>>2503314> way more peoplenope, you guys have fucktons of tourists year-round, I've literally been and there were chinese everywhere.
> way smaller mountainsquality>quantity... but still, some of those pics you posted liteally had smaller mountains than plenty of appalachia. a lot of the pics you see are not from the interior ridgeline of Appalachia where the tallest mountains are.
> way fewer animalsnot a chance, once again, I've been to the rockies. you can literally go for hours without seeing animals other than birds and other common shit.
pic rel is right down the street. you guys have to go gear up at REI, drive hours, and then LARP hike. in Appalachia, 8 year olds go down the street and climb shit like this without gear. not a tourist in sight, literally nobody but the small town locals. you can come within spear chucking distance to deer. the list goes on. every tiny town has shit like this, and this one is actually rather small compared to plenty of others.
