I visit Nevada frequently, Minden, Reno, Carson City. I could not live there. Although it is very beautiful, I am just not a desert person. Lake Tahoe is pretty but I worry about fires - those ridges have burned many times.

New Hampshire is very nice and I am considering it because we do have friends who live there and will probably stay there. But I am considering a few areas on the west side of the Tetons - Like Pocatello or Idaho Falls.
