In my small Florida experience, terrain is more
interesting north and west which is not flat like most of
the peninsula.

Agreed, but those hills in northwest Florida are a long,
long way from being snow capped mountains. Florida's highest
point is only about 350 feet elevation.
 
I get occasional visits from a Florida cyclist who exceeds
5000 miles almost every year. His highest, steepest hills
are the freeway overpasses. He suffers on moderate hills
around here.
 

 
I agree that 'interesting' terrain, as I enjoy here, is not
at all 'daunting' or 'punishing' or 'grueling' as I find
mountains.
 

Hilly or mountainous areas is often how one gains height than the height
it’s self within reason, and some really interesting places that aren’t
particularly challenging but they are interesting.

For what it’s worth I’d probably would certainly look at some of Floridas
trails I’m very unlikely ever to get the chance.
