I personally describe this as hills although if you disagree, I'm open to challenges. I-84 in eastern Oregon.

They put the sign up with the shields swapped (notice that 9 is listed first instead of 35). They later sent a guy out to swap them to their correct locations.

I would personally refer to it as mountains, but I would just barely consider it so. I'd say it could still easily technically be called hills, so I'd say your entry is all good for the challenge.  ;-)

Regardless, it seems to definitely qualify as piedmont (foothills).

February 3: State Highway 3 is the longest state highway in Oklahoma. Post photos of the longest state highway in your state. (Wikipedia has a list.)

Oklahoma 3 crosses the state diagonally, starting in the Panhandle:



Northwest Oklahoma, like here in Seiling...


Through Oklahoma City...


And on to the southeast, like this shot from Atoka.
