7/10 for having AT a few national parks, back Bay, Chesapeake Bay if you into fishing or the creatures that live in the wetlands, great dismal swamp, north most part of NC but close to my home so I'll count it outer banks, many historic places such as Jamestown which isn't exactly what's asked but they have many out things to learn they're.

I'm also from NRW. Have you been to the Sauerland? It seems to be the most /out/ place around at least on maps, but I haven't been there yet.
The Wiehengebirge in the north of NRW has at least one or two places with pretty nice scenery - but you have to know where to go to avoid idiots who got lost despite the fact that they had a gps, a map, the sun was shining and they just walked 3 km. The way they wanted to go was well documented as well...
It's worth a try if you live nearby.
The Haard (Die Haard, central NRW) is okay for loneliness in the evening, but the scenery isn't as nice as the Wiehengebirge is. Plus in the night many hunters showing up, and there are no good water sources as far I know and its a pure wood farm. Wouldn't recommend.
Then theres the Siebengebirge and the Eifel, places I also still need to visit. The Eifel seems to be potentially very good, but I'm unsure about mines and stuff from WW2. Anyway, the Sauerland is the next place I'm going to.

7/10 Road biking on Mt. Tamalpais and Mt. Diablo is very popular, the Tour of California bike race uses them as well. Horseback riding is also pretty common. Good variety of mountain biking options. Surfing and boating on the bay and ocean

6/10 overall. Lots of farmland that gets to be monotonous, but their are tons of gorgeous places in the northwoods and the driftless. And in the rest of the state if you look hard enough.

9/10. Whitetail population took a hit the past few seasons, but that shit is cyclical. We have some of the best grouse hunting in the country, solid pheasant hunting in the southern half, and there are fucking Turkeys everywhere.

10/10. We got everything but deep sea fishing. You want to chase trophy Muskie? Boulder Junction and Hayward areas both have monsters lurking there, but even the chain of lakes around the capitol have 50 inch monsters cruising the waters. Walleye? Oh fuck yeah. Bass? Everywhere. Catfish? Shit yeah. Northern Pike? Shit yeah. More panfish than you can count. Trout? the driftless has more coulees and creeks to fish than you have time. We got steelhead runs from the Great Lakes. We got monster Brown Trout in Lake Michigan. We even have Chinook and Coho salmon (although they have been on the decline recently due to a forage base change in Lake Michigan).

8/10. Some rock climbing, but nothing super high or crazy. Cross-county skiing is great, but downhill is regulated to only a few hills. Tons of hiking trails everywhere, cycling is really good (all kinds, but mountain biking is fewer and farther between), tons of lakes and rivers to paddle and boat around, snow mobile and atv trails... the list goes on

9/10 I don't ski but all I hear is great things about here, rock climbing is really awesome here in the canyons and petroglyphs all over the place. the biking trails are also very good if a little scary sometimes, but that is why they are good I guess. lol

I dont' know what you're judging fishing on (honestly) but here in Texas we have a ton of freshwater and saltwater fishing (and professional contests to go with it) and stream fishing in Colorado blows it away - aesthetics, climate, lack of bugs, quality of fish, quality of catch, enjoyment of catch....hell, even driving to the fishing spot is enjoyable. I'm in Houston and have an entire large tackle box and several rods and reels dedicated to fishing in Colorado.

>1/10 to 10/10 depending on were you live
I can only think 1/10 for the Eastern part. But I've never met a Colorado state or NF campground in over three decades that ranks below a 7/10.

Yep. The Lake Como road (Blanca massif) comes to mind. Hell, your life may be forfeit if you don't take the obstacles correctly.

Comparing it to Alaska, Washington and Montana. As far as salmonids go I'd say the fact that we have no salmon or steelhead is (almost) made up for by our varieties of trout, our scenery (a draw with the above states) and our dry-fly fishing but everything else is mediocre compared to other places in the country (ie. the Great Lakes states have much better Pike/Muskie fishing, the south has better Bass, etc.), our warm-water fisheries in particular are pretty crappy and we have no saltwater species whatsoever.

Son of a bitch; I grew up in La Veta.
Why does half of your state seem to descend upon the Sangres in the summer? Does "fuck off, we're full" mean nothing to you? And do Texans have some sort of genetic disability that prevents them from being able to drive in precipitation?
