Everyone:
>argues about whether East or West Coast is better

You can't even begin to mog on yanks about these things, their level of natural wonder is just beyond our people's comprehension until they experience it for themselves.
>>
>>2794774
everyone doesn't argue about it. it's literally one schizophrenic mexican from the west coast arguing with one schizophrenic mexican from the east coast

It looks like this all the way from Vancouver to Anchorage.

Fucking hell you killed him with the first reply. How do you even respond to this?
>>
>>2794774
To each their own. What I've found is that some people get off on the sweeping vistas (usually women) and other people have an autism or fascination with the teeming amd cycles of the plants/animals.

All areas have an appeal though even deserts. If I was visiting a place I would want to see a pretty screensaver tier mountain vista. HOWEVER if I was living in it I would want the place with the thickest most diverse teeming plant life (while still being temperate with a seasonal cycle) maybe like a subtropical wetland.
>>
>>2794774
Alaska looks like that too.
>>
>>2794823
>I would want the place with the thickest most diverse teeming plant life
>cant enjoy incredible vistas every single day

I prefer a place with incredible vistas and the requisite undeveloped land to be teeming with wildlife- especially large mammals and predators. And snow. Is has to have snow for part of the year- it keeps out the bugs and pussies.
>>
>>2794830
I'm sure there's no bugs, especially mosquitos in places with snow, especially Siberia
>>
>tfw we always have to bring up Alaska in these conversations about best nature
I'm glad we have it but still, not like a trip to Alaska is much if any easier for most of us than a trip to Norway or whatever
>>
>>2794830
See for me it is a place that is like a festering hot greenhouse for the growing season with a cool warmish spring and fall.. and just enough winter to get a couple of hard frosts. Heavily deciduous with more plants, trees, vines, grasses, weeds than you could ever realistically learn. And I like the little micro ecosystems to be different every half mile you go. A patchwork of wetlands, bottomlands, mixed hardwoods, grasslands etc etc. all packed in there tight together.
>>
>>2794832
>mosquitos thrive in winter
>being this fucking retarded
wew lad
>>
>>2794834
>festering
sounds miserable. no thanks.
>>
>>2794833
it is easier tho
>>
>>2794774
We have Alaska tho. One state mogs your entire country. Add back the other 49 states and it isn’t even a discussion worth having
>>
The dyed blond hair tells you all you need to know
>>
>>2794836
Like I said to each their own. But yeah a place festering like a greenhouse with all sorts of plantlife and insects and fungus and moss etc. is very appealing to me.
>>
>>2794845
sounds horrible. but im sure you like it lol
>>
>>2794852
Lol oh it's ok, I'm perfectly aware it's sort of an acquired thing, most of the people are just in it for the view obviously.

The overlooks, waterfalls, etc. are frequently crowded with selfie-taking hoomans, it's annoying. If I wanted to be around a bunch of people I'd be on a city sidewalk. Whereas the beauty of the verdant deciduous forest full of natural life can be enjoyed without any disruptive chatter.
>>

>for the view
> just because it has a view it has no redeemable flora or fauna
lol. small minds I guess.
>>
>>2794878
Kek I never said that bro just that some places excel in that more than others is all. Generally alpine type places not as much.. but like I said every place has its own appeal.

Get a load of this pleb thinking anything outside of the US is even considered as being of value. Not to mention us freedom loving humans being able to bring a gun practically anywhere. You’re funny OP.
>>
>>2794837
maybe easier to get to Alaska but not easier to get to the fjords of Alaska. Your only real option is to take some lame tourist cruise that visits the same 2 fjords that are close to Juneau or Seward or something, that or a flightseeing tour. In Norway you can just drive or take public transport to hundreds of fjords, with hiking opportunities everywhere also. Good luck trying to hike in Alaska's fjordland.
>>
>>2794888
> but not easier to get to the fjords of Alaska
Yes it is. Go to any coastal town, rent a sea kayak, and have at it.

They are Fjords, you don't hike, you paddle them.
>>
>>2794890
yeah that sounds easier than Norway, you got me

your photo is pretty clearly tasmania though (if its in australia, it probably is though because there are tons of eucalyptus)
>>
>>2794833
Norway is far more expensive

I always feel like besides a few patches that Australia, much like a hot version of Mongolia, is completely sparse and barren once you actually start looking closely.

Its mogged by New Zealand, even Aussies know this.

Only an actual outdoorsman enjoys the desert. If you need constant muh stimulating views for muh instagram pictures you’re not actually an outdoorsman. A real outdoorsman finds beauty everywhere

Can someone who has been to both tell me if he's delusional?

I haven’t been to either but he seems pretty delusional
>>
>>2795021
If "west coast" includes all of coastal BC and coastal Alaska, then yes, it is superior to Patagonia. It has everything Patagonia does, along with things it does not.
>>
>>2795034
The main benefit of Patagonia over coastal BC and AK would be access.

Once you get to El Chaltén, a lot of cool stuff is quite reasonably accessible by foot.

The cool shit in coastal BC and AK is very difficult to get to by foot.
>>
>>2794912
Is it really a complex if true? It’s not bragging if you can back it up.

We know. Everything is fucking better in Europe. You have trains, healthcare, beautiful fucking women, good food. But there's a reason my grandparents left.

Yea and thats the one month of year it looks like that and is actually accessible

I like all biomes except deserts. They are just not pleasant to work or camp in. Shitting in a sand trench while mosquitoes try to suck your balls dry really sucks

Yes. One needs to know what they are doing up there.
