Thread 2839316

friendly reminder that the vast majority of canada is nothing but utter and total isolation in every direction for at least a hundred miles, and it looks fucking beautiful too.

>>2839316 (OP)
Most of Canada is an illusion created from the style of map projection used.

>>2839316 (OP)
The US seems more diverse though

>>2839316 (OP)
The US seems more diverse though. It even has its own Canada (Alaska)

>>2839329
oh yeah thats why so many hike usa from coast to coast.

>>2839331
Exactly, yeah. The US also has the most climates out of all other countries. Colorado is probably carrying this pretty hard.

It'll also mcfuckin' kill you if you aren't hyperprepared
Particularly if you're in the western mountains

BC would be paradise if not for all the "wild" fires.

it might be a dream scenario, but no one wants to hike a place you get shot for stepping on the wrong side of an imaginary line, its also too hot most of the year, no joy in hiking thtough a 40c+ desert. and it lacks waterways and rivers.

>>2839316 (OP)
There's good reason most of it is not inhabited.
>and it looks fucking beautiful
Not true. Only specific parts are. Majority of Canada's landmass is barren and just thousands of lakes due to massive glaciers that dragged their nuts across the land and left it looking like the moon surface with water

You've never looked at a map once in your life.

>Michigan's ears perk up as it hears some hogwash about Colorado having the most climates and glares across the bar.

You can judge climate variability fairly well based on precipitation (geographically) and temperature (annually) variation. Colorado is moderately up there in variability in the US as a whole but not the top.

Precipitation variability and total record temp difference and *minimum* total native vascular plant species
Alaska 4-250 inches 180F 2,750 species
Washington state 6-170 inches 168F 3,600 species
Oregon 5-150 inches 172F 4,350 species
California 2-130 inches 179F 7,250 species
Idaho 9-70 inches 178F 3,050 species
Utah 4-55 inches 186F 3,600 species
Arizona 2-45 inches 168F 4,350 species
Nevada 2-45 inches 175F 3,350 species
Colorado 7-50 inches 176F 3,300 species
Wyoming 5-45 inches 179F 2,700 species
New Mexico 6-45 inches 179F 3,950 species
Montana 6-45 inches 187F 2,800 species

All of them also have at least two separate places that average more than 250 inches of snowfall, and 7 of them have places that average more than 400 inches a year.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing!

Russia,canada and USA,who has the most beautiful wilderness?
