Montana is on the list! Someone suggested that we might like eastern
Oregon. Someone suggested Wyoming, but that maybe is too flat?

Much of Wyoming is high prairie. There are signs on I-80 when you cross
the Continental Divide but it's hard to discern exactly where it might
be.  You hit mountain ranges in the west including the Tetons. Even
Yellowstone, while definitely worth visiting, is mostly flat, at least
the more accessible parts.. Grand Teton NP is at the southern border of
Yellowstone and is where the fun begins.

Jenny Lake looks like something imported from the Alps. I waked around the
lake and up Cascade Canyon until the trail split. Very scenic. I was going
to take the boat back but there was a line and I'd rather be walking than
hanging around waiting. Jackson Hole is the southern entrance to the park.
I guess it could be fun if you're into expensive tourist traps.

My homo neighbour in spain recommended Jackson hole, so this is on the list of potential places to visit when we go. Yes, the wife told me yesterday, that it is a matter of _when_ and not _if_. I tried to offer her a puppy with the dark thought that it would stop us from travelling for 15 years or so, but no, she saw through that trick with ease.
Jackson hole is mentioned, I think, in the lovely comedy series Silicon valley, so if it is mentioned there, surely it must be a tourist trap.

The Tetons are nice but I've got some scenery much closer to home.

The trail to Trapper Peak is nowhere as intimidating as you might think.
Elevation is the major issue if you're not acclimated but it's not as bad
as the 14,000' peaks in Colorado. Oxygen is damn scarce on those. Your
mind thinks you should be walking faster but your body isn't willing.

Western Montana does seem like a good place!
