I agree. I've lived in three states and have visited on various occasions all but 7 (RI, CN, NJ, DL, NH, VT, MN) and have to say that Alaska and Washington by far have the most outdoor activities available. Can't find any significant glaciated peak outside of AK or WA, some great rock climbing (Index, Leavonworth, WA Pass), Alpine peaks, hiking, biking, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, hunting (not that I do any), ice climbing (kinda), birdwatching (again, not into it, but whatever), etc....
Not too many states you can find all of that in. :tup:
