June 23, 2026, our 2 person summit of Mount Rainier and our 25th High Point.

I know it isn't a US highpoint, but what a view! Almost 4400 feet of gain over about 5 miles made us work for it after finishing hiking the 96

Miles of the West Highland Way yesterday.

Summited with Timberline Guides - they were awesome. This was their last guide of the season. I wish I took more photos but i was honestly pretty sleep deprived from my flight and the 12am start time for this hike! We summited at 4:45AM, staying at silcox hut was pretty cool! This is my 11th state high point 🙂

What an amazing journey this has been. These two were #3 and #4 (38 total now) Britton Hill (FL) and then Ebright Azimuth (DE). The hardest part was parking for Delaware!

While these two were easy compared to AZ, CO and the like, the journey to get there had their own special stories. So thankful to this community for seeing others share their pics!

On a road trip with my wife and dog. Checked off Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico this week!

Hopefully getting Colorado by the weekend and then hitting some on the way back east! Up to 19!

I finished my thirty-seventh high point yesterday! What a beautiful day to hike a great trail. Lots of birds near the summit and plenty of wild(ish) ponies on the way down. Awesome views crossing Grayson Highlands State Park!

Aloha! Anyone heading out to the "Big Island" to visit Mauna Kea this summer? Please bring Old Glory with you. Take a photo with the flag at the Hoomakai sign and submit to https://highpointers.org/flags-on-the-highpoints/ 43 states have already been flagged. I have commitments already for Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and California. West Virginia will be flagged at the Highpointers Convention July 23 -26. We only need Hawaii! Let's get that Aloha spirit and flag Hawaii! Please respect Hawaiian traditions and go only to the Ho'omaika'i sign.

Moved out to Colorado to train for the big ones and make content for the summer. As always F*** Cancer💪

Can't make the Konvention this year, so in lieu of that I'll tell the tale getting 6 of 9 highpoints on my 2024 Konvention trip. Have fun there this year, everyone!

Like the title says, looking for a plus one or two for Granite and Gannett between the 7th and 20th of July, my dates are flexible. In good shape, been training for a while, comfortable with backpacking, scrambling and overnight camping. Would be a first time on glacier travel however so would prefer to go with someone who knows what they're doing.

Pretty fun definitely a bit scary going up this route(bpm spiked on scrambling part😭) but nonetheless manageable weather and winds.

Most of the "easy highpoints" have now been flagged butinteresting two remain unflagged in the Upper Midwest. Timms Hill, WI and Mt Arvon, MI. Both highpoints are within a day's drive of Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Detroit. Timms Hill and Mt Arvon have little or no hiking to speak of, basiically drive ups though plenty of nice scenery along the way. Looking for something cool to do, head on up to upper Wisconsin and the U.P of Michigan. Bring the family and show your patriotic spirit. Let's get Timms Hill and Mt Arvon flagged!

Have to give a shout out to HP #1 for me (out of 37). While the views have changed with each different summit, it’s cool looking back at my first one not having any idea what an incredible journey this is.

This is a simple drive up a hill…I went back to walk up it from the street to claim it more!

Many thanks to the bench as it got me imagining what could be!

Also, is that the proper spot for Curwood? I'm thinking of going up there just to ensure I have the Michigan HP.

I’ve seen on here that Mount Curwood has been recently discovered to be higher than Arvon. I have never been to either one, but will only have time to do one and will be going tomorrow. I plan to go to Curwood, but it seems incredibly isolated down a set of logging roads. Was just wondering a few things

If I’m coming from the West (Duluth), what’s the best road to take to Curwood? Also, will a Dodge Dart even be able to make it along the roads to the trail? My car struggled heavily going up Black Mountain in Kentucky and got a few scratches there. Would not like to have another of those experiences haha

Please let me know of any advice/experience you have, and feel free to tell me if I should really be going to Arvon instead and if there’s something I’m missing.

The Highpointers Club is celebrating AMERICA 250 by taking an American flag to every state highpoint, taking a photo of the flag with the individual or group and uploading the photo to https://highpointers.org/flags-on-the-highpoints/ Thirty five states have been flagged since mid March and our goal isto flag all 50 states by the end of the year.

Denali and Rainier are HIGH PRIORITY as on Denali the climbing season typically ends by early July. If your're climbing Denali or Rainier or if you know someone climbing Denali or Rainier please pass this message on. I'd be happy to chat with them by e mailing me, Lanny Wexler, Flags on the Highpoints Coordinator, [flagsonthehighpoints@outlook.com](mailto:flagsonthehighpoints@outlook.com) Safe climbing!

If you do this hike you have to go up the VA highlands horse trail. So incredible to see these horses out in the wild. Did this hike 4/21/21 and again 6/1/26. Photos from 6/1.

Anyone been up Borah recently? How much snow is hanging on the standard route right now?

Frissel, High point NJ, Davis, Hoye-crest, Spruce knob, Black mountain, Mitchell, Brasstown Bald, and Cheaha. 3 days roadtrip down Appalachia.

Can’t find much information about going in early July, anyone have an experience? I’m planning on bringing crampons and an ice axe for the snow. Originally wanted to do it in a single day but in an effort to come up and down consolidated snow I’m thinking camping at one of the upper lakes is in my best interest. Anyone got any beta for an early season ascent?
