I'm not sure where you're living that you haven't experienced easy access to countryside. It's always been in easy reach in the 7 western states I've lived in, even in the Bay Area and the very center of Boise. In fact, if the land wasn't set aside as agricultural land, it was pretty rare that it was fenced off, even. Granted, you do see fences to keep vehicles out, but that might be an artifact of our car-centric culture: if a path looks arguably driveable, eventually someone will try to drive it, regardless of whether or not they can get the vehicle out.

In CO I routinely see signs saying things like "This Property Protected by the Second Amendment" and "Trespassers will be Shot". I take such threats seriously. I've only walked onto such a property once. (It would have been very inconvenient not too, I knew that the person who posted the sign was lying about the area being off limits, I had very good reason to suspect they weren't on the property, and I'm usually read as white)
