you ever climbed up by foot or animal. I went up to a little over 11,000 feet by horse in Colorado a number of years ago.

I climbed Crane Mountain in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. 2851' elev.
That's nothing to you boys out West.

Think the highest I’ve been was 7500ft climbing from 6000ft in NM. Don’t think we were about 7000ft in the Sierra Madres in Mexico. And don’t think I went over maybe 3500ft in the PNW. One day I’ll hit the 10,000ft if I find turkeys that high.

Bow hunted for elk a little over 13000 ft in the San Juans. Have camped for weeks at 10,500. I live at 650 asl in Missouri.

Ol dad

San Juan’s are beautiful, rugged and majestic. I can’t remember the pass on the Million Dollar highway going through them but I believe the elevation on the road was around 11,000 feet.

I have climbed Mt. Shasta, which is about 1 hour south of me. The elevation of the summit is 14,162 feet. I regularly hunt the local bucks between 7,000 and 8,000 elevation. We live at 3,300 feet. One of the trails in the local wilderness summits at 9,400 feet elevation, I have ridden through that.

Altitude is not my friend. I live at 300"

Life begins at 10,000...

Jack

350 here you lowlander, Lol

I'm probably a mite higher but went low for safety. Was to lazy to look it up and went from memory. Now some of the state land I hunt gets up to around 900". You can't see where the glaciers stopped ther are amazing views.

Got up to around 9000 in CO learned about Altitude sickness then.

Hiked a mountain in Jasper National Park. 8,000 ft

12,018. Is Medicine Bow Peak on Snowy Range 25 miles west of Laramie Wyoming. That was a few years ago and I doubt I do it again.

14,410 summit of Mount Rainier, twice in the 1980's, planning to do it again next June.

12,215 in the San Juan’s elk hunting, shortly thereafter camped at 11,300 got severe altitude sickness and HAPE high altitude pulmonary edema almost killed me wont do again! Colorado off my list lol..

Camped around 9000 feet for elk in the White River National Forest in Colorado.

Depends on what base you count from...sea level, or solid base...

I half way drove , then hiked up Mauna Kea , Hawaii, in winter . There was snow all on the top, first time in my life I experienced snow, in leaving FLA. Go figure...Hawaii, not any northern state. Mauna Kea is , from its base, 33,500 ft , the tallest mountain in the world , above the Himmies. Above sea level, it is 13,803 ft.

It was a surreal day for me , in many ways. I spent most of my day up there, exploring around the observatories , and seeing neighboring islands far away floating in the sea.

As Jack says, life begins at 10,000 ft.

Hiked into these two a lot when I was younger. Pack sure gets heavy the last couple miles but its worth it. Camping on the side of the mountain is no fun. If your in good shape you get to either one in a day if you leave early.

Did this when I was 16, been 8-9000 hunting elk

Been in the Rockies in Colorado elk hunting. Seen 9500 ft. That took some getting used to.

Climbed Mt. Cook in New Zealand. I think it's around 13,000.
