Think Acela. I can hop a train and be on Manhattan in a few hours enjoying everything nyc has to offer, then be back to enjoy my walkable city with mass transit
Why da fuq are people so very eager to downvote everything? It's your personal preference, affecting nobody else, and you are allowed to enjoy things!:-P
For nature, you could also drive from Yellowstone to Glacier National Park and check that out too. Utah has some pretty unique nature like Canyonlands, Zion, and Bryce Canyon.

Outside of my own city, I would have to say central New Hampshire is a hot spot for me. It might be my nostalgia, as friends and I made an annual ski pilgimage to North Conway for a decade.

I love the Jersey shore, especially going down to Asbury Park for an outdoor concert at the Stone Pony. I usually make a day of it and hang out on the beach for a couple of hours, then I grab a bite to eat on the boardwalk and maybe a couple of beers before walking right across the street to the venue. What’s really cool is there’s a couple of spots on the boardwalk you can see the stage from for free. At the very least you can hear the show free of charge, even if you’re too late for a free view.
I love almost everywhere- cities, plains, coasts, mountains. I'm in Texas and i like seeing the diversity in terrain, people, and general vibe you encounter in different areas.
