Highpoint Trip Reports

This page details my progress climbing the 50 U.S. State Highpoints. The list is chronological order, according to the date each peak was first climbed. I have not completed any of the trip reports yet - I've been spending too much time writing up my Colorado 14'er reports. When I have time, I hope to post some pictures and stories about this project as well.

A green link indicates that the trip report is complete. A yellow link indicates that the report has some limited information, but has not been completed. A red link indicates that the link is just to a stub page.

* Due to private property issues, I wasn't able to actually stand on the highest point, which is located about 100 yards south of the road. But the sign by the road is considered to count as an official visit by the Highpointers Club.
