largest sand dune in NA, between Twin Falls and Sun Valley, near Craters of the Moon Park. At Craters of the Moon, there are caves in the lava beds that are floored with ice, when the temp outside is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We still have some chunks of lava that we spirited away from there.
Northern Idaho, the Panhandle: some strange people live up there.

Indiana. I'm sorry, but while Gary can be beautiful in a post-apocalyptic way, it's pretty horrifying. There's a reason truckers call it "Bad breath." And that's unquestionably the high point of the state. The rest of it is just... flat. And Republican to the teeth.
The Dakotas and Utah have natural splendor. The Old Dominion states may be backasswards, but at least they have some culture (Louisiana and Mississippi gave us the blues and jazz, and Alabama gave us... Well, "Sweet Home Alabama."). Texas has Austin, Molly Ivins and some cool border culture. But Indiana has... corn. Just a lot of corn. Maybe some wheat and soybeans, idunno. And a few good truck stops. That's it.

You should get off I-80 if you want to see beautiful scenery. They planted that sucker on the flattest, greyest part of the state. We've even found other topics of conversation since crop prices went down and the football team is having yet another "building" year.

My nominee for 'worst state' would have to be Missouri. If you say it correctly it even sounds like "misery". In the southern half of Missouri I don't think I've ever seen an actual house there... it was all single-wides and for the rich hog farmers ... double-wides.
And Jeff City has to be the Bermuda Triangle of the midwest. Every single time I've been there, I've gotten lost. I even got pulled over by the cops there simply for them to ask "You lost?"
Good thing it wasn't a Kansas City, MO cop. Those fuckers have neither mercy nor humanity.

Indiana's a beautiful state, although Gary is a blighted hole. I especially like it in the south, along the Ohio River, across from Louisville.

I can sort of see why Nebraskans might hate Missouri, though, Nebraska is like Missouri, but without the trees.

I relate more to prairie hicks, what with being one myself, but I was pretty impressed with that big river they have there in St. Louis.
I reckon most Americans would answer 'New Jersey' to this question, because they only see the wasteland along I78 on the way to New York City. But most of Jersey is in fact very beautiful. Although its three major cities (Trenton, Newark and Camden) are genuinely horrible. Especially Camden. I was there last week. And of course Atlantic City is a strange place.

Ohio. I could find redeeming aspects for each of the listed states - I cannot think of any reason the visit Ohio ever again. Imagine Pripyat next to Cherynobl, but with more people and less culture.Mile after MIle of trailers and unplanned housing that seem to be made primarily from household waste and asbestos sheeting. A place where a baseball cap advertising a brand of chainsaw or replacement mufflers is regarded as high fashion.

I have cousins in Ohio. Don't think I'll ever bother going there to visit them after reading this.
I have another cousin on Midway Island and the rest live in Aurora, Denver. Anyone know what Aurora's like?

Texas - only ever driven through it once, but it gave me the creeps.
They also are right on the gulf (bad weather) and have really big cockroaches (according to some of my friends - i'll pass on checking out the validity of there claims).

North Dakota is a great place, although winter would be cold and dark, but it is sandwiched between two great states (Montana and Minnesota) so if you were bored with ND you could go east or west and enjoy yourself. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is beautiful, I've hiked in the southern section and done a little mountain biking nearby and it is wonderful. The landscape is exciting. Admittedly the rest of the state is a large field but Bismarck and Fargo are small enough to negotiate but large enough to have things you need (and things you don't which is often a more important quality). I'll admit that if you've never visited ND doesn't look promising but try it someday.
Worst state? Not sure, only been to a few. I was shocked by California's poverty and crowded landscape. I suppose one of the lower plains states may be a bit bleak, I need mountains to hand.

Mississippi is my state, born & raised...I'll talk it up to anyone. I love Louisiana as well, especially southern Louisiana.
I'd have to say that my least favorite is probably Kentucky...I have some family there, so I had to go there a good bit as a kid...There is nothing there; boring as hell...Or Arkansas, but that's only because everyone hates Arkansas and its people.
