Detailed description is The Presidential Range is a mountain range located in the White Mountains of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. Containing the highest peaks of the Whites, its most notable summits are named for American presidents, followed by prominent public figures of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Presidential Range is notorious for having some of the worst weather on Earth, mainly because of the unpredictability of high wind speeds and whiteout conditions on the higher summits. Because of the poor weather conditions, the Presidential Range is often used for mountaineering training for those who go on to climb some of the world's highest mountains, including K2 and Everest.Mt. Washington, long home of the highest winds recorded on the surface of the Earth at 231mi/h, is the tallest at 6288ft, followed by neighboring peaks Mt. Adams at 5793ft and Mt. Jefferson at 5712ft. The range is almost entirely in Coos County.Notable summitsThe highest mountains in the Presidential Range are named principally for U.S. presidents, with the tallest mountain (Mt. Washington) named for the first president, the second tallest (Mt. Adams) for the second president, and so on. However, due to a surveying error, Mt. Monroe is actually 22ft taller than Mt. Madison, which is not the correct order of presidents.
