wow. Decent trees & trout require a 3 hr. drive to Spring Valley State park, or southern Utah. There are giant trees & tiny trout on the back side of Mt. Charleston, but that is still a three hour tour by 4x4. Cold creek pond holds small trout in a small pond. It takes at least a year to get used to wide open spaces vs. trees. Some never do & become desert haters. Within 5 hrs of here you can do / see what ever you might want to do. Ocean with sunset (better than ocean with sunrise,) 5 National Parks -Sequioa, Grand Canyon, Kings something or other, one I forgot, and the best (and closest)Zion. Life is what you make it - mate. Good Luck!
