Mount Snow is a great place that is not too challenging yet has a variety of terrain.  Its a big mountain but you are able to ski and see it all.  Killington is a lot bigger but has many trails.  Check out Stratton which is a beautiful mountain, Okemo, Smugglers Notch (challenging terrain).  Those are in Vermont.  New Hampshire and Maine also have great big mountain skiing.

Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the world's tallest mountain from base to peak! Its base is on the sea floor and it rises 33,480 feet (10,314 meters) in total, while Mt. Everest which is located on the border between Nepal and China, not in India like the person "Student" said.  Mt. Everest from base to peak is 29,028 feet (8,848 meters). Mt. Mauna Kea beats Everest by 4,452 feet (1,466 meters). It's true that Mt. Everest reaches the highest, but it's not the tallest.

A mountain is an elevation in the earth's surface. The elevation, or altitude, of a mountain is given as the height of the summit above sea level. Mountains are much bigger than hills. Most of the time they are made up elongated ranges. It is rare when a mountain stands alone.\n\nWhat is the difference between tallest and highest? Tallest: the top is the furthest away from the base. Highest: the top is the furthest away from sea level. There are three ways of measuring the height of a mountain. So which mountain is the tallest? One way to measure a mountain is by measuring from sea level. The second way is by measuring from base to peak. The third way is by measuring the distance from the center of the earth to the peak of the mountain.\n\nMt. Everest, on the Nepal-Tibet border in the Himalayas, is the highest mountain on earth. It is about 8,850 meters above sea level. height was confirmed in December 1983 during a surveillance mission by the space shuttle Columbia. Mauna Kea, or "White Mountain"a volcano of the "Big Island" of Hawaii, is the tallest mountain on earth. It measure about 10,200 meters from base to summit. Chimborazo is a volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. It measures about 6,310 meters above sea level. When height is measured from the center of the earth, Chimborazo is tallest since it is located nearly on the equator, where the earth bulges the most.

On land, the longest mountain range is the Andes of South America which is 7564 km (4700 mi) in length.\n\nBut if including underwater mountains, mid-Atlantic ridge would be the longest, extending 64,374 km (40,000 mi) from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, around Africa, Asia, and Australia, and under the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of North America.\n\n(For the person that said the Himalayas, that would be the *highest* not the longest.)

I've been roaming around Arizona and New Mexico for the last 25 years and I've never even heard of a Flagship Mountain.\n\nIs it possible that you are thinking of 'Shiprock' the famous volcanic spire (the neck of an ancient volcano) in northwestern New Mexico (near the town of Shiprock)?  This is a large rocky tower that rises out of the flat surrounding land like some giant castle.  There is also a long stone ridge running out of one end (a geologic formation known as a 'dike').\n\nIf that is the place that you are thinking of, then the answer is that you can drive fairly close to it along public roads.  However, it is on the Navajo Indian Reservation and considered a sacred spot, so people are not allowed to climb on it (rock climbing would be the only way to get up on it).
