Do you know the height of the tallest mountain in your state?  Your neighboring states?  Find out how much you know in this quiz below and be sure to share with your friends if you get a high score, and enjoy the photos taken by folks who have visited these high points.  Very few people have scored over 90%, and I personally can’t even remember all of the heights to score that high without cheating!

If you’re more familiar with the Metric system, keep in mind that 1 foot (ft) = 0.3048 meters (m).
