>>2852502with the exception of the tropical stuff, your counterexamples are measurably less impressive, on a much smaller scale, or just generally worse.
i don't think there is an objectively better coast but you can't be serious if you, for example, think maine has areas anywhere near as remote as alaska, or that new hampshire's mountains come close to the scale of the rockies. there aren't trees big enough to drive through in rhode island, salt marshes are not salt flats, and the grand and owyhee canyons are not in north carolina.
