I'm not sure, but they were much more like the Rockies or the Grand Tetons
than the Appalachians. Huge, craggy, granite, snow-covered cliffs, above
the timberline in many cases. Nothing like I've ever seen in PA.

Ah, the "timberline" (I usually say "tree line"); one of the defining
features of a "mountain" IMHO. People have tried to tell me there are
mountains to the east, but the ones I've seen look like the stuff
called "foothills" around places where there are *real* mountains (I'd
been exposed to the alps and the rockies and the sierra nevada before
I saw any of these so-called "mountains" out east, so I may have
gotten a kinda exaggerated definition in my head :-)).
