Explanation
In careful usage 'enormity' means extreme wickedness or a monstrous crime, not great size; applying it to a mountain range misuses the word. The sentence needs a noun for vast physical scale, which is 'enormousness'. 'Eternity' means endless time, 'extremity' means the farthest point or an extreme degree, and 'simulacrum' means a likeness or image — none describes the sheer size of mountains. 'Enormousness' correctly conveys the vastness that stunned the visitors.
