The World Is Studded With Artificial Mountains – Atlas Obscura
From atop the jagged mountain, cars, people, and houses appear as tiny versions of themselves, the noise of their day to day activity muted so high in the air. Scrubby vegetation grows from cracks in the rock, soaking up the sun and rustling in the slight breeze. Birds caw as they alight at the top of a slope, observing the expanse below them.
The mountain is just another part of the topography to those that live near it, but it is not a natural part of the landscape. The mountain is completely artificial, a colossus formed not by eons of geologic change but the vigor of industrial concrete production. Artificial mountains have sprung up all over the world, the result of hellish manufacturing processes, piled construction and mining waste, or in some cases built deliberately to add a humongous new feature to the horizon.

High Peaks
If I hike up Hoyes Crest, I can say I’ve been to the highest point in Maryland at 3,360 feet. Driving up Spruce Knob will get me to the highest in West Viriginia at 4,862 feet, and then I just have to hit Meyersdale PA to hike up Mount Davis to hit the highest part of Pennsylvania 3,213 feet.
