nearby mountains
Visible ridge line
Mountains within easy reach of a particular location, typically close enough for day trips or visible from the area in question.
The phrase appears often in travel writing and real estate listings to suggest recreational access: The nearby mountains offer excellent hiking trails.
What counts as "nearby" varies—a few miles in some contexts, an hour's drive in others.
