Anyone who has attempted Denali: How did you train? While I feel comfortable with glacier travel from Rainier and Hood, I feel wholly unprepared for the length of the expedition, extreme cold, and high altitude—even with a guide service. Any advice is appreciated!

With My Buddy Joe!

Well, as usual I'm way behind in editing my highpointing vids, but, hey, throwback to warmer weather!

Mount Sunflower makes for a quick highpoint and is probably the only one with a little free library on site.

Question for anyone who has been there lately. How large is the lot at Black Mountain? Is it big enough for me to maneuver my small trailer? Is the road to the lot paved? I see some people talking about a one lane road-is this the "trail" to the summit? We are staying at Kingdom Come SP and would rather bring the trailer with us than have to go back to get it. Thanks!

Does anyone here have much info about these 2? They're the highpoints of Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley National Parks, respectively. I've Googled it, but because of how extremely remote it is, there's next to no info about the hikes.

Is Guadalupe crazy busy during Christmas? I camped and hiked it in January 2016 and had a lot of fun trudging through the snow. I was the first one up the trail but a Canadian passed me and we took pictures of each other a the summit. Took the family back through there for spring break in 2018 from Big Bend to Carlsbad but did not attempt the trail because wife was super pregnant with child #2. Now, child #2 is 6 and has 21 highpoints so we may try a trip.

Specifically, the NP HPs. I've been working on claiming those as well.

Doing a 4 day backpacking trip this November. Would be partial to something in the west , as I've done most of the major ones east of the Mississippi. Any recommendations?

Hey guys! I’m from Utah and am planning on doing the high points fromNew York to Maine down to PA in one trip next week any reports on conditions or people who have done it with snow?

Made it up to my 11th highpoint with my son on Saturday. Heavy snowfall the night before almost made this one a story for the recent thread on bailed trips, but once we reached the saddle the summit seemed doable. Time to start my planning for spring and summer 2025 trips!

I mostly just made this for fun to tell the story of my first year going at it. I made the map in OmniGraffle and then made frames of each point of progression on the map and animated those with a voiceover.

The observation tower was very crowded but the views were awesome

I flew across the country to do Mt Mansfield and Mt Marcy on a pre-planned itinerary foliage road trip, but I'm gonna have to throw in the towel on both with this freak winter storm that blew in out of nowhere. Sadly writing this from the town of Stowe nearby. Anybody else have sob stories of failed highpoint attempts?

As the name suggests, I'm looking for highpoints that are easily accessible from major airports that can be done in a typical 2 or 3 day weekend. I live in NM and have hit the low hanging fruit. I havent done any east of the Mississippi except Illinois.

I'm looking for places where I can fly, rent a car, and knock out one/multiple high points in a quick weekend trip.

Hi all,

I am considering hiking Boundary Peak next week and am concerned about driving to the trailhead. I will have a rented crossover SUV (Nissan Rouge or similar). The reviews I have read recommend high clearance vehicles and talk about a few sketchy areas. Very few of these reviews have been posted this year and we all know how weather can greatly alter a dirt road. Has anyone been up in that area recently? I intend to go to Trail Canyon TH.

I'm looking to go hike Mount Rogers soon and I'm looking for a tent campground. I love camping in more rugged areas, preferably with a nice view or something. I don't mind regular campgrounds either, ut does anyone have any recommendations for great campsites within driving distance of Mt. Rogers?
