According to Wikipedia, the Sierra Nevada began forming during the Triassic period, and the Appalachians were formed during the Ordovician period. This means that the Appalachians are much older.

Generally, more round, rolling mountains like the Appalachians are older than sharp, jagged ranges like the Rockies or Sierra Nevada.
