What's your favorite nature place

Up here in New England, we have l0ads of choices. I can head east and be at the seacoast in under an hour. I can head northwest and be climbing Mt Monadnock in about 90 minutes. And then I can always take a couple hour drive north and be in the White mountains. There is magic to be found just around the next bend.
 
Tough call between the hot tub under the stars in my garden or the waterfall in Iceland I proposed under :embarrassed:
 
Jeepers what a question...
Maybe the stretch between Prusik Pass and Enchantment Peak in the Enchantment Lakes Basin, Stuart Range, Central Washington. There's a pass in the Idaho Sawtooths that comes to mind, as well. Killin' me here! :wink:
 
I used to go to Sunfish Pond which is along the Appalachian Trail regularly when I lived in PA.

Lots of great places and lots more I haven't even visited.

Yosmite was breathtaking. Diving in the Solomon Islands was out of this world for me.

Hell 2 weeks ago at my friends cottage on Lake Muskoka with thousands of stars of the Milky way was awesome in itself. If you look hard enough you can almost always find beauty someplace

I've never really gotten out and about in that area but would really love to.

It's gorgeous country and to me it's more than just beautiful scenery. There's a spiritual aspect. even though there's a diversity in scenery there's a unity. without getting all new age and hippy dippy I feel a sense of place in the region , a connection to to the earth, to past generations. Whether it be the high deserts the mountains the grasslands or whatever it's just a feeling of peace and harmony I guess :embarrassed: I counldn't live anywhere else. :)

It takes me about 45 min. to get to the trailhead there. Delaware Water Gap National Rec. Area is my fave if I have more than 4 hrs. to kill. Always a new place to explore.

I've been to Sunfish and Catfish ponds a number of times. The Delaware is such a great river. I do have a few spots I love I can't divulge.

I dig extreme N. New Hampshire, aka "Moose Alley" and the Connecticut Lakes.
 
probably Joshua Tree, but I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself with some midwestern nature-type spots

You really need to get out of the city more.

As Frank O'Hara said, "One need never leave the confines of New York to get all the greenery one wishes-I can’t even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there’s a subway handy, or a radio store or some other sign that people do no totally regret life."

Personally I am partial to the Lac du Kruth-Wildenstein, but it is a reservoir and like most reservoirs you could quibble about whether it's really "nature".

Do you go often? A buddy has a sailboat and he's been trying to convince me to sail out there with him, but scheduling hasn't worked out yet.

Once a year, at least.

I've read/heard the Army Corps of Engineers is planning to fill in the Camille Cut. That would a monumental task.
