@steeljawX Год назад

A little trivia and a little common sense will tell you the answer. The trivia is Florida is the flattest state. The common sense is they have a lot of beaches. Average that out of starting with beaches and them being the flattest state and you can get to the answer; which is "Not Arkansas".

5 generations of my family born and raised in Colo. We lived at 7500 ft. above sea level but one time lived in a different place that was over 10,000 ft. Anything you cooked needed extra lifting ingredients, food was hard to get done and always short of breath.

@Moraenil Год назад

Yup! Water takes longer to get hot (it boils at a lower temperature the higher you go), and you have to keep adding more flour to baking if you don't want your stuff flat as a crepe. What's really sad is baking companies only consider up to 6,000 feet for high altitude adjustments. My Mom called Betty Crocker once, not long after moving up to 8,600 feet for updated adjustments...the Betty Crocker representative said no one lives over 6,000 so they've never worked on that. Tell that to the people in the few cities over 10,000 feet, or the people who make the donuts on the top of Pikes Peak (14,115 feet).

Not only is California home to the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states (Mt. Whitney), it's also home to the lowest elevation spot in the entire country (Death Valley, over 200 feet below sea level). Even more stunning, both Mt. Whitney and Death Valley are located in the same county, Inyo County.

54 out of the highest 100 mountains in the US are in Colorado. And alternately, Colorado has the highest low point in the US at 3,317 ft. Its low point is higher than the highest point of 18 other states. I'm on the high desert plains at about 6000 ft. Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park said while building the road they had blizzards with winds in excess of 200 mph. Long's Peak in the winter will often have winds over 100 mph. You don't want to be there then.

Hello fellow Coloradan. I'm just a little higher than you at 6,276'. I was a little disappointed they didn't give am honorable mention of "America's Mountain" Pikes Peak at 14,115' since they're talking mountains, but I get that they wanted to just stick to the highest. I just couldn't help but keep laughing (and feeling a little sad for them at the same time) at the lower high points, thinking "I'm sitting higher than those areas right now," especially the ones called mountains, when I'm on a hill next to mountains. We routinely get winds gusting to over 50mph. I've had to stop decorating for holidays because decorations keep almost blowing away and I don't want to lose them. Can't even have potted plants or a bird feeder out cause they'll just blow away too.

@jewel1953 Год назад

I lived in a town that was just at the border of Colorado and Kansas, and it's pretty much all flat til you get to about the middle third of the state. Like if you didn't see the sign saying "Welcome to colorful Colorado!" (or any other signs indicating where you currently are) you could be forgiven for thinking you're still in Kansas 'til the mountains start appearing over the horizon.

The Mt. Washington wind speed record occurred when the jet stream (usually tens of thousands of feet up) descended very low one winter and gave them wind speeds normally only seen at 30,000 feet. Out west, we don’t call a hill a mountain unless it’s at least 10,000 feet, so it’s comical to see they call 500 foot hills “mountains” in other states.

@nonconsensualopinion Год назад

10,000 might be extreme. As a lifelong westerner I'd say 2-3k is "foothills" and above that is "mountain". As we saw in this video, most mountain peaks out West don't exceed 10,000 feet.

Its wild to take what is called "Dead Man's Pass" and its all sunny and you could almost mistake the clouds filling the valley for the ocean, and then you descend into fog, and pop out the bottom in torrential rain. Its a trip.

This! The area is beautiful and even if you didn't feel like hiking the summit, the basin below the peak at Williams Lake is beautiful and is a pretty simple hike, and still offers great views of Wheeler and the surrounding peaks.

For your question about what that was in the middle of the mountain in Georgia, I looked up the video and blew it up a bit so I could see it better. There looks to be some large machinery running around, so I'm going to guess that field has something to do with a mine in the area. In that portion of the US, they tend to cut the tops right off of mountains to mine coal and other minerals. It could also be a potash mining field or water reclamation, but my best guess is something to do with some sort of mining.

@janknight1005 Год назад

Just an FYI... California's highest peak, Mount Whitney is 14,495 feet above sea level. California's lowest, Death Valley is 280 feet below sea level. They are only 180 mile apart. That would be approximately a 3 hour drive from highest to lowest.

Yes, you can visit these high points as they are maintained for tourist visits. Most sell area souvenirs and some snacks. There are roads and parking places, but the higher the elevation, the longer the trip and you may want some snacks when you arrive. BTW, since there are no rulers tall enough to measure these areas, in the States & around the world, these heights are measured using the Mercator principle. This cylindrical map takes into account the roundness of the earth when measuring. The high points on private land, may or may not be open to the public. You'd need to speak to an area tour guide or there are lots of tourist offices that would let you know.

Look it up on Google maps then go down to street level you can walk up to the obelisk for the view as though you were there. It is really a great view in the Fall when the trees are turning . I have some good memories. The first time I went was with my boyfriend. We packed a few sandwiches & something to drink for a lunch at High Point. It was fun & beautiful as are you both.

We have an Eagle Mountain in TN too. Lol. The Blue Rdge Mountains and Smokey Mountains are part of the Appalachia Mountain chain which goes clear from Maine in the north into GA in the south.

Currahee Mt. is the south part of Blue Ridge.

@joeyhooper394 Год назад

It’s also the oldest mountain chain in the US.

I prefer the Sierras, or the Rockies.

@garycamara9955 Год назад

Actually the Rockies go from Mexico into Canada.

@15:50 "that's a big hike". While I can't comment on how long of a hike it is you have to remember just because somewhere is high above sea level doesn't mean it has much prominence which is it's elevation compared to the low point around it. Think Kansas where it's highpoint which is basically flat ground.

"I'm surprised Vermont is so high?" It means Green Mountains. We're at Vermont now in the video, so we haven't yet gotten to Mount Marcy in New York. I hope it's a good picture; that's my home town.

Yes its rock ,but when you get up high enough it's a different atmosphere and you'll encounter snow

Mt. Hood with my state. 11,000 feet up. Alaska has the highest point with Mt. McKinnley. Or I should say Mt. Denali

Have a great visit to England! I'm headed there soon as well.

@jamesstrickland517 Год назад

What find funny is the city I live in is on the great plains yet higher than most of the high points arround the country, we are at an elevation of just over 6,000 ft. above sea level.

Mt. Washington has some of the most brutal weather and winds in the country. Last winter the lowest recorded wind chill temperature was recorded on Mt. Washington. That temperature was recorded in early February of 2023 it was a temperature of -108.4 degrees Fahrenheit; this is also the coldest wind chill temperature recorded in the world. The record that was broken was also set on Mt. Washington.

Don't feel bad, most of us forget about Alaska too. LOL.

Mt Mckinley!

The neighborhood I grew up on is called “Heavenly Heights” and all our streets are named after mountains. I grew up on Alps Road, my best friend grew up on Mt. Everest, and we have Mt Marcy and all other kinds of fun mountain roads throughout the neighborhood!

63 peaks in Colorado have an elevation above 4,000 meters. Here in Colorado we love our "14-ers," or mountains exceeding 14,000 feet in height (58 of 'em) and we try to climb as many of them as we can. In fact, the lowest point in Colorado is still higher than the highest point in 18 states! Colorado has the highest average elevation of all the 50 states, including Alaska, and is closely followed by Wyoming and Utah.
