Post places that are strange/antithetical for where they are located

Apache National Forest, Arizona

Eastern Washington State

Juniper Creek, Florida

I have a couple on my phone, but most of my pictures are on my computer.

This site is a recreation, from the remains uncovered by an archaeological dig. They think a tribe related to the Ancestral Puebloans(?) or the Ancestral Puebloans themselves traveled far from their original area and built these in Southern Nevada. Interesting to see in Nevada.

>>2814796
Also Nevada

Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada where the water looks like something you'd see in the Caribbean

Wait, New York has rugged mountains and uninterrupted wilderness areas?

Good rock climbing in... Oklahoma?

Another one from Canada. This looks more like something you'd see in Utah or elsewhere in the SW USA.

>>2814800
>Uninterrupted wilderness
Yes
>Mountains
lol, no. Barely qualify as foothills.

>>2814801
Kansas has a ski resort... but like the Rock Climbing in Oklahoma it's very over rated and very short. Georgia has better rock climbing.

good answers so far

>>2814829
That's in Missouri.

>>2814873
You're right--my bad. It's right next to the boarder and I never noticed crossing it when I briefly went there. It's barely worth remembering as a ski resort and we went there just to say we we skied in the Midwest.

>>2814829
>>2814882
You'd be surprised at the states that have ski resorts. I used to sell snowmaking equipment and I learned that wherever there's snow, people will try to ski it.

>>2814883
There's a ski resort in southern Arizona.

>>2814905
There's one in southern Nevada too, north of Arizona.

>>2814802
are you a newfag OP?

>>2814913
Very nice. Let's see your pictures.

>>2814913
several of these are more or less one continuous desert.
a few are boreal forest lakehead dunes with otherwise normal rain levels
the arctic desert is technically a real desert though

>>2814905
Yes but west of the Rockies the terrain gets much more drastic, the point is Missouri is part of the great planes.

>>2814905
Mt. Lemmon? Yeah it stays snowy there for a good part of the year. Probably still some up there now.
I live near the Mexican border in AZ and it snowed a few days ago about 20 minutes from my house, but then yesterday it was 90 degrees lol

>>2814913
Carcross, Yukon

Pamukkale , turkey

>>2814978
>>2814905
the US southwest is basically cheating with the Sky Islands

High altitude aspen grove, Texas

>>2814800
>uninterrupted
Other than all the bed and breakfasts and restaurants?

>>2815125
Maybe try going a little further off I-87 and into the actual wild areas. Better yet, don't. Enjoy your restaurants and other tourist shit

>>2814828
>has no hiking or climbing experience in the ADK but decides to chime in anyway

>>2814829
Yes, because skiing a bunny hill in Kansas (wait, Missouri) is the same as 5.13a rock climbing in the Wichita Mountains. Great comparison!

>>2814913
Yes, because "desert" is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Canada

imo this thread is exactly what outdoors should be about, not talking about gear and shit, but more images of landscapes

Patagonia

>>2815108
Texas used to have a huge old growth forest that they almost completely cut down by 1900.

>>2815134
>ADK aren't foothills are MOUNTAINS
na, they're foothills. I've been all over them across several seasons and I'm not impressed as I live on the west coast where there are real mountains. Even Korea is more impressive.

>5.13a in Wichita
You mean a V10? It's a bouldering problem that chickens like you top rope on.

>Because a desert bla bla bla
He's talking about the recycled images, retard.

>>2814914
>no reply

>>2814791 (OP)
Looks nice

>>2815286
>foothills
That doesn't even make any fucking sense. Foothills of what mountains?

>V10
See https://www.mountainproject.com/area/classics/105858670/wichita-mountains-wildlife-refuge

Quit splitting hairs and admit that your comparison to skiing in Kansas was remarkably stupid

>recycled image
Except the image I posted has never been posted here before. Do better next time.

Cloudcroft, Southern NM. Literally 2 or so hours from the US/MX border. Sky islands are neat af

Best place Ive been to and its new mexico

greenland has a "forest" i guess

>>2816060
Fucking retard. Obviously, that forest lives up to the name. It's the least antithetical part of Greenland.

That's on fire right now because of some retard in Greer, AZ. Literally 95 out of 100 "wildfires" these days are started by some retard and not nature. The same area was also previously burned less than 15 years ago, again because of some retards, the natural time between burns is literally 50+ years in most of these area (in canyons 100+). Here's some more AZ. Fun fact you can drive 298 mile one way through forest in AZ uninterrupted.

>>2819829

>>2819830
Extremely flat high elevation (7200 ft) shortgrass plains. AZ's got em to.

