Yes, you said "rather silly."
As if there are no real mountains in the LA area. I've climbed a few of them and I can say for sure... there are mountains in the LA area!

I said comparing them to mountains around Denver was rather silly. If you want to respond, to it do what I said, not what you thought or wished that I had said so you could have a snappy comeback.

What? Are you saying I did or he did? Since no one did or even come close, I really am not sure of what you're trying to say.

I think you are taking this a little too seriously.

Let's just say that on an absolute scale, the mountains in and around Los Angeles are definitely mountains. Geologically speaking, especially, in which a mountain is classified as a range in which there is a least one peak higher than 3,000 feet above sea level.
Even the Santa Moncia Mountains (barely) pass that standard with Sandstone Peak reaching 3,111 feet.

jaw dropping differences.
And to go even further, Mt. Lowe (5,074 feet) is only 31 miles from downtown L.A. and Mt. Wilson (5,710 feet) is only 34 miles.

I never said otherwise. Again, you seem to be responding to things other people have said or what you think I might have been implying (but wasn't) instead of what I was actually saying. I didn't read through 20 pages of LA vs. Houston and I don't even know how Denver or Colorado got involved. What I do know is when someone is comparing LA's mountains (not even the Sierra Nevada's, but the ones near LA) to the Rockies in Colorado, it's really not much of a comparison.

Well, if you want to compare the L.A. area, Mt. San Antonio (also known as Mt. Baldy) has an elevation of 10,064 feet and is only 48 miles from downtown Los Angeles.

But it's not just about mountains. The beach and the desert are all within a one or two hour drive from Los Angeles. That is not possible in Colorado. Not that I don't like Colorado, the scenery there is great. I just happen to appreciate having mountains, desert and beaches all in the same county.

Yes, it is great having three major features (mountains, beachs and deserts) in one general area.
