This makes 21/50 for me and brings my season of State Highpoints to an end for the year. 12 states in 5 months has been one heck of a ride! Guadalupe is one of the easier ones, I think! …right up there with Humphreys, Mansfield and maybe even Marcy. You climb a mere 2,800′ over…
A Lovely Day on Longs
My wife has attended a conference in Denver every year in September since 2018. Coming from Utah, I have tagged along with her each time in order to hike another Colorado 14er. That was my plan again today, with Longs Peak being my peak of choice this year. The day was a beautiful one. In…
Panoramic Views from Panorama Point
Nebraska in da books! Full trip report coming soon…
Redemption in Kansas
If you recall, we went for the Kansas state highpoint back on Memorial Day and didn’t make it. It was now time for redemption in Kansas with some unfinished business to tend to! The highest point in Kansas is on a gentle slope… out in the middle of miles and miles of remote farmland….
Timp Traverse from North to South
My 10th summit of Mt. Timpanogos as part of a traverse from north to south. Headed up the northeast ridge of Timp to begin a traverse across the top from the North. Full trip report coming soon…

Mt. Marcy and My First of the Adirondack 46ers
New York’s tallest in the bag to wrap up my Northeast segment of state highpoints. That puts me at 18/50 and my first of the Adirondack 46ers. I also met a Summit Steward for the first time. Her name was Kia, who taught us about the sensitive vegetation at the top. Then instead of asking…
Appalachian Trail to Greylock
Another New England highpoint done, one more to go before this Summer Segment of State Highpoints comes to an end. What a great day on the Appalachian Trail to this tallest hill in Massachusetts. Full trip report coming soon…
Connecticut’s Rain Forest
Plans didn’t work out to do Wyoming’s tallest peak in August, so I went with plan B and did three good peaks back east with my brother-in-law. First up was on the south slope of Mt. Frissell where Connecticut meets Massachusetts. Full trip report coming soon…
The Highpoint Point in Ohio
The next segment of my Summer Series of State Highpoints continues in Ohio with Campbell Hill. This is 15/50 for me and 5/35 for my wife. Full trip report coming soon…
