It's very pretty. Like there are truly, wonderously beautiful places in the us. There's genuine wilderness. Not much, but there's some. The people can be very cool. There's a lot of good food.
I drove through the Rockies a couple years ago (California -> Nevada -> Utah -> Colorado) and it was breathtaking. Every hour the terrain changed shape and color into something more beautiful. I never saw anything like it in the Bible Belt where I grew up. Literally all I did was drive on the interstate to get to my destination, yet it felt like a vacation.
It's a gorgeous drive. You're in the desert the whole time, but I never knew there were so many kinds of desert.
