The peak of Mont Blanc is 15,781 feet high, the highest in
Europe. All year long it is covered in snow and ice, so ice
picks are a necessity. The climb takes about three days but
could take longer. This trek requires a guide.

Overlooking Yosemite
Valley, Half Dome is
8,839 feet above the
ground. The final 400 feet
of the climb is a steep
slab of rock.
There is a ladder and
handrail to make the
climb safer, and it takes a
whole day for a trip up
the mountain and back
down.

4. At 19,340 feet, three inactive volcanoes make
Kilimanjaro. It is the highest peak in Africa. Porters
must accompany climbers on this hike, and it takes
five days to reach the top.
