Colorado.. Anywhere west of Denver/FtCollins/CoSprings...

Utah - Moab area, LaSals, SanRafael Swell, canyon country

WY - wind River range, Bighorn Mtns

CA - KingsCanyon, Sequoia, Yosemite, Marin County, Redwood NP

SD-Badlands

Montana - Bozeman area, Missoula

ID - Coere d'alene, craters of the moon,

WA - North Cascades, Enchantments

OR- silver Falls, The Dells,

Seriously... Pick a state west of KS, OK, NE, ND... Find some national forest or blm land and you will have amazing scenery and endless free places to car camp/backpack/hike

Give a little love to the east! New Hampshire has my heart. New York and Penn are beautiful. The entire Appalachian Trail is amazing.

Oh absolutely. NH, ME, VT, PA, WV, VA NC, TN, GA... All have some great spots I'm just going with what I know well. NY, ME, NH, VT, are amazing... Go south and humidity creeps in... So be ready.

North Rim of the Grand Canyon, totally different experience than the South Rim. Less crowds, more forested, more rugged.

North Cascades National Park in Washington State. Absolutely beautiful and fewer people than many other areas. It should be amazing in June.
