Well, the mountains aren't very high but they can be quite challenging and rather pretty: e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opAWJnD0Jro https://www.youtube.

- dboreham 4y ago> mountains aren't very high Yes and no. For example Aonach Beag is 4049 ft above sea level. But it basically begins at sea level. By contrast Mt Cowen, one of the highest local peaks near me here in Montana is 11212ft above sea level, but the bottom of it is roughly 5000ft so not that much higher in terms of actual mountain to climb.
- arethuza 4y agoA fair point - I remember thinking that when I worked in Denver for a bit and visited the Rocky Mountains up past Estes Park and thought that the scale of the mountains top to bottom looked kind of familiar - just that the bottom was a hell of a lot higher than sea level!
