[QUOTE="WVRifleman, post: 948826, member: 35678"] They're not as high as the Rocky's but they range from 5,000 to almost 7.000 ft asl.. By a substantial margin, the highest peaks in the United States lie west of the Mississippi, from 20,320-foot Denali in the Alaska Range to the many mighty summits of the Rockies, the Cascades, the Sierra Nevada and the Great Basin ranges. But the loftiest mountains east of the Mississippi are still magnificent places: These Appalachian heights represent some of the oldest highlands in the world as well as critical bastions of eastern wilderness. The highest peaks east of the Mississippi all reside in the Blue Ridge province of the Southern Appalachians, most notably in the Black and Great Smoky mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. The top 10 are: (1) 6,684-foot Mount Mitchell, (2) 6,647-foot Mount Craig, (3) 6,643-foot Clingman’s Dome, (4) 6,621-foot Mount Guyot, (5) 6,611-foot Balsam Cone, (6) 6,593-foot Mount LeConte, (7) 6,571-foot Mount Gibbes, (8) 6,475-foot Potato Hill, (9) 6,417-foot Mount Chapman, and (10) 6,410-foot Richland Balsam. West Virginia Mountains range from 4,000 to 5,000 ft.......But, there is nothing gradual about them, the sun comes up 10AM and goes down at 3pm........There's a reason why we have one leg longer than the other....lol [/QUOTE]
