The Tallest Treeless Mountain


This is a picture of nearby Rattlesnake Mountain in Washington. It is the tallest mountain in the world. Wait, that's not right. It is the tallest treeless mountain in the world. The whole world? Ok, maybe it is the tallest treeless mountain in the Western hemisphere. Maybe it is just in North America. Perhaps it is the tallest in the "lower 48" states. Anyway, what a claim!!! I have read each of these claims about it being the tallest treeless mountain in the world, the Western hemisphere, North America, and the "lower 48" at different places in brochures and on the internet. I also read that it has an elevation of 3,630 feet, 3,600 feet, and 3,560 feet. You would think with such a significant claim that those making the claim would get it right. I guess it goes to show you that it's not really that significant of a claim.
