Mountains

The Pacific Northwest contains the Cascade Mountain range and is bounded to the east by the Rocky Mountains range. Out on the Olympic Peninsula near Seattle is the wild Olympic Mountain range, surrounded on three sides by the ocean. Oregon features the Pacific Coast Range, and northern Idaho is home to the Sawtooth Range, Bitterroot Range, Cabinet Range, and Selkirk Range, among the total of 80 mountain ranges in the State.

The largest mountain range in Africa is the Atlas range which covers much of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, in north west Africa. It's highest peak is Jebl Toubkal at 13,671 feet.

Mountain climbing on its own is dangerous, requiring advanced skills, courage and resourcefulness.

Climbing in Antarctica can be especially dangerous, given its extreme climate and the lack of any local facilities to care for you if you have any kind of accident.

it's in Idaho with it only being 122 ft.

Mount Washington is the tallest mountain in New England. It is located in the Presidential Range on the White Mountains in New Hampshire. It stands at 6,288 feet. It is accessible by by train on the Cog Railway, by car on the Auto Road, or by foot on the Appalachian Trail or Dry River Trail. If you hike, overnight stay in the summer can be pre-registered online or by phone at the Lakes of the Clouds Spring Hut.

The Coast Mountains mountain range lie on Canada's west coast. The Coast Mountains also extend into the United States in Alaska.

Mt Humphreys Coconino County 11 miles N. of Flagstaff.

---- ---- ---- ---- Another way is Airplanes and helicopters. But that is something totally different! ---- ---- Also climb up the mountain like Everest for an example, Camp 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Then the summit!

No, Expedition Everest (Disney) doesn't go upside down but it dose make you get that feeling that you are.

Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Tahoma are the tallest, but Mt. Baker is more well-known than Tahoma. Baker is the fourth largest. There are many more major peaks in Wahington, not just three.

About five and a half above sea level.

The park contains 850 miles of hiking trails.

The coldest month on Mount Everest is January and the average temperature on the summit can be anything between -30 Celsius and -60 Celsius. The warmest month is July and the average temperature for the summit is -19 Celsius. There is no point during the year that the temperature on the summit rises above freezing. During the dead of winter which is November to February, the summit winds are at hurricane force and can reach more than 175 mph.

Plenty of beautiful mountain ranges in New Jersey. The Appalachian Mountains skirt the northern part of the state, Kitatinny Mountains, Watchung Mountains and Preakness Range. All great places to hike and have an adventure:)

Don't you people have Google? May 16, 1975.

Mountains over 6,000 meters tall are primarily found in the Himalayas and the Andes. Notable peaks include Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), K2 (8,611 m), and Kangchenjunga (8,586 m) in the Himalayas, as well as Aconcagua (6,961 m) in the Andes. Other significant mountains exceeding this height include Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Oyu, all located in the Himalayas. These towering peaks are renowned for their challenging climbing conditions and breathtaking scenery.

It has often been said that Mt. Diablo in California has one of the most extensive views in the world. Though it is not even 4,000 feet above sea level, the view eastward is extensive because the earth's surface is rising to the crest of the Sierra Nevada even as the general curvature of the earth is downward. In time's past, when the air in the atmosphere was less polluted, one could spot the shining cap of Mt. Shasta from Diablo's peak, though a straight line between the two would pass through the earth. But because light bends downward as it moves into different layers of air density (unlike sound, which bends upward -- why is that?) the two summits are in a line of sight despite being below each other's horizons in straight line paths.

I would expect the most extensive views in the world to be from some of the highest volcanoes, such as Kilimanjaro or Denali or Chimborazo. Everest is visible from the distant lowlands of India, as well as from an extensive area of the plateau of Tibet, but much of its view also is blocked by other nearby high mountains. Mountains that dominate their region by being more isolated may have more extensive views than other higher mountains.

I would like to see a more definitive discussion of this question. Is there a computer program that can calculate view distances using digital topography and line-of-sight, while taking into account the refraction of light through the atmosphere?

Well, there are many very rugged mountain ranges in the U.S., and I have climbed in many ranges. Obviously the tallest mountains are in Alaska, with Denali/Mt. McKinley being the tallest. I personally think of rugged as steep.

Since there is no real "ruggedness" measurement, I will share my (unordered) list of very rugged mountain ranges/regions:

Teton Range in Wyoming

Absoroka Range in Montana/Wyoming

Lewis and Livingston Ranges in Montana (Glacier National Park)

Pickett Range (North Cascades National Park)

Southern Sierra Nevadas

In particular, Glacier and North Cascades National Parks have the steepest terrains I have seen anywhere. Check them out on GoogleEarth sometime!

Tbar = skier's ride - a question in the Sunday tribune magazine

The official Nepalese name for Mount Everest is Sagarmatha which means 'Mother of the Universe'

The official Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Qomolangma or Chomolungma which means 'Goddess Mother of the World'

it is the rocky mountain, coast mountain and the st.Elias mountain those are the three mountains in the western part of Canada. you guys look at the book where the map is next time thats where i found it

Highest is Borah Peak at 12,668 feet [3,861.206m], and the lowest is the Snake River at 1,710 feet [521.208m]

11,204 feet above sea level
