What's your favorite type of terrain? I personally find the rolling hills and river valleys in the "driftless area" of southwestern Wisconsin to be quite beautiful.

I've moved a lot, lived in different cities, states, and countries. But I'm New English from birth so I gotta go with 20th-21st century New England.

Apulian countryside.
I'm not the spiritual or sensible type but I fucking swear to god, there are pockets of reality amidst the overgrown olive groves and near the singing ripe wheat fields where you can physically feel the stillness of time, where nature has stopped the flowing of time to the last moment a man stepped on that rock, under that tree, near that bush, be it 10 hours ago or 10000 years before.
Everything so dry and hot, a merciless sun trying to kill everything under its gaze, crickets chirping, almost covering the song of the wheat in the wind.
It's fucking magic

This is so fucking ugly. There's no vegetation. It looks like outer space, hostile to life. It makes me depressed just looking at it.

I would take lesser topography for better ecology anytime.

and i find your favorite terrain to be mundane in its ubiquity and accessibility. fortunately there is room for more than one opinion on this subject.

This thread seems kind of related and I didn't want to make my own, so i'll ask here. When it comes to ttracking animals/footprints, is it easier or harder to do in wetlands than it would be just your normal grassy plains? I thought at first it would be harder due to the watery soil filling in the tracks, but then I realized it might just make the indentation all that much more obvious.

Cass, Itasca and Aitkin Countied in MN. It's a shithole of retirees and trailer trash in a marshy, popply landscape but it's also the most beautiful country I've ever been in.

ida Gwaii. Endless sandy beaches, immense tidal flats & pools, kelp forests with an abundance of wildlife, moss-covered old growth forests, & mountains that are just the perfect size to be climbed. And that mist, god damn.... that mist makes everything so beautiful & mysterious. When you're sitting on top of Tow Hill during a windstorm and the sky opens up to a scattered terrain of sunbursts & rolling cumulus clouds, you almost feel as if you're viewing the end of the world itself, in all its mashing terror & unspeakable beauty.

Fuck, I miss home.

I just like places that are mossy with deciduous trees, or places with lakes and rivers that can be traversed easily. Don't have any of that here though.
