Most Utah mountains aren't that much taller than much of the Appalachians.

Also, this should be common knowledge to anyone who read Centennial by Michner

Also, if you're a cross-country cyclist.

Rocky Mountains are much more steep than the Appalachians. You talk about prominence but not

Valid point. The eastern mountains are older and more weathered
BYUMizzou

They think the Appalachians are 4 times older than the Rocky Mountains.

They think?

"Geologists believe." That better? Being pedantic on message boards is fun!

You know you can just state it as fact, right?

Well, sure, but if he said "you are pedantic", that would be a personal attack.

Is there any photo like this in the Appalachians?

No, because the eastern mountains are not in a desert and are lower elevations

Why does the skiing suck back East (generally speaking)?

What does vegetation have to do with your argument of size?

Cutting back the vegetation can give the illusion of more prominence
Mike Honcho

OTOH, much of the lack of vegetation has to do with height

Fair point but 1) I don’t want humidity 2) I want skiing 3) app state > Michigan

There are not as much but still ski slopes in the Appalachains.

The height of nearby mountains often meddles with other large mountains having higher prominence. For example,

Find me a mountain as dramatic as Timp in all of Appalachia. I'll wait

Dramatic? That's a new metric for mountains I've never heard of...

Spent some summer p-days hiking in the Presidential Range of northern NH. Some great mountains to climb.

I am not sure how prominence is measured but I basically live at the base of

It is because Timp is surrounded by other very tall mountains.

If you really want to talk about prominence of US ranges, California probably has the biggest ones

Your definition of prominence is not correct. It has nothing to do with base to

I went to the great Smokey's last month. Utahs mountains are significantly

Utah is very much a desert. Other parts of the country are more green for sure.

I think the impressive part of the smokeys is the extent of forest
TomPetty

Yes, but the amount of vegetation also makes them more hill like.

Canadian Rockies are even more impressive. Majestic like Utah w/ lots more green

Utah has 12 Mts. with 4500+' of "Prominence", the Eastern U.S. has only 4
