LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Hiking the highest points in each state

When you come out to Rainier let me know :smile:

Come east, they are little easier to hike up over here...

I've been on the highest point in Florida. It's a very treacherous hike to the top. :lol:

I can only claim Mt Mitchell, N.C. as my highest hike at 6684ft. :CAMPING:

Of course, any peak outside of Ohio seems huge.

Make sure to post up if ya come out to NC, it's been awhile since I've been up to mitchel and i'd enjoy a revisit. More than just a few years ago I spent several months out on the blue ridge and did a bit of roaming, fishing, etc and a little bit of getting sprayed by a skunk lol

It only counts if you do them in the winter. For example, Mount Washington, New Hamphshire in the summer; Mount Washington in the winter:

Some might ask, “Why bother?” It’s a neat way to go see things and visit areas that you otherwise might not. In other words, if hiking every high point in each state is a way to travel and experience so many cool things, then so-be-it! And who knows, I might meet some cool LOST folks along the way.
