I am new to Alaska and I know this sounds strange but I am pretty sure there is no accesible elevation. The mountains are huge but they all start at zero elevation and become snow bound very quickly. Just across the Turnagain Arm from Anchorage are mountains where the snow is at sea level still. I've heard that Denali (Mt. McKinley) may be "bigger" than Everest because Everest starts at a much higher elevation.
So as far as elevation I may as well be in Florida.
