Firstly, I love your name. Second, I agree with everything you said, pretty much. Something about mountains and valleys have so much charm to them. I didn't know what a hoodoo was when I saw the word, but it seems like a smaller butte, which is really charming. Table landforms have my heart.

I envy you so much, I have never seen karst towers, but I stare at pictures of them often, it must have been absolutely beautiful to see with your own eyes.

I love the pictures a lot, they are reminders of how beautiful the steppes are. I would love to see some, one day!

I like caves! I'm actually surprised no one mentioned them before you! Whenever I think of caves, I start thinking of mining and coal seam fires, lol. Lava isn't the only thing burning below the surface.

I live in a very mountainous state, so I adore mountains :) I think if I ever moved to a state with no mountains, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
I also just really enjoy forests.
Also, basalt columns are freakin' cool. I wanna see some irl one day :)
OH
And cave systems. I could never go caving, but tours through caves are really cool. There's a cave system not too far from where I live that I've been too a few times. I've also been to Mammoth Colossal cave in Arizona ^^ That was cool.

bbgummi - Thank you! I was an adult the first time I saw the Rockies and I fell in love instantly. I grew up in the Northeast and had only ever seen the Appalachians which of course have their own fantastic history and charms, but there's some kind of magic in being in a valley and seeing tall, jagged peaks vs rounded mountains.
If you get a chance, look up the Bryce Canyon hoodoos! If I had to choose one specific place, that would probably be it.

Wetlands, caves, n cliffsides are my personal favorites!

I've actually never gone near a cave, funnily enough. I've seen very little geographically because most of my life I've lived in heavy density urban areas, so I can only imagine how beautiful Arizona is or how magnificent the cave was.

Oh sweet, I love the Appalachians, actually! I did a project on the Anthracite Coal strikes in the early 20th century and I kept nerding out about it so someone in my girlfriend's geology lab gave me a piece of anthracite coal, lol. I think about those mountains and general region pretty often.

THE MESA VERDE CAVE PALACE LETS GOOOOO I remember seeing that in a book and pogging out of my gourd, for lack of a better term, lol. I had a culture in my worldbuilding project that had lived in pretty similar conditions, they eventually got switched out with some other dudes who live on a steppe on a tableau, but I think I'll bring back a civilization that lives on cliffsides.

[font=american gothic][size=4]Mountains, cliffs, and caves! Call me a dragon but I just love tall things with holes in them. Also, I love cities carved into rocks, and rock-cut architecture. Petra in Jordan, anyone?

For water-based, wetlands wetlands wetlands. I love going to the wetlands and looking at all the creatures, especially the birds. There are so many birds.
And for climates, while I like oceanic climates, my heart shall always belong to Mediterranean climates! I mean, I grew up in one, so I am very biased, but still!

Glaciers, steppes, tundra, & deserts for me. I especially love polar deserts!! There's something I just really love about harsh, barren landscapes.
Did you know that the steepest mountain in the world is located in Auyuittuq National Park in Nunavut, Canada? It's just within the Arctic Circle!

Another arctic landform I like are tuyas, these funky flat-topped volcanos that were formed by eruptions cutting through ice sheets :D
Here's a picture of Hayrick Butte in Oregon:
