Ohio may not have mountains but i believe it has a much more cohesive landscape that is appealing to look at (i.e. lakes, rivers, with hills and flat parts mixed in) i bet west ohio sucks to drive thru but eastern ohio is pretty scenic

I can't help but feel shocked at the pictures that were used to depict West Virginia! I lived there for many years and never saw anything like the ramshackle pictures used for this hatchet job! It certainly ISN'T exciting to drive through because so much of it is mountains and forests and you can't see the beautiful state parks or whitewater rafting from the car, but this depiction of us as a pitiful state is just ignorant.

Iowa is pretty much the same all the way through. I grew up in Nebraska and the drive through Nebraska changes very gradually from wet (east) to dry (west) and the scenery changes with it. But at least it changes. I've always said nobody would notice this unless they were traveling at 1,000 miles an hour.

@@naturesfinest2408 As someone from regional Australia, I love driving through farmland. It looks beautiful compared to the endless bushland that we have throughout Australia.

And of course there are different sorts of not-very-interesting scenery and whatnot. I've driven through all of these (I drive through Kansas several times a year), and I'll say that, for example, driving the lesser highways through Mississippi is a lot prettier and more visually interesting than driving I-80 through Nebraska. I also have a strange affection for driving the Oklahoma panhandle when going to/from New Mexico, though the stretch between the panhandle and eastern Oklahoma is pretty forgettable. I was amused to note that the two bits of Nebraska he likes are in opposite corners of the state. Nebraska on I-80 is "oh, Omaha is actually kind of cool!", then "oh, Lincoln is ... not that bad!" an hour later, then "good lord will this never end" for the rest of your natural existence. (Though Nebraska honestly isn't as bad as eastern Colorado on I-70, which is *agonizing*.)

You can usually see Pikes Peak on the horizon about when you get to Limon…….it gives you hope. 😉😄

Yeah, just drove through KS with my sisters from Pgh to CA. Wow. Talk about boring! I already knew that about a third of CO was flat like KS. But you can see mountains ahead!

Yeah the mountains was where the snow was still packed on top of the peaks, Ponderosa forests, lots of bears, elk, cougars, bobcat,,,lol

Yeah... everything east of Calhan, CO is basically Kansas. If you don't like Kansas, you won't like east Colorado, that's for sure. You can at least see mountains for a lot of it, but if the air quality isn't great, you can't even see Pikes Peak until you're pretty close to Colorado Springs. Found that out when I drove from Goodland, Kansas to Colorado Springs, CO once.

Yeah agree.

Wow that's how I describe kansas; it's like being in the middle of the ocean

Love driving through Kansas. There is something very peaceful about it.

yeah I would have put in South Dakota instead of West Virginia.

Lots of hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, great whitewater rafting.

@@edwardrhoads7283 South Dakota has Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore I suppose. West Virginia has some pretty roads. I did hike to the top of Spruce Knob, but it's a pretty easy hike for someone who grew up out West like me. I just wanted to see some sort of hill/mountain, I was stationed in Norfolk, and after a while the flat terrain gets to me. LOL. I'm grew up in a valley with mountains surrounding it.

maybe not the stops but even the interstates are beautiful drives. I-64 from VA-Charleston is freaking beautiful especially at sunset. I-79 is one of the nicest north-south interstates. US 50 west of Clarksburg is crazy fun if you have a hot hatch.

I came here to say this.

Trust me no one knows how Nebraska actually looks like.

@@apexkiller66-94, This guy sure doesn’t seem to know it. I’ve listened to people whining about I-80 across Nebraska my whole life. That’s alright, keep driving it and whining about it.

If you've never been, GO! I took a road trip and visited all the state parks in the area including the Black Mesa at the western most point. Truly one of the best vacations I've ever taken. It is a geological wonder, with mountains, flat lands, cayons, rivers, etc. The 8 mile round trip hike up the back mesa (moderate with one strenous 1 mile section but still doable) ranks as one of the most scenic hikes I have ever taken, and I have hiked all over this country. At the top you can see hundreds of miles into Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma. But go there in the winter or late fall/early spring. The rest of the year it'll be too hot. Also expect very few or no amenities for tourists because it truly is still a no man's land. Cell phone coverage is also very spotty there.

