In regards to quickest/easiest/scenic combo from the main center of town, I'd go with Northwest Arkansas.
I used to live in San Francisco and other parts of the bay area. Beautiful, but an absolute biotch to drive to with traffic and people.
Now in AR, I can take a half day and go kayaking or take my boat out, I couldn't do that in CA.

mountains or the beach, NC hands down.

Definitely California. Add in the weather and you can do just about everything you want year-round.

California very diverse as Southern Cal beaches and desert. I do miss surfing and dirt bike riding.
Northern CA- Mountains, fly fishing, and Redwood Forest.
Utah, not bad either and have you ever seen the beautiful view of the snow covered mountains from the airport. Yes, been to the ski slopes in that area. Never been in the summer, so I cannot comment about that.
Wyoming and Colorado the snow sports are great. I been in the off season to white water raft, fly fish, and ride trail bikes on trails. August, use to be a great time to go to beat the heat into that plus the cost of the trip hotels, flights, and misc besides food and activities is affordable.
East Tennessee, North Georgia, Western parts of NC, and Western parts of Virgina are nice in early summer to enjoy hiking, fly fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors.
Some people even say Arkansas is a nature state with a lot to do outdoors. I use to ride bikes up there in the early fall and the state has a lot of offer when the temperatures cooled off.

I have been to all the states and love the outdoors, so I feel like I can fairly comment on this topic.
First of all, anyone who picks a state east of Colorado is retarded. Answering this question with some state like Tennessee is like saying the answer to 2 + 2 is pancakes. If you pick any western state, you might be wrong but at least you're not retarded. Your answer is more like 2 + 2 = 5.
Second, there's only one right answer to this question if we're considering year round outdoor activities for the average person with a variety of interests: It's California.

I work a normal 9-5 job and live in a nice house in the burbs. I can be at 6 world class ski resorts in less than 1 hour from my front door. There is also Blue Ribbon trout fishing that can be accessed in under 30 mins. I have 50+ miles of single track Mtb biking and hiking without having to get in my car/truck. The roads here are wide for those that prefer road biking. There is boating/swimming or ATV riding in that same distance. In a short drive from my house there is world class hang gliding and paragliding. And this is just the Wasatch front and doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the cast amount of public lands throughout the rest of the state. Most people visit our National Parks, and miss the jewel that is Lake Powell.

California has a lot to offer, but it's population is the negative. There are millions of other people fighting for the same space, even in the great outdoors.

Colorado / Utah

Areas south southeast of Tacoma are absolutely amazing
Also have Olympic NP a short drive to the west and Mt St Helens and the Columbia River Gorge a couple hours to the south. Not to mention the Puget Sound.

Northwest Arkansas is beautiful
Posted on 4/29/20 at 9:58 am to Boo Krewe
The one correct answer is Colorado.

. In contrast, the major population areas of Oregon, Washington and Utah are all within about 30-45 minutes of trails as good as any in California
I’m not going to argue the point too hard because it’s subjective, but Oregon is not on the same level as Cali. Utah has no mountains that compare to the Sierra, but Utah obviously has its share of desert that is hard to beat. Washington has nice variety and goat rocks and north cascades are beautiful.
The reality is the Sierra Nevada range is untouchable in the lower 48. They encompass a huge area and the granite moonscape is an iconic American landscape. Other spots in this country can compare (thinking of mountains of Wyoming, northern Rockies in Montana, Washington’s north cascades) but they can’t compare in size or scope to the Sierra.

There are places to find solitude in California, and there are packed areas in states like Utah and Montana. Plus, the population and the entertainment options that come with it has its advantages depending on how you want to define outdoor recreation. Does going out to a baseball game or amusement park count as outdoor recreation or is it just hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, etc.?

I was going to say the same about Southern Missouri. Not the best but should not be underrated.
