>>2797936>Now do me, Ottawa, Canada.chic choc mountains
>>2797936>Ottawa, CanadaI should have said Amerifags only, but you're close enough. Five Ponds Wilderness in New York. High Falls loop looks pretty epic if you like backpacking. Pic is from high rock.
>>2797947Seconding this. The Chichocs are some of the best mountains in the East.

>>2797983Hawk Mountain Sanctuaryfyi there is an awesome state map for the outdoors PA. Look up arcgis Public Land in Pennsylvania.
>>2797992That's a rough location for /out/Roche Percée Natural Arch in Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area. Columbia, MO
>>2797933Lmao why. I've already got a list of places I didn't even get to visit last year, with new places getting added to the list already. If people need to be assigned /out/ spots then they've lost the plot.
>>2797943A bit less of a wilderness but still looks like a nice spot: Bernheim Forest and Arboretum.>>2797947That is incredibly far. I have been to Gaspe but that's like a 10 hour drive lol.>>2797949I've been to Adirondacks a few times, but not High Falls in particular.
>>2798049Where are you from? A lot of places are limited on options and not everybody knows how to find obscure shit. I like visiting new places but I've run out of locations within a 2 hour drive.>2798057>Bernheim ForestBeen there. Very popular place.
>>2797933Pecos NM
>>2798045hawk mountain is for normiesthere's tons of cool stuff in the endless mountains and pine creek gorge ish areasjust gotta drive another hour or two but its worth itfrozen run gorge vista is much nicer!though you will probably need spikes and it will be very cold next 2-3 monthsmehoopany creek also has a hard hike from the bottom to the top you can do to a view, and then optional further forays from there around the edge of the plateau to see virgin fir forest or dolly sods like high meadows and there's coves with waterfalls there's tons of stuff near therethere's also council cup - easy hike near berwick pa that's just like a 5 minute walk from parking to view but the view is quite spectacular of the susquehanna and a nuclear power plant
>>2797933Tucson, AZ
>>2797962Find the Lost Dutchman mine in the Superstitions or die trying.
>>2797971in the spring/summer go paddle the sedge islands near the barnegat inlent. Just don't mosey into a boating channel lane
>>2797933DFW, Texas
>>2798627This ain't even /out/ on hard mode, it's straight up nightmare mode
>>2798630Wdym, isn't the point of the Ozarks that they are like 3-4 hours drive from Dallas?
>>2797965I camped there when on a work trip last April. Ended up walking in the dark at waste height water for 5 miles. I have a Pic of that same place.Was pretty cool since I usually hike in Wisconsin.The crystal people in Sedona were a trip to witness.
>>2797933Hurley, WI
>>2798634Bruh what
>>27986454-5 hours drive to ouachita or ozark national forest from dallaslong day trip, or very doable 1 night overnight/weekend trip
>>2798630Is there anywhere you can suggest? I do have LBJ grasslands an hour from me which I’ve camped in twice but of course that’s mostly just flat trails without much varying sights.
>>2798650ozark/ouachita national forest, u gotta go further brotons of big cities are set up that way with good big forests but 4-5 hours drive away
>>2798652>4-5 hours driveThat's a day's drive. I don't have that kind of time or even the money for all that gas.
>>2798653you gotta make time if you want good hiking, also thats what weekends are forthere's no magical hills close to dallas this is the assignment thread, not the local parks thread
>>2798627Caddo and/or LBJ national grasslands i guess?
Colorado Springshard mode: eastern plains locations
>>2798680Hopefully it’s not outside any mileage radius you might be restricted on, if you’re military but go check out Spanish Peaks at the border of CO and NMClarksville Tennessee
>>2798852big south fork, falls creek falls, burgess falls, ozone fallsOH and this one, it's on my list but I haven't done it yet, looks pretty though ALSOI forgot what this overlook is called but you park on peters mountain rd in ky and walk to tn to an overlook on the john muir trail https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/afternoon-hike-4aadd66-233?u=mthis green line shows where the overlook is at the edge of the ridge (where the green line ends and protrudes out a bit)this woman did all sorts of needless other walking, but its roughly the route, you can also come at it from the opposing ridge, but that's way more elevation gain, and the trail is reputedly in poor condition in between https://www.indherald.com/2021/06/09/hike-of-the-week-john-muir-overlook/the john muir trail in general is gorgeous and the part in big south fork national recreation area is well maintained and very recommended for backpacking
>>2798852Thanks, although those were already on my list for this year. they're just so tantalizing and they're visible from the springs

>>2797971Wharton state forest. Go to see the remains of those wonderful 30 years that southern NJ had industry. Get covered in tickets. Get covered in chiggers. A month later realize you've contracted an illness that makes you allergic to beef. >>2797983Should be in range of a lot of shit, the roads out of philly are a bit rough though. I have family in the carbon county and it's beautiful up there. There's maps online of public lands, a lot is going to be used for hunting though, so best to be vigilant and not look too much like a deer.
>>2798680>Eastern PlainsIt's a bit of a drive but Comanche National Grassland- Picture CanyonHere's a picture of an abandoned building I found out there a couple years ago. There's a good campsite right next to it. Black Mesa, the Oklahoma high point is also nearby. It's a good day hike.
