ive been thinking about this answer for like two weeks and i still dont have a good answer . theres a part of tryon creek i really love so i suppose thats my local one, but as for all time..... i am at my happiest when i am on the oregon coast on a cold day, not on a beach necessarily but on one of those rocky foresty areas overlooking the sea. i guess thats also local to me!!! but for all its problems i do think the pnw is one of the most beautiful places in the world
