Mountain Ranges A-Z

[Bill O]

Okay, this should provide a little more challenge. Let's list mountain ranges from A to Z.

Some basic rules. Please know your alphabet and don't skip letters. That includes the letters we don't use very often. Also, you're not allowed to do consecutive letters. For example, if you guess D then you can't do E. Some people got a little excited last time and ran half the alphabet before anybody else got to play.

I'll start with:

Adirondacks

[Steve M]

Berkshires.

[Bill O]

Chugach Mountains in Alaska.

[Steve M]

Awsome answer, I've been to the Chugach National forest. I think that is where the Reserection Trail is that we hiked. 40 miles of heaven.

[hobbes]

Dolomites (Alps)

[Bill O]

Eastern Ghats, India

Just for fun I'll toss in the Ethiopian Highlands as well.

[Steve M]

Flinders, South Austrailia

[Bill O]

I'll blow off Vermont and go with

The Great Dividing Range, Australia

[Brad]

Himalayas east of Boston (post was too short with just the name)

[Bill O]

Inyo Mountains, California

[Steve M]

Japanese Alps

[Joey Keyz]

Kitzbühler Alpen, Austria

[Steve M]

Long Range, Newfoundland

[Bill O]

Mosquito Range, Colorado

[Patrad Fischroy]

If "Mount" doesn't count would the equivelent "Sierra" also not count? if so then Sierra Nevadas

[Bill O]

Oquirh Mountains, Utah.

[climbabout]

Panamint Range - Death Valley CA.

[Steve M]

good luck with Q, I can't think of one!!

[Brad]

I have been wandering around Quito, Equador and no luck on a range. There is a mountain called "Quilota" and a crater lake by the same name. The pictures look fantastic of the lake area!

I also learned there are exotic options called "Mountain Ranges". I will stay away from those.

[Brad]

There is one!

Queen Maud Mountains, Antartica

The Queen Maud Mountains ( 86°00′S, 160°00′W) are a major group of mountains, ranges and subordinate features of the Transantarctic Mountains, lying between the Beardmore and Reedy Glaciers and including the area from the head of the Ross Ice Shelf to the polar plateau. Captain Roald Amundsen and his South Pole party ascended Axel Heiberg Glacier near the central part of this group in November 1911, naming these mountains for Queen Maud of Norway.

Elevations bordering the Beardmore Glacier, at the western extremity of these mountains, were observed by the British expeditions led by Ernest Shackleton (1907-09) and Robert Falcon Scott (1910-13), but the mountains as a whole were mapped by several American expeditions led by Richard E. Byrd (1930s and 1940s), and USARP and NZARP expeditions from the 1950s through the 1970s.

The Queen Maud Mountains is divided into the following ranges:

* Bush Mountains
* Commonwealth Range
* Dominion Range
* Herbert Range
* Prince Olav Mountains
* Hughes Range
* Supporters Range

The highest peak is Mount Ellsworth at 2,925 metres (9,596 ft).

Do mountain ranges on the moon count??

Montes Recti, Earths moon.

[Brad]

The Rockies would have worked too. A wee bit closer.

San Francisco Peaks, Arizona

[Bill O]

Do mountain ranges on the moon count??

Montes Recti, Earths moon.

That's the easy way out, and the Rockies...to easy. They are made of hundreds of mountain ranges.

I'd substitute something like the Range of the Remarkables. Colorado and New Zealand.

[Brad]

So, Tetons is too easy for you too?

Tenmile Range, Colorado

[Gorque]

Uintas Mountains, Utah

[Bill O]

So, Tetons is too easy for you too?

Tenmile Range, Colorado

Of Course not, but Andes, Alps, and Appalachians are. Those are continent length chains of mountains that contain hundreds are ranges. All of which are viable answers.

[Brad]

The definition web page I am working with lists those "continent length chains of mountains" as ranges - that happen to have ranges in them.

The web page also lists all the mountain ranges in the world ...

[Bill O]

You're right they're all mountain ranges.

Venezuelan Coastal Range

Edit...now we're going to run into some problems....X

[Brad]

Wolf Mountains, Montana

[Brad]

York Mountains, Alaska

[Steve M]

Zagros mountains, Asia

[Bill O]

Skipping letters is for the weak. China is a gold mine for words starting with the letter X. Plus there's lots of leeway in the translation spelling.

Xinling Mountains, China

[Joey Keyz]

Zagros mountains, Asia
Starting back to A

Annamite Mountains, Indochina

[Gorque]

Bitterroot Mountains, Idaho/Montana

[Bill O]

Caucasus; Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan.

[Steve M]

DeLong Mountains, Alaska

[KD Talbot]

Don't forget Deshort Mountains in Alaska, too. Sorry, couldn't resist. I never been nowhere 'cept my Whites. Can ya tell?

[Gorque]

Kittatinny Mountains, New Jersey

[Steve M]

[Gorque]

Mendocino Range, Kalifornia (As the Guvernator would spell it) :D

[Joey Keyz]

I think someone needs to back to give us an "L".

[Steve M]
