That is a true statement except for one thing, in Cali when you're looking down from a mountain you can only see the top of the smog layer!
I'll add that after we descended off of Mt Whitney with the 13 day trek to get to Whitney - I remember getting out of my buddies Jeep in Lone Pine and "floating" across Hwy 295 pavement not wearing the 65 lb. backpack and drinking beer & eating pizza until we had to crawl to the motel next door and sat in the hot shower all night - & oh it felt sooo good!
