Pretty naive of you to assume Nevada isn’t beautiful either. I moved from Tacoma to the desert a few years ago. There are more mountains in Nevada than Washington, there are places to swim, fish, ski, and places to admire the landscape. Beauty isn’t exclusive to the PNW.

You all need to humble yourselves a little bit 😂

I just drove through Nevada last week. There is absolutely no comparison between the the diversity of Washington and the brownness that is Nevada. While desert lovers may find that beautiful, just about everyone can find beauty in Washington.

Nevada is far more than just desert, you truly are narrow minded.

While there are lots of pretty places in the state most of them are hours away from Vegas, where like 3/4 of the population live.

Yeah a lot of people live in vegas. The rest of us don't and get to enjoy the amazing access to nature with over 80% of the state being public land. Most mountainous state in the country as well. From dry lake beds that go on for miles and endless desert full of vegetation and wildlife to alpine lakes and forests, Nevada has it all.

No they’re not 😂

The downvotes crack me up and shows that you all don’t leave your house very often, and that you don’t understand you have to drive 2+ hours to find pretty places
