minus-square@athairmorlinkEnglish33•6 months agoThese elevations look highly exaggerated. The differences in elevation aren’t that extreme.
minus-square@bandwidthcrisislinkEnglish6•edit-26 months agoAbsolutely. You’d be able to see Colorado from most of the country if the elevation was to the same scale as the horizonal distance. Run Google Earth (the app or in the browser) and you can see how relatively flat it all is.
minus-square@bandwidthcrisislinkEnglish4•6 months agoThe proof is right there in the picture!!! Well. Okay. I admit it looks like a very bumpy earth. Nothing an iron can’t fix.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoYour comment made me think of if countries where people that had boob sizes relative to their peak elevation
minus-square@doingthestufflinkEnglish-5•6 months agoI mean its zero to 14.5k feet. Hike to the top of Mount Whitney and tell me again it’s exaggerated.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•edit-26 months agoFirst, it’s not zero. Denver is 5000ft ASL and it’s in a valley (towns around it are higher). There’s a slow elevation change across the Midwest to the Rockies. Second, Passes are a thing. Still, wagons crossing the Rockies is an amazing thing.
