As an easterner whose family is mostly out west and who has been
recently transplanted to Chicago, I think I've seen at least a bit
of the best of all worlds. Personally I'm not terribly enamored of
the flatness of the midwest, somehow it seems to lack the epic
scale that flatlands further west have. I guess it's just that in
places like the Dakotas you have the occasional hill to give you
perspective, so the only landmarks aren't always human made. But
for the best views it's very hard to beat the west, there are a
couple of places up in the Sawtooths that I'll always remember.
There are a few places in New England that can compete, but
ultimately for scenery it's got to be the west.
