Developer wants biblical theme park with Noah’s ark in Saskatchewan

That is SK in the Cypress Hills. You are looking at the second highest point east of the Rockies.

Yss, yes. I do know them. It is an ecological island. I'm surprised that they don't have kangaroos, there.

By tge way, it's the "higesst point" because the base of the hill is already a kilometer up. It sure as hell isn't the highest vertical.

Don't forget. There is also Mount Blackstrap.

Mount Blackstrap is a little pimple on the prairie of SK. It is entirely man made. I believe the only reason it may have any type of vertical is because when they dug out the lake in the valley they put the hill right at the top. So any height is the little height of the hill and the height of the valley. It does allow some downhill skiing in the winter (if it is still open -- still not much of a vertical for any serious skier).

Real mountains now aren't mountains? Far out.

Sent a pic once it has wheelchair access, until then this 'ride' is closed to the public.

I hear the lineup is for the rope that pulls you up the 'hill' as it is the faster ride.

Place I owned in Sayward was steeper than that. Those are like speed bumps.



But it did create a bunch of construction jobs. ANd the site is now ready for industry.

The highest point is still a hill when the base of it is a kilometer above sea level.

Jealous?

It's still a mountain.

Mt Robson is 1100m above sea level at base but still a mountain.

Robson is a mountain.The Cyprus hills are hills.

Both are mtns. Jealous?

So, the highest mountains in the East are in New England ... the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Adirondacks. Both are quite close to the sea, with their valley bases closer to sea level.

Mount Washington is at 1,917 m, and it is part of a chain of similar peaks. Mt Marcy, down in the Adirondacks is at
1,629 m, again part of a range of similar sized mountains.

Ths Cypress Hiils are at 1,468 m
