Why is flat terrain an negative trait?
- lotsofpulp 8y agoI didn't mean that it's inherently negative, I meant given the option, more people will choose mountainous/hilly terrain over flat terrain. Either for aesthetics, or hiking, or skiing, or whatever. My only proof is that property values are higher in those areas.
- RandallBrown 8y agoFlat terrain is one of the biggest reasons why I never plan to move back to my home state of Michigan. Skiing, hiking, and climbing are 3 important things to me that the midwest simply doesn't have in any meaningful way.
- ensignavenger 8y agoThere are plenty of hiking trails throughout the midwest, and Arkansas has some of the finest rock climbing in the nation. Plenty of climbing in other Midwestern states as well. Snow skiing, not so much.
- RandallBrown 8y agoThe hiking in the midwest is hardly comparable to the hiking in the rockies and west coast. It's hardly even comparable to the hiking on the east coast. There's some good rock climbing sure, but there's no alpine climbing.
