Maroon Bells
Alright, maybe at this stage, Maroon Bells is too famous. Situated near one of the beautiful small towns in the US (Aspen), every traveler and their Instagram feed has its photo – those pyramid-shaped peaks reflected off in the sparkling lake of Maroon. But here is the point: it is famous because it really looks like that. The symmetry we see here is like anything else you will find anywhere. It is this reddish hue of rock (iron and magnesium, to be exact in my view), and as the aspens change to gold in the fall… yeah. It’s a bit much, honestly. In a good way.

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.
