If the desert’s not your thing, EA-18 and F-15E crews from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, and Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho often take their jets low down Visual Routes 1350 and 1355, which run through national parks in the beautiful Cascade Mountains. The routes are colloquially called the “million dollar ride” for their scenic views and fun flying. The routes are long, with plenty of mountains and hills in the National Park to stand atop. The area around Bumping Lake (and the Bumping River) underneath VR-1355 hosts a popular camping ground that pilots use as a visual reference. If you really want to get remote, vast parts of Nevada (north of Las Vegas) and Alaska (mainly east of Fairbanks) are reserved for high-speed, low-level flying, including even supersonic flight, which is normally forbidden over land.
