Highest Point in the United States

The highest point anywhere the United States is Mount McKinley, Alaska, measuring in at 20,320 feet (6,194 meters).

The highest point in the lower 48 states is Mount Whitney, California, which comes in at 14,505 feet (4,421 meters).

I found a cool map from Geology.com that shows the highest point for each state. Click HERE to see it.
