Washington Destination Crowned Among The 'Most Beautiful Places In The US'

America is full of breathtakingly beautiful natural scenery, from expansive forests stretching hundreds of miles along mountain ranges to wonders of nature that formed over millions of years into the awe-inspiring sights we know today to swaths of coastal shores offering views of the ocean as far as the eye can see.

Travel + Leisure compiled a list of the 50 "most beautiful places in the U.S.," detailing the most gorgeous spot in each state that showcases the true beauty of America. According to the list, the most beautiful place in Washington is Hurricane Ridge . Olympic National Park is already an incredible natural haven nestled within the pacific northwest region of the country, but its Hurricane Ridge is a must-visit for one-of-a-kind views.

Here's what the site had to say:

"This mountainous area within Olympic National Park packs the best features of Washington state into one enchantingly alpine package: snowy peaks, glassy lakes, grazing black-tailed deer in steep meadows, and thick evergreen forests."
