They're both gorgeous. Why do we have to pit two queens against one another?
Mountains in East Coast are generally older while mountains in West Coast are generally taller
Some sign in iowa somewhere also says, "welcome to mount pleasant"
Where is the mountain, Iowa?
I love love love listening to my Western friends complaining about how much more difficult Appalachian trails are. See this creek bed? That's the trail. No pansy switchbacks to keep the grade nice. If there's a headwall, we're going straight to the lip.
The thing about mountains is that they're all big when you're at the bottom of them
Mountains get so big because they have no natural predators.

A decent number of the Appalachians have roads that go near the top.
So does Pikes Peak in Colorado, all the way up 14,000 feet.
That just means they have better engineers and braver drivers, or the mountains are older and they had more time
braver drivers,
I used to joke that there were no bad drivers in WV, you either learned how to drive or you fell twenty feet off the road and got impaled by a tree. Unfortunately, since I was a kid we've put guard rails on a lot of those places.
The real difference between them is the trees.
I love my Cascades and the Rockies are majestic and impressive, but the Appalachians are basically the wizened old crones of mountains. They're weird and mysterious. They're full of forests and traditions and stories. They demand respect.
Also, listen, folks from the eastern Midwest are barely used to hills then having to drive through them is scary.
I'm in Minnesota and I get super carsick just driving in Wisconsin. I've gone up the mountain on Orcas island in Washington and it was very beautiful but I actually thought I was gonna hurl. It feels just like those pirate ship carnival rides. I really don't know how people ride those without getting sick.
However the small mountains (more like big hills tbh) along the north shore of Lake Superior are fine and don't make sick at all for some reason.
Ah, yes. The Old Gods of Appalachia.

I've lived in several places, all FLAT. Whenever I visit a mountainous place like Denver, it always seems so weird that there are these mountains always looming over me. At least you always know which way is west.
I grew up in hill country and I cannot for the life of me understand how people live in the flatlands. It makes me physically uncomfortable.
what is the name of the "hills" in the southern midwest? what states do they cover?
The Ozarks I believe.
I live in Idaho. And I’ve heard if you flattened out all the mountains in Idaho. The resulting area would take up an space the size of Texas.
Nice to see a fellow Idahoan on Lemmy. Also, we should never do that lest we get another Ted Cruz.
Those mountains are literally older than bones
