It's been too long since I've seen heavy rain and woodland nature, but I'm really not sure where to go. When I lived on the East Coast, I used to take road trips all the time, but they seem like such a much bigger endeavor now that I'm in Los Angeles. Seattle could be fun, I know some cool people in Salt Lake, and I always have a good time in San Fransisco, but I'd love to go somewhere new.

West of the Mississippi, what destinations do you think are cool and fun that I might not be thinking of?
