I'm a native West Virginian. It's called the "Mountain" State. And has the highest average elevation east of the Mississippi. However, the highest point is under 4900 feet, and most of the climbs are 2000 feet or less.

It pains me to say, but I think of the Appalachian "Mountains" as hills, albeit big hills, and the Rockies as Mountains.

(that said we have steeper climbs in the Appalachians than in theRockies, just not as long.)
