It was difficult to rank them all, but there was still a clear winner in my eyes.
  • I traveled to all 50 states solo and ranked them based on my experiences.
  • Oklahoma was my least favorite, with California, New Mexico, and Colorado taking the top spots.
  • I ranked Colorado first due to its outdoor activities and New Mexico second for its uniqueness.
