Foothills
From Fiswiki
Foothills are geographically defined as gradual increases in hilly areas at the base of a mountain range.
They are a transition zone between plains and low relief hills to the adjacent topographically high mountains.
Many neighborhoods and communities found in such a location are termed "the foothills".
