Most of our picks are sizable metropolises â Honolulu, Seattle, Minneapolis and Tucson â although others, like Missoula, Mont., have more of a small town feel. To make our list, cities had to be in or near great nature areas, ranging from Alaska to Florida. We picked places that offer opportunities to view abundant wildlife, and vistas of undeveloped land that inspire.
