he "mountains" that are easily accessible from Portland's highest point is 13,249 and is skiable year-round.
And within the cities themselves:
Highest elevation: Portland 1,280' -- Philadelphia 39'
Not that this is a critical point or anything but I think I should note that the highest point in the city of Philadelphia is estimated to be approximately 485'. Location would be in the Wissahickon Gorge -NW quadrant of the city(Chestnut Hil).
Here are a few photos of mine . First couple are high above the gorge.
Council Rock- Where the native Lenape Indians held their pow-wows. Statue is to commemorate the chief looking west where the Lenape fled the white man.

Nice photos. Philadelphia has some good looking spots.
It's the most underrated city on this forum for scenery IMO, overlooked by Seattle, San Francisco, LA, San Diego, Denver, etc. And I'm Han, I obviously prefer Portland
