I've often been told by those from "out west" that Pennsylvania's mountains are not mountains at all, but are barely "hills" and are more like "mounds."
Granted, they are not the Rockies, they don't soar into the heavens, but by God, they presented the early railroads with some of the steepest grades out of narrow valleys in the country!
Plus ... they exhibit Inimitable beauty!
I'm glad you got to see what so many from that area just take for granted, because they see it every day and to them it is commonplace.
