I like to take out-of-state visitors up to the local mountains, either hiking or driving up the Angeles Crest highway. As the elevation road markers tick past 5000ft, then 6000, then 7000, they'll sometimes blurt out "This is the highest I've ever been in my life!"

Indeed. Even long time LA residents have no idea the wonders that the mountains in LA have. I recently took a friend who has lived in LA for over a decade to Angeles National forest and she had no idea we had 10,000 foot peaks and alpine forests 45 min from Downtown LA
