Yellowstone is nice, but Grand Teton National Park, which is immediately south of Yellowstone is arguably much, much better for landscapes. If you want wildlife shots, both are good...but aside from the Yellowstone Grand Canyon and the geothermal activity, I think Grand Teton is much more interesting.

For mountain landscapes, Glacier National Park, Mount Rainier, the Grand Tetons, Zion, and Yosemite are probably the best within the States.

There are a few things to be found in the Midwest, despite the region being rather boring relative to landscapes.

As c-law already mentioned, Seattle is great for photography. I can't think of a more gorgeous city, if urban landscapes are your thing.

That is an excellent attitude.neuroanatomist said:lady said:Which places in the US are your favorite to take photos of and why?
My favorite place to take photos is whatever place I happen to be in. One of the joys and challanges of photography is to create meaningful and impactful images wherever you are, be it a majestic national park like Yellowstone or Yosemite, a famous urban environment like New York City or Chicago, a small town in New England, or a cornfield in Indiana (where I happen to be headed next month), or your very own neighborhood. Wherever you go, bring your camera. Stop, look around, spot or create opportunities.
