Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from its base on the ocean floor to its summit, rising over 33,500 feet (10,210 meters). From sea level, its elevation is 13,796 feet (4,205 meters).
The highest natural point in Texas, United States. Here are some key details about it:
Elevation: 8,749 feet (2,667 meters)
Location: It is located in Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Culberson County, near the New Mexico border.
Geology: The peak is part of the Guadalupe Mountains, which are remnants of an ancient reef that existed 260 million years ago during the Permian period.
Hiking: There's a popular trail to the top, the Guadalupe Peak Trail. It's about 8.4 miles round trip with an elevation gain of approximately 3,000 feet. The hike is considered strenuous but offers spectacular views from the summit, including sights of El Capitan, another notable formation in the park.
2015-09-17 Mount Elbert (4,401m), Colorado - was our 3rd U.S. States High Point.
Tallest in Colorado – Mount Elbert stands at 14,440 feet (4,401 meters), making it the highest peak in Colorado and the second-highest in the contiguous U.S., after California’s Mount Whitney.
Easier Than Most 14ers – Despite its height, Mount Elbert is considered one of the easier "14ers" (14,000+ foot peaks) to climb, with well-maintained trails and no technical climbing required.
2015-09-24 Kings Peak (4,123m), Utah was our 4th U.S. States High Point
Highest Point in Utah – Kings Peak is the highest mountain in Utah, standing at 13,534 feet (4,125 meters). It is part of the Uinta Mountains, which run east to west rather than the more common north-to-south orientation of most mountain ranges in North America.
A Popular Backpacking Destination – The most common route to the summit is via the Henry's Fork Trail, a 28-mile round-trip hike that usually takes 2–3 days. It is one of the most sought-after peaks for hikers and backpackers in Utah.
No Roads or Easy Access – Unlike some high points in other states, Kings Peak has no roads leading anywhere close to the summit. The hike requires a long trek through alpine meadows, forests, and rocky terrain, making it a true wilderness experience.
