And subjectively every individual is free to choose what they value more. My personal preference is AZ, ID, and MT. No one expects to drive through 200 miles of sub-alpine mixed conifer forest in Arizona or to find locations that are naturally snowier than the Austrian alps or to find areas with more then 35 inches of annual precipitation similar to some midwestern locations there, because the stereotype is that the entire region is nothing but desert devoid of forest and water.
