>>1378722I've lived in BC and Utah. There are pros and cons to each. BC is consistently beautiful, where Utah definitely has spots that leave much to be desired. BC isn't nearly as as diverse as Utah.
You can find places in Utah that look like BC, but you can't find places in BC that look like Utah.
I've never been anywhere as wild as BC though. I lived in Sparwood. There were more days that I would see an elk than not. Rams, goats, moose, deer, birds of prey, cougars, and bears were all prevalent as well. Objectively speaking, that specific area was more /out/ than where I am in Utah now (Springville).
