Yes. Duluth is one of the most beautiful unknown cities in the US, even after the sad demolition of 250 old houses to make room for the Interstate. But, of course, you can't see the ocean from there.
Cadillac Mountain in Maine is the highest point within 25 miles of the Atlantic coastline in the U.S., and also the Gulf Coast to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

I heard of Duluth before but ever since knowing that it is a town with high mountains in front of Lake Superior I have a special interest of going there. I heard Minneapolis/St. Paul area is pretty hilly too. It looks like Minnesota is the most geographically diverse state in the Midwest, which makes me want to visit there. I have family living in St. Paul.

Inland central FL can actually get quite hilly. Check out communities like Gainesville, Ocala, Mount Dora, DeLand, Eustis and Tavares. You'll find low rolling hills.

for the majority of the earth's existence and up to a billion years or so ago, the largest mountains on earth and on which you could have seen all the world's oceans from, were in Minnesota and some of the oldest rocks in the world can still be found here. Later, earthquakes and volcanic activity changed the landscape and in more recent times glaciers, giant oxen and giant beavers all but leveled these massive mountains. Technically, the mountains are still here but just spread out a bit.

Reason: giant beavers not the regular sized ones
