Denali
You are not ready even after looking at photos. Do not take Denali as a place on a landscape – it is the landscape. The mountain creates weather patterns of its own. On clear days (which are not as frequent as you would think) it is this immense white structure, and the tendency of the sky to draw down over it. I once spoke to a pilot who does flightseeing tours and he explained that after hundreds of flights he still gets that chest tightening feeling when the summit is in sight.

Most Beautiful Mountain Ranges in the US
I will not pretend to have submitted all these. But I have lived enough to stare up at big rocks, to give an opinion about them, and I have done the research to support my opinion. So what is the criteria that differentiates between an ugly and beautiful mountain? That is the annoying part, and it is totally subjective. While some lose their sanity over the jagged drama of Tetons, others desire the perfect volcanic cone of Shasta. Me? I am a sucker to anything that appears different every time the light changes.
