13,798 ft for me! I know you guys don't want to see snow but check out our summer on Mauna Kea. This is the highest volcano in the world and its actually over 29,000 ft. It popped up from the deepest ocean on earth.[;)]

We had quite a thunderstorm last night and I got called in for work this morning.

A classic toroidal display sometimes found in nature and often used in mathematics.

These cider cones were massive lava fountains.

During our last ice age Mauna Kea was covered in three thousand feet of ice.
This volcanic activity and ice cap created some very useful rock later used by ancient man. Adze.

Highest? Had to be from the 3 cups of punch at the Acid Test freshman year.

That's awesome and great pics!!! I drove up Pikes Peak but the highest I hiked was Mt Washington. I'm gonna say a near 6200. That was years ago, it may me higher or lower now.[:)]

Let's see, Cadillac Mountain, Mount Mansfield? Not sure. Has anyone hiked the Beehive in Acadia National Park? I figured, if Martha Stewart could do it, I could! Well, it is not high, but very steep. I didn't call it off though, the person with me was getting nervous, so we made it halfway up and came back down.
