What is better than the Texas hill country?

I have lived around here my entire life so sometimes I think I take it for granted.
But this area has also blown up since I was a kid, so it must be pretty great.
What are some other parts of America that rival or are superior to the outdoors found here? Nice rivers and lakes to swim, fishing, hiking, beautiful views, nice people, hunting, etc.
First thought is somewhere like north Georgia?

E rock is pretty cool.

the oppressive heat and mosquitos are the main negatives…but the positives are up there for sure as the only places that you escape those (west coast) are insanely more expensive and have other negatives

I think the southern/south central Appalachians have more to offer topographically/aesthetically than the hill country
But, the HC probably offers a culture/vibe that is better for most purposes (note, Appalachian culture as a whole is clearly a much bigger, broader, more important concept than HC "culture", but that's a different category altogether).

I like middle Tennessee.

Not drowning in the middle of the night county is better

The roads are also pretty dangerous.

Since Texas started accepting refugees from California everywhere has blown up around hill country.

May want to do some traveling.
Most summers its just burnt brown with the occasional cedar tree/bush. Sometimes the creeks and rivers have water, sometimes they dont. If you get too much water....
Snakes of every type, the wildlife all look like they are starving.
Some nice sunsets and sunrises though.

The areas around denver where you have access to hiking and mountain biking during the summer and skiing in the winter

I haven’t spent too much time out that way until April of last year when I got on a deer lease in Junction. I love it out there now and would love to buy a lot to build a house on one day when I retire.

It’s not green enough. There’s not really a lot of forest or trees aside from oaks here and there. It’s yellowish brown all over.
The spring fed rivers with limestone bottoms are nice. Aside from that I don’t love it all that much. Way too crowded and expensive to own property there also.
East Texas up around Tyler/Longview areas are what I prefer. Rolling hills lush green grass and forest. Big lakes. Less over populated too. You can actually get a rural feel without seeing teslas everywhere.

Shenandoah Valley is one of the nicest areas of the country.

I love the Hill Country. Would love to retire to a secluded spot with acreage.
