>>2773566I've only ever hiked CO, UT, and Nuevo
They were all fine. Each one is different.
I live in the mountains. I live in Leadville at 10k plus feet surrounded by 14'ers and 13'ers in every direction.
it's not a competition, and the mountains aren't all exactly the same in every part of every state. The Henry's in UT are different from the Uintas and the Wasatch, but they're all good mountains. There's no "best." They're all amazing.
what I love most about my mountains is all the mining history. Old cabins and mines everywhere. Gold and silver and good crystals all over. But every state has some great stuff.
