John@proedie this might be a Southern California distinction, with hills and mountains available, but I think the difference is usually elevation gain.
That said, I've been on DTLA "urban hikes" where good fun was had by all.
@buckfiftyseven I would rule out elevation gain, because there’s mudflat hiking which is, well, flat.
@proedie mud! That would require rain, something we have little experience with.
(Actually it's sad, even state parks will close for a quarter inch of rain out here. I guess they don't want the blemish of footprints.)
@buckfiftyseven Oh, nonono! The mudflats are the tidal flats of the North Sea. You basically walk on the bottom of the sea. It’s a bit eerie, because you know you’d be three metres under water if you’d stay here until high tide. You really have to keep an eye on the time!
@buckfiftyseven There’s actually a Wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudflat_hiking
@buckfiftyseven So, your next holiday will be in Europe then? 😁
