Really on this side of the pass it's subarctic rainforest, which is distinct from boreal forest, primarily due to greater rainfall and relatively warmer winter temperatures.
Doesn't look too bad, but definently not taiga.

Half an hour up the road you're above treeline and it looks like this:
Those photos were spectacular, especially of the clouds.

Boreal forest/Taiga is just north of there:
The taiga looks best, but there seem to be a variety of types accessible from your area, which of course is a bonus for this thread.
Speaking of intricate branches, I love the way some trees look in the southeastern US for example, like in Louisiana plantations. They have an eerie look.
Maybe it's favorised by the warm and humid summers?

Very nice!
Antarctica (despite lacking vegetation of any sort) has some interesting landscapes as well:
I like trees. Spruce are my favorite, but fall colors are a must so some deciduous trees are good too.
Lakes and open prairie are pleasant because I get claustrophobic in the woods.
I like desert but it can be a bit too much sometimes. Maybe just a sand dune here and there?
I love Coconut Palms that look very lush, plentiful, with the coconuts on them like this video. This video makes South Beach look like a forest covered in palms which I loooovvvveee.

Yes, the majestic Live Oaks in the south can be quite spectacular looking with the massive branching. There are some in Savannah, New Orleans, and parts of North Florida than are 300 years old.
On that same note…another “eerie look”…can be found (where they haven’t destroyed the natural habit yet) in the deep and dark canals in Louisiana, south Georgia, Florida…etc: Several times I’ve taken a boat through the dark canals and it can be quite eerie looking and very interesting as well. The sides of the canals have towering Bald Cypress trees with Spanish moss hanging down, while the forest floor is a mix of wild scrub palms and saw Palmetto. Often if you look fast you might spot a huge Egret or alligator hiding behind the Cypress trees:
I think I like the look of southern subtropical vegetation the best (similar to wavehunter's pictures. Don't care for palm trees much.
I'm happy with northern vegetation, at least in the warmer greener season.
