How to specify the presence of a point of interest that can be found while on the way to another point of interest? [closed]

Solution 1:

There is a large mountain on the way to California.

There is a large mountain one can see on the way to California.

Both sentences are correct, technically. Each one is a bit awkward, in my opinion. The use of "one" should be spare at best. Why not name the mountain? If you want your sentence to sound as if it comes from the mouth of a tour guide, why not spice up the sentence with a few descriptive words?

Some suggested improvements:

• On your way to California, be sure to see the tallest mountain west of the Mississippi River: Mt. Rockalot.

• As you drive west on Route _____, be sure to stop and take a picture or two of Mt. Rockalot.

• Mt. Rockalot is a majestic mountain peak about 300 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

• A must-stop on your way to California is Mt. Rockalot, the peak of which is snow-covered nine moths a year.

• On your car trip west to California, plan to stop at Mt. Rockalot for at least a few hours.

• While traveling in California, you should check out the tallest mountains west of the Mississippi River (they are in the Sierra Nevada range, which is a chain of mountains along the California coast), the tallest of which is Mt. Rockalot, representing the highest elevation above sea level in the lower 48 states.
