The tallest mountain or natural highpoint in every state comprise the U.S. 50 Highpoints. The tougher high points include peaks like Mt. Hood in Oregon, Gannett Peak in Wyoming, and Mt. Rainier in Washington. These are the 3 peaks you see in the banner photo on top of this page. Then of course there's Denali in Alaska at over 20,000 feet, which is in a class by itself. I have tried to concentrate on climbing the more difficult highpoints first, and picking up the easier highpoints if I happen to be in the neighborhood. Many highpointers climb by a peak by any means available, utilzing roads, chair lifts, and ever trains to gain the summit. For the challenging highpoints I believe in climbing the peak under my own power, so driving to the top or riding the train doesn't count for me. That's just how I choose to climb, I don't expect anybody to do the same or discredit another climber's personal standards. Trip reports and photos can be found by clicking on the mountain names below, hope they are helpful.
