There’s something about going to the highest point in every state that makes me want to just quit my job and travel full time. I am on the fence on whether I will actually get all the high points, but I’m certainly going to try!
I’ve added DC and the five major U.S. Territories to this list since they are part if the U.S, making a total of 56 high points! I hope you enjoy these highpointing journeys with me.
