FYI, those are the Appalachian Mountains, not the Allegheny Mountains.

@telamontamyrlin FYI The Allegheny Mountains are a specific subset of the Appalachian Mountains. You just want to be more general while I just want to be more specific. Check out the Wiki page on both for more info: "The Alleghenies comprise the rugged western-central portion of the Appalachians...."

@backpacktrot

No, read the Wiki more carefully. The Allegheny mountains eastern boundary is the Allegheny Front, which is out by Bedford and Altoona. The mountains you reference at the 7-10 minute marks would more specifically be referenced as the Ridge and Valley Appalachian, which begin just west of the Cumberland Valley. People in the area would be confused if you said you are going hiking on the Allegheny mountains. They would think you're going out to Pittsburgh.

@telamontamyrlin I have to thank you for paying such close attention to the details. This reminds me of struggling with some intense reading while trying to identify two or three mountain ranges among the nearly a dozen ranges of that part of the Coast Range between central California and L.A.. I could have made everyone happy by just calling everything the Coast Range (like the Appalachians), but not having grown up there made this task almost impossible. I will change it to Ridge & Valley.
