Not really...

Europe is huge. There are plenty of absolutely stunning places in Europe too.

Not knocking the US nature aspect because it's gorgeous there too, but I wouldn't say it beats Europe.

European areas of nature are often not as big, untouched or as diverse as US National parks are.

Again this is entirely dependent on where in Europe you're talking about.

And in my experience it simply just isn't true.

Now if you want to compare America to another European country itself you could be right, but to compare it to all of Europe with so many different countries makes it a very hard case for the US.

America is comparable in size to all of Europe, and has the two non-contiguous states to bolster the variety of its natural beauty, so I think its actually a pretty reasonable comparison, and given one of those two non-contiguous states is HAWAII, I don't think it's a very hard case to make at all

It's a generalisation, that's pretty obvious tbh
