>mountainsOnly sierra nevadas are worth shit here, everything else is weekend camp for Labor Day tier like big bear. Sierra nevadas have lots of east-west highways which can provide access to lesser visited trails and locations. Overall several states do mountains better. Maybe other states are more for the true “get lost” type of mountaineer versus California being more easily navigable and accessible
>beachesBest in the country besides Hawaii. Florida is better for swimming, but the beauty of NorCal’s coast combined with socals swimming weather makes the California coast number 1. Washington and Oregon are a close second but they don’t have that socal weather. Gloomy beaches are only so fun
>desertUnderrated, lots of cool places like Anza Borrego, Lee Vining, Trona. Although naturally Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico are all better. Nevada is beautiful more for its vastness.
Yeah saying it’s a jack of all trades might be accurate desu, although having so much cool shit in one place still makes it the best place to live.
