Washington, known as the Evergreen State, takes top spot on the list. The picturesque state has an astounding 3,132 waterfalls, the most out of any state in the US. Whilst the state’s western side is mountainous, the eastern parts have wildly different climates with arid deserts and semiarid steppe. 

In second place, with a beauty score of 8.64, is California. Despite being densely populated, the state has immense geographical diversity, with stunning coastline, sprawling forests, snow-capped mountains, and even dry deserts. It is home to some of the most famous natural sites such as Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, and Mount Shasta.

Alaska takes the third position in the rankings and due to being so large with such little population, the state has plenty of untouched natural beauty to explore. Alaska also includes a number of small islands, each with its own beauty and charm.
