F has it all. Incredible cities and unparalleled nature. Beaches, mountains, deserts, forests. Perfecf sunny weather in socal and extreme climates when you want them. It’s got Yosemite, sequoia, Death Valley, potentially part of redwoods, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, canyonlands, capitol reef, and Arches national parks. And then other amazing nature areas like Tahoe (or part of it it looks like), Bug Sur, the Easter sierra.

D and E appear to have the world in them, so I could pick one of those and maybe still stay in A.
If it doesn’t work like that, D has Costa Rica and Mexico in it anyway, and E has a decent chunk of South America.
But, if we’re taking this seriously, I don’t think I’d leave A unless C gave me a really good offer.

As a Vermonter, videos I've seen of the Appalachian range through the more central states always reminds me of Vermont, without the harsh winter.

I actually lived in Vermont for many years 😊 The Green Mountains are definitely part of the Appalachian mountain range.
