The United States is less a country than a continent of moods. The Southwest stacks red-rock canyons and desert national parks; California runs from Pacific surf to Yosemite's granite; the Rockies cradle Yellowstone's geysers. East lie the museums and skyline of New York, the music of New Orleans, and Florida's beaches, while the Pacific Northwest stays green and misty.
