Yes, by a few feet. I think the rock slabs to the right of the tower are the actual peak. I believe that the top of that rock (to your right if you're looking towards Coopers from the peak) is 4241.35 feet.Mister Moose wrote:The ground the radio towers sit on is lower than the peak.junior wrote: Not the top of the radio tower dopey.

Exactly. I believe that rock (or just to its right) is Killington Peak.Mister Moose wrote:

Some sources say Killington Peak is 4235 feet. Others say it is 4241. The difference is 6 feet. Both Geoff and Junior are about 6 feet tall. Coincidence?

Well that site is useless as there is not Geographic Skye Peak. On the Topo map the true Bear Mountain is where the top of the Skye peak area is and Bear Mountain is only a shoulder leading to Killington Peak.

Re: New Conspiracy
I'm sticking with 4241 being the correct elevation. It's Sushi Yoshi's phone number - 422-4241 - so it's easy to remember.

Re: New Conspiracy
How the hell do they not know how high their mountain is. If you go to the true peak or highest point there will be a marker that is a copper disk nailed to a rock this will tell you the height. I forgot what they are called but It was measured by the Parks department I believe.
P.S. I also hike so we use these all the time to see elevation since I don't have a GPS.
