No - it’s Mt. Sassafras, but I honestly haven’t even spent much time in the Upstate. I don’t even know how easy or difficult it is to get to. I’d say “maybe that’s something we should do this summer!” but I suppose we’ll have to wait until after the baby’s born.
I’ve been on the highest summit in Connecticut which is Bear Mountain at 2,316 feet. However the highest point in CT is on the CT-Massachusetts border near the northwest corner of the state. I forget what it’s called,
Second no for Ontario.
Out of curiosity I checked the lowest point which is Hudson’s bay and again I’m a no.
South slope of Mt. Frissell.
One of my favorite hikes; I’ve mentioned it here before. You start in MA, cross into CT, climb Round Mountain, cross back into MA, get to the top of Frissell, descend back into CT at the state’s high point, continue west to the NY-CT-MA tripoint, and you can cap it by climbing Brace Mountain, the highest point in Dutchess County NY.
I have been to Frissell, perhaps obviously, and also to the summit of Bear Mt. (on snowshoes) (yes, it was winter). Also the high points of five other states. But not my own (yet).
I was at the top of the memorial on Mt. Greylock for about 20 seconds before I found out that I’m claustrophobic and had to run back down the stairs while having a panic attack. It was impressive though. I very much preferred looking at the view from the base of the tower though.
Yup, hiked up to the top of Mount Whitney with friends years ago. Got altitude sick which is extremely unpleasant.
Made the trek part way up and then had to go back because my friend’s daughter was having a car issue and needed rescuing. I never did make it to the top.
Nope, neither here (Mt. Hood), nor in Alaska, where I was born (Mt. McKinley).
I’ve done the walk several times to the top of Mt Kosciuszko (2,228m). It’s the highest point in NSW, and in Australia too, if you exclude the external, offshore territories.
It’s not an especially difficult walk.
When I was a kid we hiked up the highest peak in Missouri, near Johnson Shut-ins, and whose name I totally can’t recall. ::looks it up:: Taum Sauk?! I…don’t think I’ve ever heard that before. Maybe it was called something else in the early 80’s? Anyway, we’re talking like 500 feet.
Here in Oregon that would be a much taller order. Does Timberline Lodge count?
Mt. Magazine, Arkansas. Drove there to take my new truck on its first road trip.
At 5960’ it’s higher than the highest point in 32 states.
Not the highest natural point, nor the highest man-made point (Charles Mound and Willis Tower).
I haven’t even been that close…but I think I’ve seen it through the window of an airplane…
I have been to the highest point natural point( MT. Katahdin) but I don’t think the owners of the highest of the highest man-made point would appreciate me going up there( It’s a TV tower)
I can’t be the only one here who’s driven to the top of Mt. Washington (New Hampshire).
Summited Marcy in the Adirondacks numerous times as a child. Likely carried the first time, in the 50’s, and once in winter on skis with skins(1971 or 2). Jerimoth Hill in RI in the 70s (whaddyamean, no trespassing?)- but had likely been to Breezy Hill, prior.
Sunrise, too, on Mt Rainier, 1982. Looked at Mt Whitney;) from Death Valley, but have never lived in California.
I go to the highest point on my property, elevation 453 ft, regularly.
Well…I drove past Mt Whitney a few years back on US 395. Also, I took a California History class and our prof claimed to have climbed Whitney, so that’s got to count for something.
I’m only a few miles from Hoosier Hill, the highest point in Indiana (not that it’s all that impressive). I’ve also climbed all over the Indiana Dunes hills around Lake Michigan, mostly in my youth, which probably come close.
Yes, Mt. Cheaha in Alabama. 2,413 ft.
