Average. There’s a shit ton of mountains (volcanoes) in Hawaii too and it does not take long to go from peak to beach.

Nevada is also the most mountainous US state in terms of the amount of mountain ridges / elevation changes, but that does not mean that the mountains are particularly tall. They have no 14ers, unlike Colorado, but less flat area overall

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...
