How do I make realistic mountains, hills, etc.?
I can't find a tutorial for this anywhere and whenever I try it sucks.

Displacements are created by selecting the faces you want to turn into "terrain" and going to the "displacement" tab in the texture window. Select "create" and choose one of 3 of the displacement powers available. 2 and 3 are best, try to avoid 4 as it's difficult to work with.

Otherwise you can stack some models of giants rocks like that
Personally I prefer this way to do my mountains because it's rendering a lot better than the displacement method.
Use these models, models/props_forest/cliff_wall_05.mdl and models/props_forest/cliff_wall_05.mdl.
If you want to do a desert theme with cliffs, you will be forced to use the displacements
