Most scenic mountain summit in the USA?

Mt Shasta, CA

Made it to the top of the south side of St Helens in the 90's and saw the blast zone but the blast kind of made the mountain less scenic

We "almost" made it up Hood and Shasta

Shasta is really cool

I am hopelessly biased toward Mt Whitney. Watched Joe Kidd way too much growing up and then all the drives up US 395 to Mammoth looking out at the tallest peak in the lower 48.

Mt. Throbber, home of the G&R Compound is pretty fucking spectacular.

Mt Worshington just has so much lore...

- Highest recorded wind speed in history for a non cyclone or tornado even at 231 MPH
- Site of the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944
- In the summer you can take a steam choo choo (RIP @AZDuck ) to the top

Mt Hood, OR

was a toss up with Shasta - both just stick out like a sore thumb, see Hood more often so it got my vote. Plus I know y'all won't vote for anything Oregon.

Driving to the summit of 14,115 ft. tall Pikes Peak is pretty awesome.

I shafted Colorado. In spite of their having like 50 x 14ers none of them are really speshial IMO. Most are pretty boring looking really.

Man, where's the Mt Baker, Pennsylvania love? That is one sexy mountain. Maybe the prettiest of the volcanos.

Very close to the same hike for me 13 years later.

Nothing special really.

Denali, AK

Mt. Rainier is a boss with more snow and ice than all the other Cascade peaks combined. But Denali is a fuckin' monster compared to the others on the list and will definitely fuck you up. A buddy of mine is a ranger on Denali and it's killing people all the time.

Cool mountains kill people. So that's why I voted.