>>2819831
This winter was one of the worst recorded drought in AZ history, and both the white mountains and san francisco peaks both still landed 200+ inches of snow. Vid related is 100+ miles distant from both locations. Flat snowy forest, more like Finland but drier.

>>2819831
Is this near Flagstaff?

I'm so jealous of americans, i'm from west europe where there is barely any outlife, and if there is. its crowded as fuck with old boomers and their caravans, i'd do anything to move to the states and just van around and explore outdoor areas. i sign up for the greencard lottery every year but so far no luck. Maybe i should just fly there and get married.

>>2819878
About 40 mins outside of Flagstaff not on a major highway. There are even higher elevation and larger shortgrass plains in eastern AZ as well. There's also a band of lower elevation (6k ft) shortgrass plains that stretch for about 150 miles from the NM border to just east of Flagstaff, sometimes interrupted by juniper forest, and it picks up again on the other side of the ponderosa forest west of Williams to Seligman. All of the lacustrine depression meadows (called "parks") in the AZ high country forests used to be Pleistocene lakes, now only some of them turn into lakes in spring and during monsoons, the largest is Mormon lake but there are actually a couple hundred such depressions from Williams to Show Low.

>>2819906
we are full fuck off

Sierra de la Ventana.
My hometown (flat af, right in the pampas) is not so far from it but I still find it weird to have some decent sierras in the middle of Buenos Aires.

>>2819935
Shut the fuck up, mutt.

>>2814791 (OP)
az has quite a few unique places

not in pic but alpine arizona is nice too.

>>2820180
No he's right. We don't want eurocucks here. Fuck europe and fuck germans especially.

>>2814791 (OP)
I might be stupid but Craters of the Moon made me feel like I was in Hawaii

Guatemalan cloud Pine Forests. Temperate rain forest on slope of Fuego, Flagstaff Arizona on the other, surrounded by jungle.

>>2814791 (OP)
Luskentyre beach, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Beautiful white sands and fucking freezing water. I went swimming there and my cock retracted back inside me so far I wasn't sure it would ever come back out.

The BBC tried to film some survivor type show on an island next to it and they had to cancel and end it early. (Freezing, no trees and barely anything edible)

>>2820175

What's with all the Arizona posts? Are people that retarded that they don't know AZ has forests/mountains and not just a brown desert?

Keep it a secret please. AZ is just Phoenix, that's it.

went there and it was packed with indians having photoshoots at every possible spot.

Southern Ontario has a small patch of badlands, about an hour drive from Toronto. Of course the tourism Jews make you pay to see it so I've only ever driven past it.

>>2823012
another one from Ontario. Who knew we had mountains here. Supposedly these used to be as tall as the rockies before the ice glacier retreated 10k years ago, making this some of the oldest exposed rock on Earth.

The Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma are neat

>>2823012
>>2823014
Where at? I'm heading up to Tobermory this month and wanna make some stops on the way back

>>2823066
First pic is Cheltenham Badlands, just north of Brampton (avoid Brampton at all costs though). Second pic is the view from The Crack hiking trail in Killarney Provincial Park, which would be a long drive out of your way. You'd probably have to plan an extra day to do it.

>>2823074
>Killarney

ahh shit i got a job offer to work at a lodge there last summer but didn't end up doing it because my car would've shit out on me.

pretty sure I could avoid brampton if i'm going from tobermory i forget, but yeah you're right it's a shithole.

>>2814793
There's pretty much the South as soon as you leave the gulf coast especially in those areas AL, FL, and GA

>>2822926
Looks like someone dumped a bunch of sand on the back 9 of a golf course, as a joke.

great basin natl park is probably the most beautiful place in nevada, mt moriah is also very pretty and not what you would think in terms of nature for the state.

>>2816056
Over near cimmiron?

>>2823120
It just really isn't. It gets talked about a lot because Californian transplants desperately want to tell people that their new state has a National Park too. What made it kind of disappointing to me is that it's just a copy of other places you see in Nevada, but it was specifically elevated to park status because Harry Reid wanted a park in his state, and he wanted that feat on his portfolio. There are several areas I'd strongly recommend for the fanatical nature explorer, and Great Basin actually isn't on the list. I guess when you have lived in Nevada your entire life and explored a lot of the state, Great Basin National Park just falls kind of flat.

>>2823942
Great Basin has a large cavern, some of the oldest trees in the world, a rare natural arch composed of limestone, one of Nevada's two 13er mountains, and scenic alpine lakes. There are far worse national parks around the country.

>>2819810
Where’s the lake?

>>2823111
shitty farming + rain shadow iirc

>>2814883
I used to run snowmaking equipment.

>>2815286
I grew up in the Adirondacks, and live in Oregon now. Yeah, our mountains out here are more impressive, but calling the Adirondacks "foothills" is pretty laughable.
