Are we talking like hometown where we grew up? If so I lived in Newtown PA for 15 years so that's technically my home town...

Here you can see the foothills of the rocky mountains right on the northern part of town where I live. 30 minutes to my ski hill, or whitewater rafting, or hiking/camping, whatever... Also some local flavor and humor:

This pic, from the Internet, may seem fairly nondescript.
