Granite Peak Ski Resort is a ski area located in Rib Mountain State Park in the Town of Rib Mountain, Marathon County, Wisconsin, south of Wausau.
 It features 74 runs and 6 terrain parks as of 2011 and boasts a vertical drop of 700 ft .
 Granite Peak is the third tallest ski area in the Midwest, after Mount Bohemia (900 ft.) in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Lutsen Mountain (825 ft.) on Minnesota's north shore of Lake Superior.
 It is ten miles (16 km) north-northeast of Central Wisconsin Airport.
Toland is an unincorporated community in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States.
 The very small village is located on Pine Grove Road, east of Mountain Creek Campground.
 Michaux State Forest, the site of Laurel Lake, Fuller Lake and Pine Grove Furnace State Park lie a few miles to the west near the intersection of Pine Grove Road and PA route 233.
 Toland has a mailing address of Gardners Pennsylvania, because the size of the community doesn't warrant a post-office, nor an official incorporated name.
 What is now a sand pit operation was originally a clay bank mining operation that was the reason for the location of the village of Toland.
 Less than 50 people reside in the close-knit community, which was built for the clay bank company workers in the first quarter of the 20th century.
 The original community of Toland, Pennsylvania consisted of 11 duplex houses, built side by side along Pine Grove Road, with less than 0.17 of an acre of land to each.
 Additional homes have been built since.
 When the community was originally built there was only a common well with a hand pump for all of the families to draw from.
 Toland is less than 1/4 of a mile long, and it is located less than half a mile from the Appalachian trail crossing.
 The closest town is Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania located (3 miles north of Toland).
 The village is roughly 10 miles south of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, 7 miles south east of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, and 15 miles South of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
 The only business in Toland is the Cherokee Campground formerly known as the Tagg Run Campground.
 The campground restaurant is now closed.
 Toland Mission is a small non-denominational church that can hold up to 74 persons.
 It was originally built by the owner of Beetem Lumber Company in Carlisle for the families of the community of Toland.
 A one-room school house near the church originally served the community, but it was converted to a home when residents' children were transported to a township school.
 Local people in Toland usually travel to the town of Mount Holly Springs for necessities such as gas, food, and toiletries.
Granite Peak is the highest mountain in both the Santa Rosa Range and Humboldt County, in Nevada, United States.
 It is the eighteenth-most topographically prominent peak in the state.
 The peak is located within the Santa Rosa Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, about 12 miles north of the small town of Paradise Valley and 23 miles southeast of the small town of McDermitt.
 It is the highest mountain for over 80 miles in all directions.
Modern-day Río Santa Rosalía in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur was originally named Río Santa Rosalía de Mulegé, the same name given to the Spanish mission in the town of Mulegé.
 The river empties into the Gulf of California.
 The name of the river has been shortened to Río Santa Rosalía, and likewise the name of the town has been reduced to simply "Mulegé."
 Another city grew about 30 miles north of Mulegé because of a large copper mining operation.
 This city borrowed the name Santa Rosalía and it is likely for this reason that "Santa Rosalía de" was dropped from the name Mulegé.
The Liberian-American-Swedish Mining Company (LAMCO) is a defunct Liberian corporation that mined for iron ore in the Nimba range in Liberia.
 Founded in 1955 by American and Swedish investors, the company established the first large-scale mining operation in Liberia following the discovery of the Nimba ore body by geologist Sandy Clarke in the 1950s.
 A standard gauge railroad approximately 250 km long was built, linking the mine in the north of the country, to the Port of Buchanan.
 The Nimba project was managed by LAMCO, Bethlehem Steel and the Liberian government.
 A nationalization policy was introduced to gradually phase out the non-Liberian staff.
 In November 1989, LAMCO was taken over by LIMINCO and under a ten-year contract managed by AMCL.
 Operations were disrupted, but never damaged, several times beginning in September 1990, and were halted in January 1994 when ships were no longer willing to pick up ore at the Port of Buchanan.
 Soon after operations were halted, LIMINCO's sites at Yekepa and Buchanan were pillaged which continued until 2004.
 Today, the former LAMCO mining operation is being reactivated by Arcelor Mittal.
Granite Peak, at an elevation of 12807 ft above sea level, is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Montana, and is the tenth highest state high point in the nation.
 It lies within the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, in Park County very near the borders of Stillwater County and Carbon County.
 Granite Peak is 10 mi north of the Wyoming border, 45 mi southwest of Columbus, Montana.
McDermitt is an unincorporated community straddling the Nevada–Oregon border, in Humboldt County, Nevada, and Malheur County, Oregon, in the United States.
 McDermitt's economy has historically been based on mining, ranching, and farming.
 The last mining operation closed in 1990, resulting in a steady decline in population.
Gulkana Glacier is a glacier that flows from the ice fields of the south flank of the eastern Alaska Range.
 It is accessible by gravel roads from the Richardson Highway near mile post 197 at the Richardson Monument, just two miles north of Summit Lake and 12 miles north of Paxson and the junction with Denali Highway.
 Closer to the glacier, a suspension bridge allows pedestrians to cross over Phelan Creek.
 Wildlife includes moose and bears.
 The peak of a hill just southwest of Gulkana Glacier has a post labeled "PEWE 1975".
 The Arctic Man competition takes place near Gulkana Glacier every spring.
Wegner Peak is the local name of an unusual porphyritic biotite granite peak of volcanic origin, located next to the Big Sandy River south of Signal, Arizona.
 This visually striking high point rises abruptly above the Big Sandy River valley near Hackberry Canyon, and is edged on the eastern side by a raised alluvial plain.
 The peak stands out due to its honey-gold and pinkish white colors which contrast with the surrounding local terrain.
 The peak is 3.5 miles SSE of Signal, Arizona.
The Idarado Mine was a gold mining operation in the San Juan Mountains of Ouray County, Colorado.
 The mine is within the Sneffels-Red Mountain-Telluride mining district.
 The remains of the operation are visible from the Million Dollar Highway, north of Red Mountain Pass, between Ouray and Silverton, Colorado.
 The tunnels of the Idarado extend some 5 miles (8 km) west under 13,000 foot (4,000 m) mountains to the Pandora Mill near Telluride, a trip of more than 60 miles (100 km) by highway.
