Santa Cruz, beaches, hiking places, no prob. San Fran, beaches, not so sure about hiking places. San Diego, hiking, lovely landscape, beaches. Portland Ore. no idea, ask Unknown Rabbit aka Violet. Ashland Ore. is BEAUTIFUL though and I know hiking places there plus plenty of landscape. Other than that I have no idea. New York... not so good on landscapes but has the ocean so I guess that counts. Plus some good views form the Empire State Building. (been to most of these places so yeah.)
