For instnce...
The high desert above Sedona on the Coconino Plateau North of Flagstaff & it's nearby Mountains - Navajo & Hopi Nations. Grand Canyon. 1979 & 1980.
It's extroidinary ! If you enjoy that type of landscape. I do, as well *as treasure my green tree-filled* NYC area; as I sit typing in a tree filled backyard.

Some people (not me) may want to visit the very flat Plain States.
The Rockies! (Been there, too)
