US State High Points

It’s always fun to climb to the top of something and, like a lot of people, we enjoy climbing to the highest point in each state. We haven’t ever been deliberate about this, it’s just happened a few times over the years. After tallying up our peaks though, we’ve realized we have been sooo close to several other state high points but didn’t know it at the time. We’ll work on that list on future trips.