@@mark-briansonna7670, so I heard that there are some scary meth labs/people in that area. Have you heard this?

​@@msannthropic7661 No. This area of the country is very desolate. Most of the few and far between towns have less than 500 people. Seera that are the map are actually almost ghost towns. The few people I ran across at gas stations and the motels I stayed at were very friendly. Keep in mind there are VERY few motels, gas stations, and barely any restaurants either in this whole region. It is a poorer region of the country, but not scary poor like in places in Mississipi, Louisiana, or Texas (where I reside). Not for a moment did I feel unsafe the entire week I was there exploring. The only thoght that crossed my mind was "I am very much out here on my own in the middle of owhere and miles away from the next town on the map that may or may not have a gas station so I better fill up my car even though it's only 1/2 empty."

A LOT of great scenery. I disagree with his ranking.

yeah, of all the adjectives i've heard people use to describe West Virginia, this is the first time i've heard it called "bland." but he's not wrong if you're strictly speaking from the perspective of someone looking to take a roadtrip. this is not a state you drive through for pleasure (except maybe bikers). the roads are bad and curvy, amenities are lacking, and we have no major cities. when someone visits, they need to come here with a purpose. and 99 times out of 100 that purpose is to be outside, engaging with nature, not looking for tourist traps.

There's Deep Creek Lake as well, which is between Maryland and West Virginia

@@howardcitizen2471 Agreed. I love the mountains.

Deep Creek is entirely in Maryland. It's one of the main tourist attractions in my area.

It seems like he focuses on cities and the cultural aspects of places rather than the landscapes and recreation. WV's cities and towns really are depressing, bit the landscape is some of the best in the country. If you enjoy outdoor recreation it's a must-visit. Monongahela, Dolly Sods, New River Gorge, etc.

West virginia is easily in the top 5 most boring

this guy strikes me as an outdoorsy type that likes to camp so I'm kind of shocked he included West Virginia.

My family members live both in those states

You can be honest, you are actually from West Virginia.

Agreed

So true

Cresting the bluffs along I 70 in central Kansas amongst "Amber waves of grain" is great

I disagree. Having driven through every state in America, the rural beauty of Kansas is unmatched during my drive on I-70. I see roads heading to "nowhere" on either side of I-70 and love the look of big America. I long to stop and see where they lead, knowing fully well they go on forever from one farm to another. But remember that boring America is also the breadbasket of America. Show some respect!

@@vipahman alot of those lead to museums,Wizard of Oz,Largest PrairieDog,Barbed Wire Capital,oldest hamburger stool restaurant.

I highly recommend googling Roadside America for the state(s) you're passing through. So many interesting, cool and eclectic attractions that most people unknowingly just breeze by. If you're not strapped for time, stay off the interstates. Travel slow, explore around small towns, go into a local watering hole for a conversation and a drink, etc. Those are the memories I like to make and the adventures I like to have.

We used to turn left and take the PA turnpike and eventually wind up on i-95, going to Myrtle Beach, but the WV route south is much nicer, less busy and probably faster.

... and that's why living in the West is better!

I've seen it in downstate Illinois, Michigan, and Kentucky. I'd like to see WV though because of the nature

WV is basically the only dark sky location on the East Coast :)

Oh, so you got abducted by aliens? Story time! Story time! 😉

But the “nothing” of mountains, lakes, forests, and oceans is objectively more interesting than the “nothing” of a wheat field

@@amog849 I’d have to disagree. I personally love vast, open flatlands. Something about the way the wind sweeps across them and just makes you feel so present. Plus, cars like flatlands a little better than mountains anyway (just ask the smoke coming from my hood on Teton Pass)

No problem. Just take the title of this video, scratch out Worst and put in Best

I agree. The fewer humans I see on my adventures the better. Most people will travel to popular tourist destinations. So for those who enjoy the back road adventures a lot of the nothingness places are actually pretty cool

That's why I would love to drive the Road to Nowhere which I think is US 83 which travels from Canada to Mexico through the plains states and traverses no major cities (Pierre may be the largest)

Omaha has a first rate zoo!

