The whole state of Colorado seems to be vertical, even if
the eastern 1/4 is just a long slope from Kansas to the
granite range. But people think about the mountains and the
need to be higher.
In flat land areas pilots fly along safely and happy at
1,000 AGL, watching for towers and nude beaches/resorts. So
when a little hill is there, they run into it.

Perhaps if the first people to get to Arkansas had known
about the Rocky Mountains, they would have called the
Arkansas mountains BFHills, but when you die, does it matter
what you call the rock you ran into?
