nibotMt. Whitney, in California, is invariably described as the "tallest mountain in the 48 contiguous states," with Denali, in the middle of Alaska, being the tallest mountain in North America.
This might make you wonder whether there is something of intermediate height in Canada or Mexico, or whether the taller mountains are only in Alaska.
Indeed, it turns out that western Canada has plenty of mountains taller than Mt. Whitney, as you can find (of course) on Wikipedia's List of mountains.
I love the "List of _____" articles!
