How High is Mt. Kilimanjaro?
Mt. Kilamanjaro is 19,340 feet height at Uhuru Peak.
This is compared with
 | Empire State Building at New York: 1454 feet (102 floors) |
| Mission Peak in Fremont, California: 2517 feet (happen to be where Theresa and I did
most of our training)
 | So hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro should be a piece of cake since it's like hiking Mission
Peak 7.7 times--of couse there is this sticky business about altitude sickness... |
|
| Mt. Whitney in California: 14,497 feet.(tallest mountain in U.S outside of Alaska) |
| Mt. McKinley in Alaska : 20,320 feet. (tallest mountain in North America) |
| Mt. Everest in Asia: 29028 feet. (Tallest mountain.
| It's interesting that the Everest base camp is only 17,000 feet. So Mt. Kilimanjaro is
higher than the base camp. |
