I'm biased but have to say that BC has it all - ocean, rivers, lakes, mountains, climate, you name it. Unlike the odd BC'er though I truly also like the ethnic diversity here, it makes for a much better Province ( and Country ). I do have a soft spot for the people of Alta and Sask tho'. Both sides of our family are from rural Sask and you couldn't meet a better, kinder bunch of people.

I'd second that,mywife's extended family farms out out of Leader and Sceptre Saskatchewan and the folks we have met back there are the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.I found that the small towns in Montana were filled with the same goodnaturedness.My kind of people!Monasahee

Actually you Canucks are pretty darn lucky... as an American who has been to pretty much most of the civilised parts of Canada and much of the sparsely populated parts.... I don't recall being anywhere, that was not a joy to be there and plenty to appreciate... Mother Nature certainly blessed Canada... The only curse I can think of about Canada's beauty, is few of us have enough time in a lifetime to see it all.. eh?

I do not wish to "politicize" this thread as I did not initiate it, however, I think that the "luck" of which you speak is now largely an illusion due to the issues we Canadians are encumbered with and this is also the case with the USA.
However, I DO see an awakening coming and the long era of vile government treachery MAY be coming to an end here as Canadians begin to see what has been done to our country by that minority of "profit-hungry" sleazy business types posing as "concerned" Canadians.
I thing, "SF" that you and I and many others share this concern and will continue to fight for what is ours and keep our lands forever as our founding ancestors intended......

Personally I love the US desert, Grand Canyon and most of Arizona and Nevada. Also this part of the US is pretty blessed with mild winter weather.

The towering red rock of the Four Corners area is my wife's favorite place for us to vacation-- but I wouldn't want to live there. We went to Mesa Verde and the fabulous cliff dwellings on a late Fall day with falling snow, and then Canyon de Chelly the next morning with a couple of inches of fresh snow under cloudless skies. If a person could only see one place in the SW, I'd recommend Canyon de Chelly way over Grand Canyon. Monument Valley is stunningly majestic as well. But I'd rather live in BC. Here on the Coast winters are mild as well --- as are summers!
