What are some of the tallest mountains in the US from their "base"?

From base to summit, not sea level.
Don't include Alaska

I think the Hawaiian Islands?
Edit: yep
Mauna Kea only stands 13,796 feet above seal level, but the mountain extends about 19,700 feet below the Pacific Ocean. Over half of it is submerged. That puts the total height of Mauna Kea at about 33,500 feet — nearly a mile taller than Everest.

Most prominent in the lower 48 is Rainier.
CO has 54 14'ers but only a few with real prominence.

For those that havent seen it, it starts at basically sea level and goes up past 14k'. It's pretty impressive.

Washington is well represented with Rainier, Baker, Adams, and formerly Helens.

How tall are mountains in Utah, Montana, Wyoming? It's easy to find highest from sea level, but now tallest from base in the US
I just read that the tallest in the smokies are under 6k feet

If you cut the trees down at the base the mountains look taller.

Had the same reaction a few weeks ago when I was in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.
Was only about 8000' up, but it seemed like a lot more because the valley goes straight up.

El Capitan in California's Yosemite NP may not be a mountain, per se, but it's a sheer 3000' cliff from base to summit.

The LSU Indian mounds that are really just the dirt that was dug out to build the LSU pool
