Back to presentation schedule

Many outdoor enthusiasts have a goal to visit each of the 50 US States, but have you ever thought about reaching the highest point in each state?  A growing number of people are enjoying the beauty, adventure and culture of visiting state high points.  From the park like setting of Florida’s Britton Hill at 345 feet above sea level to the glaciated heights of Alaska’s 20,320 foot Mount McKinley, to the incredible views on top of Vermont’s Mount Mansfield, each high point offers unique challenges and characteristics.  This session will explore how to get started, how to prioritize your climbs and resources available to make your journey a truly enriching experience.  Highpointing is great for families and avid adventurers new and old.
