MOUNTAIN CLIMBING and
HIGHPOINTING
in the United States
Peak
12055 in Colorado (For Climbing Information, Click Here)
Welcome to my website devoted to mountain climbing and highpointing. I have posted many of my own pictures from all across the nation. I am a member of the highpointers club, whose members seek to stand at the highest point in all 50 states. Each state has its own geography with unique landscapes. My travels have taken me from the flat coastal towns of the Florida panhandle, to the towering peaks of the Colorado Rockies. So get out of the city, take a nice long ride, and enjoy nature's playground.
To find out more about highpoints, visit the Highpointers Club. To view a mountain encyclopedia full of photos, trip reports and routes, visit Summitpost, especially my page on Warren Peak, Montana. To view more of my writing, go to my comedy page.
