| | Unit Management Plan: Giant Mountain Wilderness Area (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | From the eastern boundary of Route 9, a few miles south of Elizabethtown, to the top of Giant Mountain, a horizontal distance of about six miles, the elevation change is about 4,000 foot, which represents the greatest differential in elevation per horizontal mile of any wilderness area. |
 | | Giant's Washbowl lies in a small depression near the 2,300 foot level on the lower south slope of Giant Mountain and has a surface area of about five acres. |
 | | The sharp col, referred to as Gusty Gap, between Giant Mountain and Rocky Peak Ridge is another attractive feature of the area. |
