All three are good. First choice out of those 3 would be Idaho. Hiking and mountains are what attracts me. As a place to retire here are a few, of many, possibilities:
Arizona
Somewhere around Flagstaff, maybe Williams, would be good - high and not so hot. Needs to be minimum 6,000' in AZ or else it's too hot IMHO. Land is affordable in some rural areas.
Idaho
I'd look around Sun Valley or Stanley. (Both probably too much $$ for me.) Stanley is cold in winter. Good hiking in that area. I'm not too familiar with Northern Idaho.
Utah
I'd try to live near the Uintah Mountains, or perhaps near Flaming Gorge reservoir. There are probably places in the hills east of the megalopolis (Ogden/SLC/Provo) that are OK too. Price, UT might be OK - a tad warm in summer, but probably not like AZ - lots of canyon country around there.
