'''Mount Chiliad''' is a | '''Mount Chiliad''' is a mountain in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], located in [[Whetstone]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. Immediately to the north is the bustling city of [[San Fierro]], while just to the south, at the mountain's base, is the small town of [[Angel Pine]]. | ||
The Mount Chiliad name is reused for a [[Mount Chiliad in GTA V|similar mountain]] in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. | |||
== | == Description == | ||
Mount Chiliad is one of the largest and most prominent natural features in the San Andreas area, being very much visible from much of Whetstone and San Fierro. Being half a kilometer high, it is also one of the highest features in the state, towering well into the cloud layers of the sky. | |||
The mountain's terrain is largely treacherous with steep rock-faces and high cliffs, and has moderately dense redwood vegetation on leveled terrain up until two-thirds of the way up. Players can still scale the mountain via an extensive number of dirt paths that wind around the mountain and lead to the summit; these features are adapted for use in [[The Chiliad Challenge]] mountain biking races, which holds races that run through different routes down the mountain, one of which features North Shore wooden ramps. | |||
The summit consists of a leveled plateau complete with a view platform which offers panoramic views of the landscape below and also features a plaque that can also be used as a ramp to jump off the platform. Although the summit can be reached via a road vehicle, the highest point of the mountain is located further south and may be too steep for certain vehicles to scale. | |||
The mountain also features other minute details, such as a massive natural arch and a single cabin that serves as the hiding place for a witness in "[[Badlands]]". | |||
The mountain may be based on [[:wp:Mount Diablo|Mount Diablo]], which is of similar proximity to San Francisco/San Fierro, or [[:wp:Mount Whitney|Mount Whitney]], which is closer to Angel Pine's real-life equivalent Lone Pine. The name "Chiliad" is a term for the number 1,000, mostly used in religious text. | |||
