Camel back Mountain = 15,168 inches (1,264 feet)

1 Penny = 0.061 (.0610) Inches

10 Penny = 0.61 (.610) Inches

100 Penny = 6.1 (6.10) Inches

1,000 Penny = 61 (61.0) Inches

10,000 Penny = 610 (610.0) Inches

-SOLVING-

10,000 Penny = 610 inches PLUS

1,000 Penny = 61 inches AND 61 inches x 5 = 305 (5,000 Penny)

100 Penny = 6.1 inches PLUS

10 Penny = 0.61 inches AND 0.61 inches x 6 = 3.66 (60 Penny)

1 Penny = 0.061 inches AND 0.061 inches x 8 = 0.488 (8 Penny)

-FINAL ANSWER-

610 + 305 + 6.1 + 3.66 + 0.488 = 925.248 Penny it would take.
