United States

Every climate zone from Arctic tundra (Alaska) to tropical rainforest (Hawai‘i), via deserts, prairies, temperate forests and two long ocean coastlines. Outdoor culture is equally broad: back-country skiing in the Rockies and Sierra, granite and sandstone climbing from Yosemite to Red Rock, thru-hiking the AT/PCT/CDT, Grand Canyon rafting, Great-Lakes canoe trips, Midwest gravel centuries, big-wave surfing at Pe‘ahi or Mavericks and year-round sea-kayak expeditions in Alaska’s Inside Passage.
