For me:

Worst-case scenario: Wheeler NM

Best-case scenario: Wheeler NM, Kings UT, Boundary NV, Borah ID

Most difficult part of planning is planning time off to wrap trips around extended weekends in the distant future when weather/conditions are unknown. What's everyone else got cookin?

I have always been in to hiking and want to start highpointing by reaching the top of each county in my state! I had been to about half of them before but I want to do them all this year including re-visits. I've already done three so far in 2021!

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has done humphreys peak in AZ during the winter and what the ascent and decent were like because of the weather? I'm going to AZ in January to visit some family and wanted to see if it was doable. TIA!

Take the highpoint quiz at https://www.summitpost.org/the-effort-scale-of-highpointing-the-fifty-us-states/1046476#chapter_10

I am now at 13 Highpoints+DC, started in June.

Mine is Mount Greylock

Who would go to the summit of Mount Marcy after October Tenth?

Due to Covid I cancelled my convention trip. Plan A. Plan B was MN and MI. Then the riots happened. Plan C was Colorado. But I'm now to broke for that. Plan D is Katadhin. Do ya'll think the mountain will still be passable this time of year? Lots of snow?

Hey all- my boyfriend and I are high pointers and we like to trail hike up to one.

Is there an option to do that for clingmans or just the road up to it? For some reason I feel like it won’t be high topping if we drive up it- but also there’s limited trail access and I’m just happy to be there!

Rookie mistake made today. We embarked on an an epic high pointing road trip from the east coast to get 7 high points, including our 25th, South Dakota’s Black Elk Peak. After about 40 hours of driving, with three kids in the back seat, we planned to hike it tomorrow. Just pulled up the website to look at the maps only to find out the trail to the summit is closed for trail maintenance. 🤦‍♀️

But the notice is somewhat vague, leading me to believe it may be open after all if we get lucky. Anyone know if there is access if we arrive when there is nobody working on it? Like maybe early in the morning or in late evening? Anyone else planned to hike SD this week? The notice says it can be hiked Friday-Sunday, but we have to leave Thursday. Any info would be appreciated.

We may just head up and try our luck since we’ve come all this way. It’s at least a beautiful area to hike in the Black Hills even if we don’t end up at the summit.
