re: Beach or Mountains? Which is better?

No wrong answer here, but give me the beach.

Went to Estes park last year and it was pretty damn crowded. RMNP was high traffic and people everywhere. We had a great time, don’t get me wrong. It was a mission of mine to show my kids real mountains at a young age. I didn’t get to see real mountains myself until I was old enough to go on my own.
I love the mountains and it has a special place in my heart. But, to me, there’s just nothing more relaxing than sitting and the beach, drinking beer and listening to good music.

Beach, mountains are boring AF for the most part and cold. Cold sucks

Almost everyone I know that doesn’t like the beach…almost always a fatty. Fatty guys tend to like the cold too

I love both. But if forced to choose, I'd take a nice beach like Destin over the mountains. I do love the Smokies and Colorado. I really need to get to some other places like Wyoming & Montana.

I like the Orange Beach and Gulf Shores area because it’s not all about the beach. Gulf State Park is amazing, with over a hundred miles of trails and boardwalks to enjoy through the marshy areas. It’s easily accessible for a long weekend from Louisiana. The local bars and restaurants are fun and safe.
There’s a little something for everyone, without the need to go onto the beach every day.

I hate the beach as well. Only redeeming quality is tits, and usually it's a bunch of beached whales anyways. So give me a nice skiing trip in the mountains where the beached whales have no interest in something physically taxing.

Nothing better than looking out over the Gulf and seeing nothing but blue green water and fluffy white clouds

Non desert mountains are a nice second

Fatties typically don’t handle elevation that well. I’ve never seen the typical pre-diabetic baw on many mountain trails. You can’t avoid them on any gulf coast beach

Mountains with snow… next

I live in mobile and hardly ever go to the beach except when I take the boat out and hit the island.

The beaches have basically turned into little Mexico around here with all the Texans, complete tourist trap.

We vacation every year to north GA or NC . We do plan to take a trip to ft Pickens later this year though. Not near the crowd as the public beach .
