It makes sense when you consider most high points are a part of a long mountain range (Appalachian, Rockies, etc.) So because the high point of the ranges are near the middle it means there is a gradual rise across several states to get to the range's high point. So it makes sense that in many states the high point will be just about as close to the state's edge as you can get (because the range is ascending slowly across the state). Not sure if I'm verbalizing that right.

4:37 Nice job on catching the proper high point of CT. There is some confusion at the slope of Mt Frissell is the high point where that nearby marked Bear Mountain is the highest peak. Both are great hikes as you can park on the road in between, exactly on the border of CT and MA and hike either way. The hike to Mt Frissell and on to the tripoint marker is excellent...

The fascinating thing to me is that we think of Earth as having soaring mountains (which it does, from our human perspective). However, its surface is almost entirely smooth from a cosmic perspective. Everest is 5.35 miles in height, which is an infinitesimally small surface variation when compared with Earth's diameter of 7,900+ miles. Our planet is smoother than a billiard ball.

Trivia: the greatest threat risk of Rainier is not the ash and lava of the eruption itself but the lahars that will come from the melting glaciers. Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous states. That combined with its proximity to large population centers is what makes it a Decade Volcano. But, boy, is it gorgeous.

In addition to Katahdin in Maine, the Appalachian Trail also passes over the high points of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Tennessee, and close enough to the high points of Virginia and New Jersey to be reached via short side trails. Also, the AT passes over Bear Mountain in Connecticut which is the highest peak, but not the high point, as mentioned.

My wife and I were driving in Florida when we seen the sign for highest point. Had to take a picture. Mount Magazine in Arkansas is a beautiful state park. Pack a lunch basket and head up there and enjoy the ride and view. Living in Kansas, I Jane never been to Mt. Sunflower but it is happening this year along with Oklahoma and maybe Texas. Great video, thank you and God bless you brother.

To say that the hike to Borah Peak in Idaho is strenuous is an understatement. You have to wake up at 5:00 am and it’s roughly 6-7 hours to the summit. There literally is a part of the hike called Chicken Out Ridge where a lot of people can’t make it past because you have to rock climb a little. It is sketchy as hell and the wind doesn’t help. Plan on the hike taking the entire day. Get good sleep.

I would say the same for Mt. Rainier. I've hiked up some of Rainier a few times, and the two major start points are Paradise and Inner Glacier. Last time I did the hike was Summer 2017, and while the first few hours is fairly easy, just long, low grade trails with a few switchbacks, humid flats, and rocky climbs, once you reach the basin of the White River, and you are actually in the Inner Glacier, it gets hard. The trail goes atop a thin ridge, one side falling into a flower field, the other into a rock field. The trail goes up a steep boulder field, and then abruptly stops at a snowy slope that goes up a long ways. I made it up about half way, making it the furthest I've ascended, around ~8,500 ft, all in a day, in standard hiking gear. Had myself and my dad persisted over the ridge, we would of made it to Camp Sherman, a small, rocky outpost built as a point of acclimation for those trying to summit Rainier.

Brasstown Bald is always a place I recommend when telling people places to visit in Georgia that are not in the Atlanta area. It is very accessible for folks that are not hikers, but the short trail from the parking lot to the observation tower is no joke. It may be paved, but it is a steep climb in elevation.

Mount Mitchell is pretty cool. Me and a friend climbed it a few years ago. By climb I mean that we drove up to the top and parked the car and then walked the few extra feet up. It was still a beautiful view though.

10:48 I’m currently going to college in Flagstaff and for the past year every day I’ve seen Humphrey’s Peak right in front of me when I walk around campus. It’s a real sight to behold, sometimes it’s enveloped in clouds, sometimes it has no snow at all, but most of the time it does and it’s a big skiing hub-I skiied there with my dad last Christmas. I might want to go to the summit one day.

In the last ten years I've done Mt Elbert in Colorado, Borah in Idaho, Hood in Oregon, Whitney in California, and Boundary in Nevada. Although I'm still climbing at 60 years old, Mt Rainier and Denali will go unclimbed by me 😥 They're both glacier climbs and I only do solo summits now.

Well yes, we are, but our geology isn't. The close juxtaposition of high and low is evidence of past crustal subduction. The Sierra Nevada orogeny was the result of a oceanic plate being subducted under the North American Plate. The oceanic plate was being formed by a mid oceanic ridge, which was itself subducted beneath the Sierra Nevada. The subduction/spreading center collision caused rifts to form east of the Sierra Nevada, thinning the continental crust and forming huge, sinking blocks of crust called grabens (whose number includes Death Valley)

Then again, would I need to stop in Idaho since I've not experienced it yet , sometimes I just want to flip a coin . What going on in yer neck of the woods , I've made friends here that I've asked what was on the mountain behind their home and had never walked on it or even floated or fished the river of Creek n front of their homes. The Smokies gonna have to let me go while I still can , beautiful yes but she knows there's more.

That final 5000ft jump to Denali is something else.

This is a great list and something to add to your 'bucket list' if you're so inclined to check these things off. Most of these hills/peaks are doable for the average [fit] person and it's something to consider. . . . I've been up to 5500m on some of the mountains in China, which is higher than all but one on this list. Once you're at that altitude breathing becomes laborious, and you begin to understand how difficult it is for climbers who ascend the highest peaks on the planet.

That's so cool Mount Mitchell is the highest east of the Mississippi River. Plan to hopefully move to Charlotte NC and I always wondered if the state had amazing hills or even a mountain or two, since I enjoy nature hiking 🙂

My one and only backpacking trip was up to Kings Peak in Utah. It was in August several years ago. The people that started the day before us didn't get to summit from a sudden hailstorm. We did walk on lots of melting snow, but luckily not right on the peak itself. Our day was perfect. Deer, moose, birds, fishing, cold fresh water and escaping the Summer heat! Good times. 1 down of 50.
