The highest mountain in the United States is Mt. McKinley(Denali) in Alaska. In the contiguous 48 states, it is Mt. Whitney in northern California.

Measured from base to peak rather than from sea level, the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which would also be the tallest in the world using this measurement.