Des Moines would like a word with you

I'm from Michigan and have driven through West Virginia several times on I-77 on my way to visit family in South Carolina. I love the mountain scenery there, it's breathtakingly beautiful.

I have to agree. I live in Indiana and I'm from North Carolina originally with family still residing there so I have made that trip through West Virginia many times over. We make quite a few side trips when we are there. I can't say that I'm in love with the towns there although we frequently stop in Charleston and have enjoyed that. If you love nature and beautiful scenery, WV has a lot to offer.

I agree. I have driven from south Louisiana to West Virginia twice and I have never seen more beautiful landscape than West Virginia. It is breathtaking! Not a flat piece of land anywhere!

If any state has had a song written about it, it must have some redeeming qualities.

true. it's one of the best states for hikers in the east. but this geography king dude doesn't look like he hikes anywhere aside from the buffet table.

This, 1000%. New River Gorge National Park is gorgeous!

I have family in West Virginia, it’s pretty, but there is not much to do.

Where are you from, though? LIke, you probably don't get out too much and stuff.

The thing is, you're talking about a Blues tour, not a road trip. Mississippi is great if you are a blues fan and want that whole experience and history. A road trip is all about great scenery and interesting and quaint towns and cities.

@@martha3445 The Mississippi leg of my road trip was just that… a small but (for me anyway) fascinating section of a fairly long journey that over a three week period took in Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, St Augustine, Tallahassee, Mobile, Biloxi, New Orleans, Natchez, Baton Rouge, then North through Mississippi to Memphis, on to Nutbush (which is basically just a crossroads!) then Jackson, Nashville, Chattanooga before arriving back in Atlanta for my flight home. I’ve done six US road trips in all, and can honestly say they were the best vacations I ever had… the sheer physical beauty of the country is breathtaking, and the way the National Parks are maintained is absolutely first class. Walking around the various cities I passed through was also really interesting and provided many great photo ops with Muffler Men & women, wonderful old buildings & often great waterfront / riverfront areas. To save money on car hire it’s usual for me to plan a circular route that comes back to where I started from, the only time I couldn’t do that was when I did Route 66 Chicago to LA & it cost me about $500 just to leave the rental at LAX.

The two loveliest cities in Mississippi are Natchez and Oxford!

@@martha3445 Natchez and Oxford are the loveliest cities in the state!

I grew up in MS, and so haven’t really done so much actual touring around the state. However I have collected some of the weirdest experiences in my life from visiting Natchez.

@@denisweimer8791 I have a friend from KS whose uncle is a farmer and he grows all types of stuff.

@@fandomshark I guess maybe I just went at a time when everything was dead and not pretty

Southern Illinois is not flat. The bottom third is very hilly and the Little Grand Canyon is pretty neat.

LMAO

In the northwestern part of the state is the Galena territory it is also referred to as the drift less area an area that the glaciers didn't flatten the land. It is very hilly and is where wealthy Chicagoan's have their getaway house's. I've often heard but have never been to is southern Illinois, I have heard it is very hilly and is a part of the Ozarks.

Having grown up in North Central Indiana the western burbs seem hilly to me. And yeah Galena and the places along the Mississippi have some decent hills.

I've lived my entire life in the Las Vegas Valley, hills are still flat compared to a mountain range.

Agreed! You don’t even have to stop, just drive thru and be amazed!

WV has natural beauty but it would fall lower than almost every western state, every coastal state and New England’s natural beauty easily tops it.

Here! Here! I love Kansas!

We visited Hays just to be there. The museum with the animated dinosaurs is fun, but once is enough. More than enough!

I used to live in Wichita most of my life and let me tell you, if ppl knew what there was there, they would have fun! There’s the keeper of the plains and the museums on the river
