I read that airports grate on people because there's an omnipresent chance of something occuring that's completely outside of their control, and that possibility is therefore always in their mind.
Nature, for me, is the antithesis of that -- things move and happen in the physical rather than the potential. And that's relaxing!

Whether that angry grizzly bear is going to attack you or not is just as much out of your control as anything that happens in an airport.
... security policies changing (shoes on or off?), repeated "ATTENTION, BY IMMEDIATE ORDER OF THE TSA" announcements, people doing dumb things, people being rude, baggage getting lost, flights being overbooked...
There's a lot.
Most of the time it works out, but that was the point of the observation: most can still be pretty stressful.
One way to make the airlines care more about your luggage and make it highly unlikely for them to lose it is to check a firearm as described in Deviant Ollam's famous talk on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfqtYfaILHw
