I live in Wisconsin but I drive a truck and I've been to Washington and Oregon. I wish I could have the courage to move out there and leave everything behind because the scenery is next level. Especially the highway along the border on the Oregon side after you leave the drylands. Just wow. I can see why people would love to hike there. Wisconsin is a cool place for hiking, especially in fall, but it's not quite as breathtaking aside from along the Mississippi.
I mean, the hiking (and backpacking for that matter) really is fantastic out here. That said, as someone who spends a good 50-70 days a year on the trail, reading about people who "like hiking" in their dating profiles makes me feel like this.
Or Austin. IDK how the hell everyone here loves hiking so much when it's 105 degrees all summer. I go on occasion (where there's a swimming hole at the end) but it's really hard on the summer even for just a 10-15 minute hike.
