HIGHEST POINTS IN USA

After seeing Lynn's photo of the highest point in her state of Kansas.....Mt Sunflower I did a search on all the states and found some very interesting facts.
Mt. McKinley in Alaska is the highest  at 20,320 feet above sea level.
Tennessee's Clingman's dome stands 6,643 above sea level.
Florida's Britton Hill is the highest point in that state at 345 feet above sea level. A major tourist attraction in that state I bet???
