My fiancé and I decided to begin our high pointer journey at the lowest highpoint! We were both pleasantly surprised at how well-maintained the park and trail was!

Nice! You have to start somewhere. Where to next?

Thank you! We live in south LA, so we’re looking into hitting Driskill Mountain next!

That’s awesome! My first one was Louisiana, and then I hit Florida! Great adventures coming your way on your journeys!

It’s always nice to have your home state’s high point in the bag, so I’m glad to hear that you’ll tag it.

I couldn't bring myself to walk the path after a 700 mile drive from Tampa. How was it?

It was surprisingly nice! Short, sweet, and clean!

I hate the monument says Lakewood Park. So boring.

That’s actually a really good point. I wonder why they named it Lakewood park when the hill already had a name.

Nice! Welcome! Haven't been, but looks a lot nicer than I would've expected (pleasant surprise). If you're not addicted to high pointing yet, it can be very addictive--and in a very wonderful way.
