Making a list of the most beautiful towns in the world, and even just in the United States, might seem like a near impossible task. However, many have made these kinds of lists, and many have claimed to know, and rank, the most beautiful towns in the world.

More recently, Have Clothes, Will Travel, a popular travel blog created a list of the 14 Prettiest Small Towns in the United States, and one of those places is just about a 6-hour drive away from Boise.

West Yellowstone, MT

The creator of the list mentions that the town is the gateway to Yellowstone National Park, and that it's a top destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

It goes without saying that West Yellowstone unquestionably earns its place among the most charming towns in America.
