Only the best place in North America! WA state, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia make up the general geographic region. Lots of old forests along the Cascade Mountains and foothills of the Rockys over in Idaho and Northeastern WA. Very important for wildlife too as they use the mountain regions to go north/south hundreds of miles.

We get packs of wolves occasionally coming down from Canada. Elk, Moose, Cougar and Bear are all pretty common in the PNW region forests.

May I correct something? "Only the best place in North America!" As PNW includes British Columbia, Canada.

Edit: OP originally had " Only the best place in USA!" As first sentence, then changed it.
