   Everybody should see Death Valley, Yosemite and Sequoia/King's Canyon.   
   Optional:  Vasquez Rocks because you've seen it in so many movies.   
   Aside from those, the 4-corners states are way better.   
      
   OTOH, hardly anybody freezes to death if they sleep outside in winter in   
   Los Angeles and we have the numbers to prove it!
