It's so cute when Americans talk about mountains.
The north east mountains are beautiful, old, wilderness. So crazy in places you can't even predict the weather. And if you're bragging about size, maybe try remembering the US is not the world.
Why is mauna kea measure from the bottom of the ocean but non of the ofhers are. Specifically everest
Hadn't noticed that. Perhaps it's because it's the whole island?
The Sierra Nevadas are no joke. If you drive through them in wintertime you are absolutely taking a risk, not only because you're driving on windy (if well-maintained) mountain highways, but you may get stuck in snow despite your chains and will freeze to death.
If you are lucky, a CHP or forest ranger may see you and help you out.
Heaven forbid you have engine trouble or run out of fuel.
I live in the Sierras and always keep a change of clothes, 72 hours of food and water (plus filter), a small pack, fishing gear and a radio in my car. You never know what could happen. I've had quick fishing trips turn into unplanned overnighters and had snow or fallen trees or wildfires block roads at all times of the year. We have exactly 2 roads into and out of our little valley.
May wanna add a camping saw or chainsaw to your kit.
DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS THROUGH THE SIERRAS!
STICK TO ESTABLISHED TRAILS!
But that Hastings guy said this route would save like 2 weeks!
Nah, me and my elephants will cross it, and they shall not expect it!
Ours are older and were taller.
The geographical feature that you have no control over is for losers.
What's that? Can't hear you, I'm a mile above sea level and breathing the freshest god damn air on Earth.
Up? Where all my smog goes?
Nice try, skylanders. I'm going underground, where the real fresh air is hiding.
They're both gorgeous. Why do we have to pit two queens against one another?

The thing about mountains is that they're all big when you're at the bottom of them
Mountains get so big because they have no natural predators.

I love my Cascades and the Rockies are majestic and impressive, but the Appalachians are basically the wizened old crones of mountains. They're weird and mysterious. They're full of forests and traditions and stories. They demand respect.
Also, listen, folks from the eastern Midwest are barely used to hills then having to drive through them is scary.

I love love love listening to my Western friends complaining about how much more difficult Appalachian trails are. See this creek bed? That's the trail. No pansy switchbacks to keep the grade nice. If there's a headwall, we're going straight to the lip.
A triple crowner once told me the hardest of the three trails physically is by far the AT, but it is the easiest logistically. The easiest physically is the CDT but is the most dangerous because of the logistical difficulties. The PCT is the nice middle ground
Thats cute.
Look at the danish mountains and despair!

Sky Mountain! a whopping peak height of 140m elevation. A hike so deadly that it is a time honored tradition to let our kindergarten aged children 'climb' it. Takes an afternoon (barely) and theres a small giftshop selling icecream and knick knacks on top of it.
Try and best that yanks! 😎
Sky Mountain? Then it's basically the same as the Tian Shan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The real difference between them is the trees.
Mountains in East Coast are generally older while mountains in West Coast are generally taller
