1. Weather

2. The southern part.

3. Birmingham.

4. The Lowcountry, easily. Mt. Pleasant/Charleston all the way down to Hilton Head/Daufuskie Island is a stunningly beautiful stretch of earth

5. Winding roads through the almond orchards and across rivers and sloughs as you get minor hillocks, on the eastern side of Stanislaus County. I love driving there on a sunny day, though there’s not much to do other than hope for a good fruit stand or donut shop.

   For things to actually do, probably San Francisco. It’s crowded and chaotic, but it’s got variety.

6. Leaving it.

7. Chicago.

8. having 4 seasons

9. The Upper Peninsula

10. The Central Coast (Monterey/Big Sur through Santa Barbara) – beautiful landscape and weather, and plenty to do without feeling crowded.

11. The trees

12. The redwood shrouded northwest corner.

13. Venice Beach is probably my favorite place on the planet

14. My favorite areas of California are probably these:

    * The Central Coast between Monterey and Santa Barbara, which includes places such as Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, and Pismo Beach.

    * The coast north of San Francisco, including the redwoods.

    * Sierra Nevada from Lake Tahoe to Sequioa, including places such as Desolation Wilderness, Sonora Pass, Yosemite, Mammoth and June Lakes, and Kings Canyon.

15. The highways out of Indiana are the best part about it

16. It’s hard to pick between museums and historical sights in Philadelphia and driving the winding, hilly roads through the Poconos in the autumn.

17. I love the north. I spent a lot of time in the Huron National Forest. It’s so quiet and tranquil.

18. I like everything about Texas (yes, even the hot summer). Lived here my whole life in a few different small cities and towns.

19. The North Shore north of Beverly. Also the Pioneer Valley north of Hadley. Farms and rocky coasts, I love em.

20. The Northwest corner around Galena. It’s the southern end of the Driftless Area – the last glacier just went around it. It’s geographically unlike the rest of the state, and it’s one of the earliest settled areas. So there’s history, geography, many fewer people.

21. The inside of my room.

    Seriously, though, the Columbia Gorge. The Gorge at sunset is just breathtaking.

22. Geographic part?

    There’s a spot in the desert just west of Tucson where the sunset is the best anywhere I’ve ever seen. I dream about it when I’m away, and I’m not even a native Arizonan.

23. I love the [Keweenaw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keweenaw_Peninsula). Really neat old mining towns, beautiful topography, interesting culture, never crowded due to isolation, good food. It’s a gem.

24. Lake Shore of Lake Superior near Grand Marais. Second Favorite is the River Valley and Bluffs from Red Wind to Winona. Both have awesome landscapes and scenery

25. Coastal redwoods.

    Yosemite isn’t far behind

26. The North Shore of Lake Superior is full of waterfalls and beautiful rocky, tree cover d coastline.
