Guidebooks for each state highpoint

Using this Guide

Our mission is to help climbers achieve their goal of summitting U.S. highpoints. We share the best routes, gear, logistics, and recommendations to make each highpoint a successful adventure.

Each state is colored for its highpoint geography:

Flat
Hill
Mountain
Glaciated

Select a state to access its highpoint guide.

Tile maps make each state the same size to reduce some bias associated with traditional maps, like the Alaska effect. Although Alaska contains the largest highpoint (by over 6,000 feet!), it needn't dwarf other states 😊
