If you can’t see the forest for the trees, Los Angeles might only seem like an exclusively horizontal city. The fact of the matter is, however, that no city on earth has greater difference in elevation, from below-sea-level Wilmington to 1,544 meter tall Mount Lukens. Tallest in the county is Mount San Antonio but even the gentlest chains of rolling hills dwarf the tallest artificial structures most “vertical” cities stake their reputations upon.

If there’s a hill or mountain, solitary or within a chain, in Los Angles that you’d like me to visit, climb, explore, and write about, please let me know in the comments.
