For example, people come through tours especially from Asia, Europe, south America and from all over the earth to Mt. Shasta. I have a friend who plays music for many of these tours by the way of sacred music in mt. Shasta especially during the Summers. He speaks and writes Sanskrit and can understand some languages like Tibetan and Hindi and Newari and to some degree Russian which are all Sanskrit based languages.
Mount Kailash is regularly circumnambulated by devotees of religions which consider Mt. Kailash a sacred mountain. And Mt. Shasta is considered a Sacred Mountain by At least 6 northern California Tribes of Native Americans as well and likely more than that. It is also considered a Sacred mountain by Buddhist Scholars, Tibetan Lamas and Monks of various Buddhist religions as well much as Mount Fuji is considered a Sacred mountain especially by the Japanese.
So, the idea of Sacred Mountains whether they be the Matterhorn, Mount Arararat or other mountains around the Globe that are sacred to different groups of people everywhere are important to people's spiritual lives worldwide and often people take pilgrimages to their sacred mountains worldwide one or more times in a lifetime.
One more mountain range is sacred to the tradition I was raised in which is the Teton Range of Mountains in Wyoming which is also near Yellowstone Park and other amazing places in that region of the world.
