No, I haven't. I've been to places like Connifer and Fairplay though (the town South Park is based on). In a few weeks I'm going to Durango, right after a dance performance.

My favorite western town would have to be DuBois, Wyoming. East of the Wind River Mtns, in the bottom of a beautiful open valley. Red desert to the east, Absarokas to the North. Absolutely geeeeorgeous.

Don't know about the most beautiful city. For me the most beautiful would be where the sun shines the most. Instant recall - Barcelona(..ummm maybe).

The most beautiful place I've ever been to ---- Highlands of Scotland (really love Isle of Skye). Some of the pictures taken at the time still decorate my desktop.

Personally, I believe the most beautiful city in the world has to be istanbul. I just got back from there in the last week of july. Great place. The sight of the bosphorous running through the city is to die for.

Victoria BC! A fantastic place to visit (although if London were less large then it would have my vote).
