Not neccesarily...one of the prettiest sections I did, it rained every day 
except the last day.  There weren't any views, but there wouldn't have been 
any if there hadn't been rain. What made it so pretty was the deepness and 
richness of the color on the azealeas and mountain laurels. When the sun 
finally came out, it washed out all the colors.   

Come to think of it, I have NEVER had a hike longer than two days where it 
hasn't rained (or snowed) the majority of the time. No wonder I usually hike 
alone :)
