As stated above, "Underrated" versus "Unknown"...big difference.
This list crops up every so often, and one wonders who makes such a list. Were the locations actually visited? What's the criteria for making the list?
Some would point out that quite a few on the list, by some other standards, would be overrated. Case in point: Estes Park, CO. Now, I love the Estes Park area and am up there frequently from my home base about 45 minutes away. But at the height of the tourist season, it's a zoo up there. Too many people, with RMNP being loved to death. Traffic frequently bumper-to-bumper, and not just in town. Downtown sometimes looking like mid-town or lower Manhattan, what with all the pedestrians. There are certainly other contenders in Colorado. But any list such as this is always subjective.
I'm sure others would point out glaring errors in other states. Branson, MO underrated? Reno, NV underrated? Detroit, MI underrated? For the folks who frequent forums such as this, I think there are likely other suggestions in those (and other) states.
