“Crowds return to Cannon Beach.” Lol.

That’s not a crowd. [/quote]

um, are you under the impression that crowded beaches are an amenity?[/quote]

Generally, most beautiful places have lots of people who want to go.  You're gonna find a hell of a lot more people lined up to go to the Louvre than to the Indiana string Bean Hall of Fame or whatever[/quote]

lol I’ve seen the popular E Coast beaches. They aren’t beautiful - they’re just the only thing you know.

anyway I understand what OP is getting at in terms of activities. Out west (and I’m including places like Colorado and New Mexico) outdoor activities are just much more a part of life and culture than they are in the DC area. Before anyone whined about how they “love hiking,” let me tell you it’s just very different out there. [/quote]

But when you focus on that adrenaline spike you miss out on appreciating the natural beauty.  I've hiked both places, and much prefer the east coast, because I find it much more beautiful and peaceful. I dont need to be climbing uphill for two hours to finally get to some peak and look out over a mostly brown landscape to get excited.  I'd much rather stroll down a treelined, flat trail where my adrenaline isnt going a million miles an hour but it's gorgeous and soul-fulfilling.

West coast adrenaline obsessives seem to miss so much with their mentality.  And look stupid when they need the very basics of the human experience explained to them as a result[/quote]
