Treeline is at 4500-4800 feet in the White Mountains, and the climate above treeline is actually quite dangerous, much more so than the altitude would indicate. I hiked there a lot as a young man, and I have personally experienced 60+ mph winds, white-outs, freezing fog and a flash flood. Also, Pikes Peak, at over 14,000 ft., has a road to the top. Lovely photo, though! :-) On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 6:04 PM, Jay Burleson <leica at jayburleson.com> wrote: > Thanks Herb, I'm from the west so it drives my cousin (born & stayed in > Vermont all her life) nuts when I call them hills. > A proper mountain shouldn't be drivable to the top. > > Jay > > > On Oct 6, 2015, at 9:57 PM, Herbert Kanner <kanner at acm.org> wrote: > > > > Nice shot.
