Interesting observation. A friend of mine is in town (grew up here) for the first time in many years and getting to the mountains was a top priority. It dawned on me that in all the time he was gone, I only played in the mountains a handful of times (excluding motorcycle trips....which is why the Rockies were created, of course).
Don't know why the mountains don't attract me (or other locals) more. I don't think I've ever had a bad outdoor experience, yet the mountains just don't hit the radar when I'm looking for something to do.
