Most Scenic Western State in The contiguous United States?

Anything other than California is a joke. There's a lot of cultural stuff to shit on there but the fact everything in California is in one state is straight up lunacy. One of the coolest things to me is that you have maybe the world's most famous city which is just fucking gigantic - LA County has millions more people than all of Washington and a massive portion of California is some of the most rural places in the world it feels like.

Listen here @CallMeBigErn you bonio - Vanilla only give us 10 spots, so 2 states are getting left out.
Nevada is the most obvious one to not make the cut. Yes, there are few stunning mountainous areas- i.e., Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, etc. The Ruby Mts are some of the best heli skiiing on Earth. But most of it is barren wasteland good for mining and blowing up nukes. GTFO outta here with the playas! That's for Burning Man Freaks like @UW_Doog_Bot .
New Mexico is a little trickier. It's got some beautiful mountains, but is it really beating out CO, WY, MT, etc in this regard? No. As far a Southwest scenery goes, it's not beating out AZ or UT.
I think I got this pole 100% right, pod.

The homerism for Washington in these types of polls always cracks my up.
I mean WA is one of the most scenic states in the country no doubt but it ain't no CA.
Tahoe » Chelan
Redwoods » Hoh Rain Forest
Big Sur » @creepycoug and the Harb
Yosemite » N. Cascades or Olympics

I’m gonna guess Yella is the leader on how many of these states have lived in with 4.
I can claim 3: WA, CO, AZ

The true measure is how many states has one had sex in.
Need to get me some WYO and NM strange.
-
California
I can claim sex in the following states:
WA, OR, CA, ID, MT, WY, UT, NV, and AZ.
I've never been to NM with a woman and I got cock-blocked by some lesbos in CO once.

Vanilla saved your ass but my protest remains active.

I also have a Mea Culpa @CallMeBigErn appears I Bryan Kelly'd the pole with CO twice.
Oh, well, wasn't gonna change the outcome. "Perfection, is the enemy of good" is my motto.

Washington
I'm probably just a homer. The Rockies and associated ranges make for some high elevation scenery that Washington can't quite match, even in the northern Cascades. They don't have an ocean there though and everything turns to shit fast on the east side of the Rockies

When I think of a place where all the beauty comes together I always think of Bakersfield. Stockton a close second.

Moses Lake is a lovely town as well.

I'm partial to Ephrata if I'm picking desert shitholes in WA. Unlimited cutthroat up to 10lbs on fly gear. It's an ugly, crowded lake and the fish fight like boots, but they're easy to catch.

I drove by all them saltwater cutts on my way to Dry Falls Lake many a time. Never stopped to fish for them.
Dry Falls is scenic its own way.
Biggest rainbows I've ever caught in WA were in Nunnally Lake. Alas, fishing 15' leaders with chironomids (don't care about spelling) is for fags. Yawn!

Modesto would like a word.

@BearsWiin deserves our respeck and admiration for escaping Modesto to Aptos!
My kinfolk come from Turlock, CA, which ranks up there in the shithole power rankings.

Oh lord stuck in Lodi again
The family roadster spent the night in Lodi when I was a youth going to Disneyland for the first time. Before the song but once I heard it I always smiled
That was on the 99. I actually lived through the construction completion of the 5.

That central corridor of California is some of the shittiest country in the country, and at least just on the west coast. The thing is though that if you hang a left you're soon at some of the coolest coastline in the world and if you hang a right you're going into high desert sierras and Yosemite. If you could make California better culturally it's killer and must have been awesome to be there back in the glory days. I will say though that Washington has no shit to stand on for claiming better culture than California as a whole.

When you factor together rock and cuntry, it's remarkable how much California kicks the shit out of every other state in the US for music history.
Only England wins overall.

In fairness to shitty WA culture, it's half made up of retards from California.

We? are a force that can't be stopped. I've personally ruined Park City and Bend. @PurpleThrobber and @EsophagealFeces lost the Battle of Vantage to Kalifags years ago.

Washington should have run a campaign in California years ago for those looking to move north years that read "Give us your Van Halen groupies, your Metallica maniacs, even your Beach Boy bums. But the Deadheads can go fuck off."
-
California
Deadheads suck in a lot of ways. Still the greatest American rock group off all time (in my sick a twisted mind).

The battle will be fought on the Spokane River just west of Post Falls. Cabelas is a massive munitions arsenal with Black Sheep Sporting Goods a few miles away.

Nah. Too many Kalifags in your rears already. Plus the Bitteroot Valley Kalifags will march over Lookout Pass and hit you from behind when you try to make a last stand in Wallace.
Nope. You're done for, boss.

Weird shit, a buddy of mine just left today to drive to a wedding. A wedding in Turlock. I question the choices this bride and groom have made.

Don’t forget Visalia…almost got killed by a bunch of cowboys just trying to get a beer and a burger
-
It took a battalion of ATF agents to drag one guy out of a cabin in N Idaho
Couple hundred thousand people in Kootenai,Shoshone and Bonner County can definitely fend off Kalifags. -

Getting back to the point, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't travel much and have only been to half these states, but I'm a trees and water and islands guysm. Probably because that's what I've spent most of my life around. I don't find deserts beautiful, and beaches are only nice if they're not lined with condos. Every tim I go somewhere else, I come back home, pedal up Galbraith from my house, look out over the San Juans, and say, "Yeah, this wins." I mean, hell, I can't even do a dump run without being blasted in the face by a full shot of Baker.
California has beaches, and I go there for vacation for that reason, but I wouldn't call that beautiful because they're overpopulated. Just flying into Seattle vs. Los Angeles is a huge contrast. Seattle from the sky is lakes and green islands and bridges, LA is slab.
Maybe California would win if 40 million people were jammed all up in most of the more scenic spots, but they are, so it is what it is.
And I'm a homer.
