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".

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mt. Washington does not play around. Last year they had 8 HOURS of 130+ wind speeds on a day where the temperature at ground level was bone chilling -30 so the Summit hit the insane -101 for the wind chill. Still not even the coldest day they've had. The mountain has violent winds all the time but the views are amazing on a clear day.

I live in Ohio now but I'm from Maryland and grew up there. I miss the mountains! I used to actually see part of the Catoctin mountains from my back yard. Maryland has some of the most stunning and beautiful views in the northern and western parts of the state! Especially in the Fall when all the leaves have changed colors. It's also part of the Appalachian mountain range.

I grew up looking at Mount Rainier from a distance! I lived through Mount Saint Helens eruption! I still live in the area and if they ever say it’s going to erupt I’ll be packing up and heading to Montana!

Colorado has more mountains, big mountains, than Alaska, but above 12,000 feet, Alaska dwarfs Colorado!!

What about Death Valley, which is below sea level at 282f (-86m), or New Orleans which sits at 8 ft (-2m) below sea level. There are also several places in the US that are at sea level: 0 ft (0m)

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!

I live in Budd Lake NJ (Northwest NJ) and have been to High Point a few times. It is about 30 minutes from my house. I have some great pictures up where the obelisk is. You can walk around the whole thing. When you get to that area you can look out on each side & see Pennsylvania, New York & you are in New Jersey already. 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.

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.

Living in the West, my house sits at a higher elevation than most of the mountains up to half-way point. I'm on a bench, so I am on a slightly higher level than the valley (approximately 4000 feet sea level at my place and probably about 3200-3500 in the valley), but the mountains are at least 2000-3000 feet higher, and they are on the smaller end.

"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.
