McKinley, Alaska - 6,194 - Highest in North America, second tallest (vertical relief) in the world, next to Nanga Parbat. Apparently Mckinley can be seen from as far as 320km away, but obviously only on extremely clear days. McKinley is also called Denali (which is what the SUV takes its name from, grrrrr)
Robson - 3,954m - Highest in Canadian Rockies, much lower than the two mountains above, but still monstrous when viewed in person.
Waddington (Coast Mountains) - 4,016 - Highest in BC, next to Fairweather (which isn't entirely in BC)
Citlaltepetl/Pico de Orizaba - 5,610 - Highest in Mexico, third highest in North America, and a dormant volcano
This one is sort've out of place with these North American pics, but I'm sure you'll forgive me. This is the Taksang Monastery in Bhutan (Nepal's neighbour to the east)

You should check out the Grand Tetons, a very beautiful place also
yeah I'va got some a background on my computer of them. Pretty awesome, for sure. I'll have to search for the coolest peaks in the US and Europe as well.
