We don't have many mountains but lots of hills. A mountain here is anything over 600m but there's nothing over 1000m in England.

Well, obviously the Alps are known for their mountains, so that would be a bit boring. Where I live I see the Palatinate mountains, the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains.

Here is one of my favourite self-made pictures with a spectacular sunset sky. The mountains that are close belong to the Black Forest, in the background you see the Palatinate mountains where they melt into the Vosges Mountains. In between is the wide upper rhine valley, which, of course, you can not see in the picture.

And view from the Black Forest to the Alps:

At the moment there is an intense discussion whether a part of the Black Forest should become a nationalpark. This park would be about 45mins away from my home (Black Forest itself is only 25min away). I hope they will do it...

My country is very large and has many mountains... so I'll just post a couple that I've been to in my Area:


Steptoe Butte:p:

Schweitzer Mountain, I used to Snowboard here as a teen.

I also used to snowboard at Silver Mountain.

http://www.worldsnowboardguide.com/upload/images/resorts/silvermtn/4silver_trees.jpg






Mount Spokane, I like this photo because this was a common view I had as I was growing up. It sums up the area pretty well:

http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/mtspokane.jpg





These are the closest mountains that I currently live nearby, the Blue Mountains:

^^They're in the background.

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2298/2245531973_26c2cfcf13_z.jpg?zz=1


^^ Foothills of the Blue Mountains on the edge of town, I've jogged out past that red barn up a ways quite a few times.







I could go on all day posting pictures of mountains in this area, I better stop.

Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous US and part of the amazing Sierra Nevada's of California. I've been here a few times and wow it's amazing.

48929

I had the privilege of seeing this view for the 2 years that I lived in Seattle. Mount Rainier, a volcano in the Cascade Mountain range is a major Washington landmark.

48930

Mount McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America I believe and it's in Alaska but I've never seen it although it looks amazing.

Hey I've seen all those places before! You live in or near Southeastern Washington? I lived there for a year in a town called Dayton. It's pretty close to Walla Walla and I'd travel to see family in Spokane and Tri-Cities as well as Seattle. Maybe we're related since there aren't too many people out there lol.

Mount Rainier
Stratovolcano
Elevation: 14,411′ (4,392 m)
Last eruption: 1894

I get to see this beauty nearly every day.
It's always snowcapped. Magical in the summer.

Mt. Baker
Stratovolcano
10,781 ft (3,286 m)
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes.
I love its shape.

Mt. Shasta
A potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range.
14,179 feet (4321.8 meters)
I love the shape of this mountain also.
