Sort By: It's the highest mountain in northeastern North America: 6,288-foot Mount Washington. Native Americans called it Agiocochook and didn't climb it, believing that its summit was the home of the Great Spirit. Giovanni da Verrazano was the first European to see it, from the waters off New Hampshire's seacoast, in 1524.
Surveyor's mark embedded in the observation tower notes the elevation of 6684 feet above sea level. The peak is the highest mountain in the United States east of the Mississippi River, and the highest in all of eastern North America south of the Arctic Cordillera. The nearest higher peaks are in the Black Hills of South Dakota and the highland foothills of Colorado.
