Another question that this project is focused on is the different ways in which waterfalls and mountains are valued differently as well as how they are valued the same in other situations. This is how the government of Ontario describes and honors the Niagara Escarpment:

Designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990, the Niagara Escarpment is an internationally recognized landform and is the cornerstone of Ontario's Greenbelt. A landscape of rich biodiversity, home to hundreds of Ontario's Species at Risk, vital watersheds, agricultural areas and 450-million year old geological history, the Niagara Escarpment is a treasure to protect for future generations of Ontarians. (Niagara Escarpment)

Perhaps it is that waterfalls can be seasonal while mountains remain all year round. But for a mountain that is defined by snow as opposed to just by its being there or by its shape, it would seem that there would be a seasonal aspect to it as well: Just as a waterfall is only at its most majestic during part of the year, a mountain that is seen as best when it has the most snow and can bring in the most skiers, it would seem that Blue Mountain

Only some mountains and some waterfalls get their own names: Other waterfalls and other mountains remain anonymous. So what about a mountain like Blue Mountain or what about a particular waterfall like Niagara Falls make them worth getting a specific name? It is rarely the case that they are...

Is it that they seem more beautiful than others?
Such questions might seem trivial in the context of a geographical and social analysis of an area; however aesthetic attractiveness is one of the most important ways in which humans identify and identify with the physical, natural world. Any analysis of what has made Blue Mountain so attractive to people from the days of the first human habitation of this section of Canada to the present must place this analysis within a larger and more general analysis of what aspects of a landscape draw people to one particular spot on the face of the earth and not another.
