The American southwest (Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico) is interesting. If you're driving, make sure you have a reliable vehicle. Much of it is desert, but there is also mountains and forest. These landscapes combine in places to create some stunning scenery. You may want to visit some of the National Parks and Monuments. They've been set aside specifically for their beauty. The best weather I know about is coastal southern California, what I call the American Riviera. Unfortunately, it's grossly overpopulated there. The whole Pacific coastline is beautiful. You may even find some artist's colonies there. While you're at Burning Man, talk to some of the other people. They may be able to point you in the right direction. |

All of California is extremely beautiful. If you have the time start up in Marin county and drive down the 1 over the golden gate bridge through San Fancisco all the way to San Diego. There are many great cities and towns along the way worth checking out. I would also spend time in northern New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona, beautiful places. I guess it also depends on where you are from. I moved to southern California from New York and love it out here. But if you haven't explored the east coast, it has it's own beauty. New York City and the Appalachian mountains are amazing I expecially enjoyed hiking in North Carolina and Virginia. Hope this helps, JAX |

How long a trip are you planning on? Would you spend a full week at Burning Man? I've done it twice and spent 4-5 days each time, leaving at midnight Saturday right after the burn. We beat the exit crowds that way, but it would be cool to see the temple burn on Sunday. You'll be closest to California and Oregon, but if you travel south you'll hit Las Vegas. From there it's not far to the Grand Canyon or Sedona. I've always wanted to white water raft down the Grand Canyon. Sedona is awesome, I could spend a week there, and did spend about 3 days on the way to Burning Man last time. Monument Valley in Utah is also not too far off, something I've always wanted to see. I really love the deserty southwestern states. Be sure to bring a bike to Burning Man, rent one if you have to, but Black Rock City is way too big to be stuck on foot. |

 . Texas has beautiful open spaces, very lovely state parks and some of the best food you will ever eat. I agree you should avoid places like Houston, but that's just good common sense.I also really like Colorado and California. | |

California. I love it for it's diversity in all it's forms. It probably has the most diverse landscapes, climate and people of any American state. I love the perfect climate of the coast, and the fact that you can go from the beach to the mountains to the desert within just a few hours. The northern part of the state is completely different in looks, climate and culture from the southern portion. And the fact that it's home to San Francisco, one of my favorite cities on Earth, is massive plus too.
