Mount Rainier
Rainier is one such mountain that takes up a skyline. On clear days you can see it just looming there from Seattle. Up close? It’s even more absurd. The glaciers are huge – 25 giant glaciers and more ice than all the other Cascade volcanoes put together. Then there is the Paradise (it is really called that) where the subalpine meadows are covered with wildflowers in summer.

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.
