Some spectacular places in the Black Hills.

Doing that drive between Banff & Jasper in July, a few hikes then on to the Alberta Rendezvous. Should be a good time!

Sitting on a coastline cliff in Alaska watching the midnight sunset.

Better floating than sinking!

Grand Marais MN. Looking out at Lake Superior watching the sunrise.

A lot of Oregon. But maybe tops is a spot at about 6-7000 ft elevation coming down the eastern corridor of the Andes in Ecuador where you come around a curve on the gravel road and can see 9 waterfalls all seemingly coming off the top of forested mountains. There was a small shack with some chickens and pigs nearby for sale.... complete view of everything. I asked how much. $1000 I thanked him and started to walk a way and he came running after me....$700?

stout creek lakes

British Columbia,some mighty fine country up there!

Shakey, the whole stretch from radium hot springs through the ice fields and over muncho to Watson lake is a nice drive (except the cost of diesel in Canada)

I've not travelled extensively at all.... but for me, it was probably the UP of Michigan.

There are a few of those, but most sinks here have sheer edges rimmed by limestone rocks. Older sinks have eroded sloped edges that are rimmed with large live oaks, palmetto bushes and palms. Many are spring fed/connected and the water is crystal clear.

I’ve seen the high mountains of the Rockies and I like them, but the best place is standing next to a hog building as there I don’t have to deal with people.

Agree

And I was remiss by leaving the Badlands of SD off my initial list.

St Joe NF , in the Bitterroot Mountains, Idaho.

I'll add two , the Beartooth Pass and the Going to the Sun Highway are tough to beat !

Home is were you hang your heart on………

Hard to say; the top of Mount Rainier, Adak Island (feels like a different planet), the upper Coleen River in the extreme NE corner of Alaska are a few places that come to mind.

The ocean ice of the Bering Sea, mid June, when the ice is breaking up and most of the ice is covered in sleeping walrus!

Won’t be heading that far west but sticking to the western edge of Alberta. I don’t even take pics anymore. You look at them after and they just don’t do justice. Anyone that’s never been to see any real mountains, it’s overwhelming. The best stuff to do in these expensive towns is to get out and hike, the trails in the federal parks are “free” with a park pass, but there’s lots outside the parks.

Hard to pin down any one location, but the Grand Canyon was pretty cool...
