Why do mountains look more impressive in person and pics don't do them any justice? Which ones have you been taken aback by, anons? Best ones to hike/visit?

I used to raft guide in Talkeetna and t was great seeing people's jaws drop when you told them the mountain they were looking at was still 130 miles away even though it looked like it was just on the other side of the river.

Several weeks at least.
St. Elias is 18,000 feet/ 5,489 meters and is pretty far north, so it would similar to a remote Himalayan peak with better air.
Also the weather on St Elias is the worst in the world.

I remember talking to someone who visited Rainier once. He mentioned thinking it didn't look to big in pictures and wanting to climb it in a daybuntil he saw it in person and didn't even attempt b/c he knew he wouldn't make it. Half of Americans can barely climb a 15 step flight of stairs, so climbing a 15000+ foot mountain would require peak physical condition for us.

The Pacific Coast Ranges (of which Rainier is a part of) are basically the North American equivalent of the Himalayas or Andes.
Pic related is the highest point, Mount Logan, which is around 19,500 feet.

Take the biggest man-made skyscraper you've ever seen, multiply it by 1000x and that's what it's like looking at a mountain. Also it was created by natural forces during the formation of the earth or some part of it's natural history predating humans, which on it's own makes it 1000x cooler than architecture.

Nope, perspective. In a photo you see the world/scene as it is, with a little forced perspective of items in the foreground.
In person your eyes and brain dismiss everything in the foreground or anything that doesn't fit 'what you want to see'.

First time I saw Mt. Rainier I couldn't believe it was real, shit looked like a holographic projection or something. It was surreal because it was July and a hot 80° summer day but it was absolutely covered in snow, over half of it was still snowy and the scale of it was indescribable. Like it was 50 miles away but looked like it was only 5. Towered above everything and you can see all 14,400 feet of it since you're at sea level.

Pictures capture the general shapes, but no the scale. That's the problem, and I think it's why the appalachian mountains get such a bad rap. They are covered in forest and have less jagged features, so they appear very hill-like in photographs, but they are very impressive when seen in person. I am constantly debating my friend from Colorado who is in the "Appalachians are just big hills" camp. I've been to the rockies, sierras, and appalachians, and I'd rank the rockies last. They photograph well, but there's just way less going on when you get up in the mountains there. Sierras have the best of both worlds imo, but I'll take going /out/ in appalachia over the rockies any day.

Ah yes, only flew over the Cascades but from the air they looked spectacular as well. Same thing there, not only were the peaks impressive, the ecology looked well developed too.

It's not that they have no forests, but they are of a different kind. They lack density, due to the arid and rocky conditions. The trees are spaced such that you could drive a vehicle through them, and there is a lack of any dense underbrush. The rockies have more spectacular geology, and larger fauna, but the appalachia ecosystem is richer overall.

I lived in Elkins, WV for a summer and worked at Monongahela National Forest. The mountains out there are great, small, but the rolling shape of the landscape and the virgin spruce forest (what's left of it) is absolutely gorgeous.

Your mountains are cool and the forests have their unique charm, but the scale of the western mountains is much more impressively vast. Also, the lushness of the forests is strongly dependent on altitude, so you can cover a large range of biomes in a day.
