For a major city, Los Angeles has some pretty sick mountains surrounding the city. The city is virtually bounded by the ocean on the west and mountains on the east. The highest point in city limits is 5,080 feet at Mount Lukens, which is also the elevation change from sea level in the city. Probably the largest elevation change within a major city's limits in the USA. The city is a combo of flat areas, hills, and mountains all spread together up against the coast.
Boise, ID
Denver, Boulder, Broomfield CO
Asheville, NC
Charleston, WV (I know it isn't anywhere near 100,000 but it has a wonderful skyline and is truly breathtaking)
Reno, NV
Anchorage, Fairbanks AK
Santa Fe, NM...highest state capital in the US...elevation at 6995' but the range is from about 6500 to 8000 feet depending on where you are in the city.
I've never been to Chattanooga but that looks like the only one with a "mountain" that you posted.
Pittsburgh,while a gorgeous city,is surrounded by low rolling hills that IMO can't pass for mountains.
And yes, I am well aware of Mt. Washington.
And the Alleghenies.
