So /out/, I don't know why, but I've always liked green fields, green hills and plains. People usually just find them boring but I like them, for strange reasons.

Is this weird /out/? Does you have a specific type of nature that you prefer, like tundras, deserts and forests as an example?

I love plenty of environments. Rolling grass hills are pretty nice. Deserts are pretty good, too. Mountains can be fun.

Mostly I just dislike thick, flat forests (most of the USA North East). They're dull. There's nothing to see, because you can't see far, and everything is flat and it's dull. But on the occasion when there are rivers, lakes or decent-sized hills, even those areas are pretty nice.

I like all kinds of environments for different reasons - whether aesthetic aspects or ecological aspects that intrigue me.

Green fields/hills/plains are somewhat boring, but there is no doubt a great beauty in the simplicity of it, yet the subtle repeating patterns.

The vastness of huge flatlands is definitely impressive, but the problem usually comes from the lack of any sort of interesting activities in those areas.

Mountains with pine forest may be my favirote, but yeah as >>237188 this guy said I'm into all of it and I'm always trying to find a new terrain to check out.

I try to plan trips so I go through a few different zones, like desert -> prairie -> forest -> alpine. It's awesome having that much variety in one trip and you feel more like you're actually on a journey.

Pic related, awesome meadow terrain after coming out of the alpine. Was not expecting it at all around where I was.

Large, isolated peaks. Normal mountain ranges are great, of course (especially the meadows and where they meet the forest), but when you have one or two giant peaks miles away from anything else that's pretty much tops as far as I'm concerned.

I think of myself as a lover of woodlands and greenery, and I look at photos of thick, mountainous forests and imagine all the safety and seclusion such a landscape has to offer.
but in reality, I find myself drawn to deserts, where the land offers no shelter or sustenance, where bushcraft is useless, and you can't linger in one place. I don't know why but I'm addicted to the idea of tramping over arid mountains, carrying all your supplies on your back, with a single destination in mind. To carry ten days' worth of food on your back but not know where your next drink is going to come from is such a thrill.

my fiance and I are about to depart for New Zealand for one full year. She's spent months researching all the tropical forests and mountain ranges we'll be able to explore together, and I've been pretending to be as excited as her. but I'm planning a solo expedition through the mountains of Morocco next year (it'll be my 4th time going there). I haven't told her yet, but I think about it every day.

For whatever reason, landscapes with too many deciduous trees make me nervous.

I'm betting that it has something to do with the fact that the only time in my life I remember remember being east of Colorado was a trip to NYC.

I've lived most of my life in flat deciduous forests in the northeast USA. Recently, I moved just a few hours west to central PA, and fell in love with the place. Sure, it's nothing compared to the craggy peaks of the west, but I love the long ridges and valleys. The earth looks like folded fabric.

Chile is so awesome. I hope to go visit next year and do some backpacking and climbing in Patagonia

To answer OP's question, I've always been a big fan of alpine meadows dominated by a large peak, much like what you find throughout the Oregon Cascades.

Pic related, it's Mount Jefferson in Oregon. Highly recommended for anyone who is in the area.
