5 Most Underrated States in the US

4. Iowa

Insider Monkey’s Score: 25

Known as the ‘Hawkeye State’, Iowa is known for the Sundown Mountain near Dubuque, which is an alternative to the expensive ski states in the North. The outskirts of Iowa City also offer the Coralville Lake and the Devonian Fossil Gorge. The state is a must-visit for biking enthusiasts as it also hosts the RAGBRAI (Register’s Annual Great Bike Race Across Iowa) from the Missouri River to Mississippi. Despite this, it is one of the least-visited states in the US.
