How does your child define access? Do they want nature on campus, an active outdoor club, or many drivable options? What sort of nature? Paddleboarding, hiking, skiing, surfing, etc?
The same question needs to be answered for town. Does your child want to walk off campus and be in a cure area of town or does train/shuttle service to town work? |

Quite a few schools in Utah seem to fit this, actually Utah Tech is in a nice town and it is in the Southern portion of the state, on AZ border and not far from Las Vegas |
