The Highest Points In All 50 U.S. States
The adjacent map of the USA (Hawaii and Alaska not included just yet) has the 15 state high points I visited colored in red. It reminds me of coloring in the electoral college map during presidential elections! :) Below is a section for high points I have visited and enjoy an array of semi-interesting and amusing You Tube videos from various high points. As I find helpful information on the Internet about highpointing topics, I will include them as well. Thank you so much for visiting. Please introduce yourself on the High Point Forum if you have questions, comments or to give a trip report. This site was created on August 19, 2008 - It is a work in progress. All the best,
