America does need to come up to the mountains to deal with some issues.

The whole point is why the mountains, the land, still determines our culture. The mountains sort of drive how we live.

My whole thesis is that you can't understand America until you understand Appalachia.

The Mountains to Sea Trail is one of the premier hiking trails in America, and the sections along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina are especially beautiful.

The hallmark of the wolverine is its almost insatiable need to stay on the move. They go over mountains in Glacier National Park like we cross a street.

We need to try to live in sync with our geography.
