Washington. No question.

You've got a major metropolitan center (Seattle, Everett, Tacoma) with normal human amenities and a wide variety of culture that is less than 1.5 hours from literally any kind of wilderness you can imagine.

Want rugged forested mountains? Drive to the Snoqualmie area.

Want some insane technical alpine wilderness?
Drive to North Cascades.

Desert?
Go east.

Rain forest?
Jump on a ferry and drive 45 minutes to the Hoh Rainforest, probably the most pristine and untouched piece of forest in the lower 48. Oh, and there's a mountain range in the middle of it.

Something in between?
Literally just pick a spot somewhere in between.

And every single one of those places can be travelled to and explored in under a day, with time to get home for work the next morning.

Also, weed, guns, and gays.

Best place on earth.

Been in AZ for 15+ years, currently in Tucson and need more variety. Family lives in northern Idaho but that shit is way too small and extreme 4 seasons (winter 8 months of the year), came from growing up in Northern Michigan and Columbus, Ohio (midwest sucks). Looking for property with 4 temperate but definitive seasons. Looking at high desert locations I think, Northern AZ (kind of limited as far as cities), Southern Idaho (Boise area or around there), Colorado (close to mountains), and maybe Texas? Can someone help

>>1015767
American here.

Well fucking said.
Completely agree.

>>1015918

You're 2-4 hours from high desert, mountains, or forest pretty much anywhere in AZ. If you're ok with small town life, Payson is supposed to be pretty nice and meets your temperate 4 season requirement. I'm from Tucson, live in Phoenix now.

Colorado is gorgeous and you can get high desert in the Southern part of the state, or true mountains in the Rockies. Great place too, my folks live there now.

>>1015955

>insane heat, even if it is """dry heat"""
>snakes
>poisonous spiders and scorpions
>the above things making a home in your shoes at night

I'd rather take bears and moose and wolves over that shit any day. I grew up in WI so the cold doesn't bother me, in fact I love snow. I'm biased to my home state, forested rolling hills and lakes are great, but I am not so biased that I don't recognize superior beauty elsewhere. The Appalachians are nice, WA/OR/ID/UT are some of the most beautiful places in the lower 48, CO/WY/MT are GOAT. But desu if I relocate I aspire to go to Maine, I like the remoteness yet proximity to large cities at the same time, lack of grizzlies (along with snakes and large spiders and shit) and it has snowy winters and more varied elevation than WI. I think Maine is pretty much the closest state to WI other than Minnesota as far as scenery goes.

What's good gear for backpacking in AZ?

I'm moving there next year from WA. I have a 20 degree down sleeping bag and I'm wondering if that will be too warm for the area. I'm also wondering what kind of hikes there are down there. I'm used to awesome mountain ranges and alpine lakes, I seriously doubt AZ can compare but I'm curious as to what it has to offer.

the 20 degree bag will be good in the fall and winter unless you get in a storm. During the summer in the mountains the temperature will either be surprisingly cold or cool so you can just lay the bag on top of you. 20-25 degree bag is honestly the sweetspot

The West is sparsely populated, hence the need for cars. Public transportation is expensive in rural areas and an anathema to the American emphasis on individual liberty. Free men transport themselves.

As for modernism, it goes without saying that a very recently urbanized area lacks varying styles of architecture.
