I'm talking about park spaces with the metropolitan area, and forests/recreation areas/hiking just outside of the metro, too. And I'm not necessarily talking about scenery or whatever--that's not unimportant but obviously some places are just blessed with natural beauty in a way that others are not. Mainly I'm just talking about volume--which place has more plentiful access to hiking, parks, etc. Feel free to rank the five places I've listed.

Charlotte by a long shot. It’s in a very pretty location. San Antonio has nice hills to the north and west.

San Antonio and Charlotte are the only right answers here.

These are all within the SA Metro or right outside of it.

I voted Charlotte. IMNSHO, the Metroplex has the worst natural setting of your choices. Mostly flat with inconsistent tree cover, and it's ridiculously hot and humid for 3-4 months out of the year. Indy is just as flat as DFW but has considerably more trees.

I have been to Indy but I don't know enough about it here.

Charlotte is solid number 1. Houston is solid number 2.

DFW is probably dead last.

Definitely not DFW unless you enjoy brain eating amoebas in reservoirs called lakes.

Charlotte would be my vote by a mile compared to the other cities on there.

Why did you put Houston ahead of San Antonio?
