The standard trick is to have something in the foreground. Several of the pictures on Mount Rainier's Wikipedia page do this. For example, trees in the foreground: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Rainier_panorama_2.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Rainier_panorama_2.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nisqually_Glacier_0902.JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nisqually_Glacier_0902.JP... A settlement in the foreground: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Rainier_over_Tacoma.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Rainier_over_Tacoma... Whereas, something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Rainier_sunset.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Rainier_sunset.jpg is more abstract and doesn't give the same sense of scale.
