High atop the Rocky Mountains in North America and the Himalayas Range of Nepal were the elaborate headquarters of two teams diametrically opposed to the other philosophically.
Challengers Mountain was the secret retreat in the Rockies wherein Earth-One's Challengers of the Unknown were based through most of their careers. At this facility they housed their arch-foes including the League of Challenger-Haters. Several levels and chambers were designed specifically to allow the Challengers to research the anomalies they had encountered throughout their historic careers as adventures in superhuman science and events. 
Likewise, other supervillains were located in the Sinister Citadel of Earth-Two's Secret Society of Supervillains, where their roles were reversed and the criminal captured the heroes... the Justice League and Society. This base of operations, however, would only be temporary as the Supervillains were swiftly defeated... with this mountain retreat seemingly abandoned as its "secret" location was now revealed.
The Challengers of the Unknown had another base of operations, also in the Rocky Mountains, after its predecessor had been destroyed. This location had several specially designed floors and chambers (see picture to the left). This would become the more enduring location of the Challengers throughout their years of on-again, off-again adventuring.
Ultra-Humanite's second mountain headquarters, close to Fall Springs, Colorado, served as the mastermind's base of operations during his campaign against two of Earth-Two's greatest heroic teams. When he caused the Justice Society of America to fall under the evil influence of the Koehaha River, he sent the team off to defeat their offspring from Infinity, Inc. Stocking his underground locale with state of the art equipment, provided by the dimension traveling Monitor, Ultra nearly succeeded in entombing his arch-foes. Instead, his scheme was squashed and his base destroyed during the epid battle between the superpowered heroes who unraveled Ultra's sinster schemes once more.
