In peak bagging terminology in the United States, the Southern Sixers refers to the group of mountains in the southern states of North Carolina and Tennessee with heights of at least six thousand feet (1829 m). The southern sixers are the tallest group of mountains in the eastern United States and the only peaks in the Appalachian Mountains besides New Hampshire's Mount Washington to exceed 6,000 feet. Most of these mountains are located in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (abbreviated GSMNP in the list), Mount Mitchell State Park (MMSP), along the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP), or in Cherokee or Pisgah National Forest. There are several, though, that are located on private property. All of these mountains are located within of the North Carolina - Tennessee border,〔Black Balsam Knob is precisely 31.48 miles from Brown Gap at 〕 with 12 on the state border itself and many more on various county borders. Those who complete a list of 40 of these peaks〔(South Beyond 6000 )〕 are awarded membership in the South Beyond 6000 club. The locator map below shows the locations of those Southern Sixers with more than one thousand feet of topographic prominence or considerable isolation. ==References== * (Peakbagger ) * (Tarheel High Points ) * (Tennessee 1,000' Prominence ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southern Sixers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
