No doubt. I've been on flat ground all of my life though, so to start climbing up mountains all day would have taken a conditioning curve... cutting into my paycheck. As several have pointed out to me in the past, I don't even know what a real mountain is!

No need to make the trip, the way it is going they will all be burned up before you could get here.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Someday I'll take a ride out to see what you're talking about. Please don't cut them all before I get there.

I don't think I do either... Tallest hill in NY is 5344, and we have 3, yes 3! different mountain ranges in the State.

I can google. But wanted to guess. As a kid my father told me to reply to a pen pal add put out by students down there. I remember they mentioned the Catskills mountains, so I remember that 35 years ago.
the anirondacks because my father Guided fellows from there, and one old fellow became good friends with my father. An old trapper near remsen. Eventually he passed away maybe ten years ago or less and I carried some of his ashes in the mountains home and poured them by an old camp. He always talked of those mountains since I can remember in the early 80s.
and the shawagunk mountains came to mind because my favorite book, “ the lure of the labrador wild” began from the idea of a man camping with his friend in the shawagunk mountains, about an exploration trip he wanted to take to uncharted labrador in 1903.
So I said those three. Would it be the appalachians? I’m not googling it. I’ll let you fellows tell me.

Mt Marcy still tops out at 5344, nothing compared to Mt Rainier! I've been up on a few here, excellent views!!

"Mountain height" is relative to the elevation above the surrounding terrain as I see it. It is called "topographic prominence".
Mt McKinley/Denali in AK is around 18,000 ft
Mt Rainier in WA is around 13,000 ft
Mt Elbert in CO is around 9,000 ft
