I love the mountains and am thinking of re-locating from flat Dallas to a city that is high up in mountains with pine trees. I dont mean a city surrounded by mountains, but one on the hills, and not a small town, but a medium to big size city.
Which would it be in the lower 48 states? I can't wait to dump these flat as ironboard surroundings.
