Excellent! That narrows things down and you can come up with a few specific questions to ask her to narrow it down further:
-- how far do we travel to ride? (Local, 1 day drive, 2, 3,)? -- Is she willing to have some extending climbing? If not, that eliminates a lot of places/routes. -- What is her adventure/hardship quotient? because the more remote, the greater the adventure but the more likely things are to be challenging in one way or ten. -- No matter the location, let her set the pace and distance, though constraints of water/camping spots, weather often force the issue and extend the day's ride/add to the adventure. She married you, so I presume she's fairly open to some level of "head scratching adventure." Grin. I'd suggest a huge part of the adventure for this is to plan/experience it together in a way that it is the first of many that hopefully get more refined as you bumble along! Grin.
