the highest point is Mount Whitney at 14497 feet (4419 meters). Also interesting is it is only 146 miles from the lowest point in the US, Death Valley (282 feet below sea level)!
*** not including Alaska...
Many visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are interested in seeing Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the "lower 48" states. However, Mt. Whitney is on the east side of the Great Western Divide, a chain of mountains that runs north/south through the center of Sequoia National Park, "dividing" the watersheds of the Kaweah River to the west and the Kern River to the east. Because many of the snowcapped peaks in the Great Western Divide reach altitudes of 12,000' (3657 meters) or higher, it is impossible to see over them to view Mt. Whitney from any of the roads on the west side of the Sierra. The best place from which to see Mt. Whitney is the Interagency Visitor Center on Highway 395, just south of the town of Lone Pine on the east side of the Sierra. Highway 395 can be reached via Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park (open summer only), or by going around the southern end of the Sierra from the town of Bakersfield. There are no roads across the Sierra in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

Why do people think that Mt. Mckinley is in Washington?
I grew up in Alaska and now live in Washington and I can tell you, unless something happened that I don't know about, Mt. Mckinley is in Alaska in Denali National Park. I have been there, and it is pretty impressive. No question, it is the highest mountain in North America.

Mt. McKinley - Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. Why can't people spell McKinley correctly? There is even a spell check here.
