Most of my favorite places besides that are parts of national Forest though. Northern Uinta wilderness, the wind River range, The Everglades are unlike anywhere else, especially exploring on a clear bottom kayak.
Big Bend feels downright Jurassic, it's very cool, very rugged terrain. All the southern utahn red rock wilderness and the southwest in general.
