What's a place in your country that you would recommend to someone visiting for the first time?

For me, it would probably be the Wellington Botanic Garden.
So much to see here in the US...

1) New England
Easy to get around and see a bit of it and NE New York.
If you can be in Boston on 4 July, see the USS Constitution and listen to the Boston Pops play Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture...

2) WDC
Start with the National Archives (Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, pages of the Constitution).
Add in any of the Smithsonian / National museums you like, incl. Air & Space
See if there are free concerts of any of the military bands.
Add in tours of the White House, Capitol, SCotUS, LoC...

I would suggest the Grand Canyon. Hopefully anyone could catch it on a clear day

for skiers I would suggest Revelstoke Mountain for best skiing and Whistler-blackcomb for the amazing view and awesome ski-in ski-out experience with great ski village. Revelstoke doesn't have much of a ski village but the quality of snow is better than whistler. personally, as a seeker of powder snow and backcountry skiing I prefer Revelstoke.
Anything outside Amsterdam really.
