    I love it all but some of my favorite spots are:
    coral reef around Oahu, Hawaii
    The desert in and around Sedona Arizona (red rocks)
    The alps/dolmites in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and Germany.
    Glacier and Waterton National Park (Montana and Alberta)
    The vast nothingness of the American west (wyoming in particular)


    Holy crap the Alps right??? 
    As a biome it isn't the most abundant or biodiverse anymore, but...damn.
    The Dolomites and the Austrian Alps kicked my ass, I still have dreams about those mountains years later.
    If I won the lottery I would buy a chalet somewhere in Eggental and move everyone I know there to run it and live like hermit kings.
    Many moons ago before kids a bunch of us stayed in innsbruck, austria for two weeks to snowboard.  We rode in st. anton and toured all around the area.  I'm not sure where we were (somewhere in Autria I'm thinking) but we took a ski  lift up to the top of the mountain and hiked down with some hand drawn map that a local drew us.  That hike totally kicked my ass!!  I absolutely loved the alps and Dolomites.

    If I won the lottery I would definitely move somewhere in that area.  I'm turning 40 this year and that area is on the short list of places to go with my wife.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Innsbruck!!  Ouch, you are hurting my heart lol
    The skyline the backs the golden roof is a knife edge ridge with a Kletterstieg route that my wife and I did.  Holy shit, that was amazing, right between the epic Trieste and Vienna shows on the '13 Euro tour. 
    Damn, my heart aches just thinking that it was the pinnacle of my life lol
