The gulf states have amazing fishing.


Fun fact: Louisiana provides nearly a quarter of all seafood sold in this country...

Compared to Tenn and NC, yes it is laughable.

Yeah, you can hike in any park, but the quality is different in mountain ranges or your top national parks.

SC is not great, but in the northwest part of the state it offers some decent quality.

The area southwest of Clemson is absolutely gorgeous. There is a town called Longcreek which hosts several rafting companies on the Chattooga, while very small, is quite breathtaking.

As far as the OP question there's Cali in tier 1 alone.

Michigan is underrated, manly talking the northern wilderness areas/UP.

Even if this were true( it's not), you could say the same thing about some western states and Tennessee/ north carolina

Hunting and fishing in Michigan is excellent to say the least. However, NC and VA have better beaches and mountains than Michigan. NC and VA also have four full seasons.

LOL at people from Alabama and Louisiana LOL'ing at Texas.

You've got fishing on the Gulf Coast along with some decent beaches farther south, beautiful Hill Country for hiking, fishing and river floating, and mountains in West Texas with a great national park in Big Bend.





I was coming here to post this.

The PNW is king. It has everything. Mountains, ocean, scenery, snow, beaches, rainforest, etc

One could argue that your winters tend to last a while.

You're out of your mind if you don't put Wyoming and Utah in tier 1. I just spent 4 weeks in those two states and they're among the top 5 I've ever been to because of their outdoor activities.

Google arches national park, canyon lands national park, Bryce Canyon, onion creek salt diapir, sheep mountain, Devils canyon.

Sorry but Texas and Florida are not in the same tier as CA or UT.

Fair enough. Spring and Fall are incredible here.

Texas beats Utah due to diversity.
