they’re barely mountains in the grand scheme of things - their highest point is only 1189m in elevation!!! but they’re beautiful & misty, & smell of eucalyptus & the smoke of fireplaces, & have excellent vintage stores & cafes & bush walks.
also,, most of new zealand. i’ve only really driven through most of the mountainous areas there but lordy lord. so stunning. i did go on an overnight bush walk in the foothills near arthur’s pass late last year & it was so spectacular - ferns & thick moss carpeting everything!!!!!
