Book excerpt: The highpoints of the fifty states range from Alaska's 20,320 foot high Mount McKinley to 345 feet at Lakewood Park in Florida. Some highpoints, such as Mount Mitchell in North Carolina and New Hampshire's Mount Washington can be reached by automobile on a sightseeing drive. Others such as Colorado's Mount Elbert or Mount Marcy in New York are accessible as wilderness day hikes. Still others, such as Mount Rainier in Washington or Gannett Peak in Wyoming, are strenuous and risky mountaineering challenges that should be attempted only by experienced climbers. Whatever your level of skill and interest, Highpoints of the United States offers a diverse range of experiences. Arranged alphabetically by state, each listing has a map, photographs, and information on trailhead, main and alternative routes, elevation gain, and conditions. Historical and natural history notes are also included, as are suggestions for specific guidebooks to a region or climb. Appendices include a list of highpoints by region, by elevation, and a personal log for the unashamed "peak-bagger." Whether you're an armchair hiker or a seasoned climber, interested only in your state's highest point or all fifty, this book will be an invaluable companion and reference.

Download or read book Twins to the Tops The Highpoints of Canada s Provinces and Territories written by Eric Gilbertson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Can we stop for another breather?” I yelled up to Matthew. I was exhausted after wading through deep snow for the last three hours while making seemingly no progress up the steep slope. We were each hauling about 60 pounds of gear to cache higher up on the mountain, and it was tough work. We split the gear up between backpacks and sleds, but had to strike a balance – too much gear on our backs made us sink deeper into the snow, but too much in the sleds pulled us back down the slope. “Yeah, but now it’s your turn to break trail,” Matthew shouted back. It was Day 8 of our expedition on Mt Logan, and we had just ridden out a three-day storm at King Col at 13,500 ft. We were taking advantage of a brief clearing to try to haul some gear up and over the headwall, the steepest part of the King Trench route. But the storm had dumped a lot of fresh snow, and progress was painfully slow. -Excerpt from Mt Logan Report Long drives, short hikes, long hikes, bushwhacks, mountain bikes, kayaks, month-long expeditions, acclimation, helicopters, commercial flights, bus rides, bush planes, ski planes, float planes, boats, pack rafts, glacier travel near the North Pole, snow storms, snow shoes, skis, sleds, extreme cold, a 20-30 pitch rock climb, and thousands of miles driving. This book documents the journeys of Eric and Matthew Gilbertson to summit all 12 diverse and challenging highpoints of Canada’s provinces and territories. While this is a short list of peaks, it is still extremely difficult. Several of the mountains require serious mountaineering and expedition skills. Up to 2023, Eric is the fifth person to climb all 12 peaks, and Matthew is near finishing. Eric and Matthew Gilbertson were born in Berea, Kentucky, USA in 1986 and started hiking with their Dad in the nearby hills and “hollers” of Kentucky as soon as they could walk. Before that, their parents Keith and Mary Kay carried them on their backs on hikes. They have climbed the highest point in 140 countries as of June 2023.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perched atop the Kittatinny Mountains, in the northwestern corner of New Jersey, is one of the most beautiful parks in the state. High Point State Park is visited by thousands annually, and from the highest peak in New Jersey one can see three states and enjoy a vista for miles around. This park, one of the oldest in the state, has a rich history going back more than seventy-five years. High Point State Park and the Civilian Conservation Corps explores the history of the fascinating landmark, which was a gift of Colonel Anthony and Susie Kuser to the people of New Jersey in 1923. The famed landscape firm Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Massachusetts, was retained to design the park's facilities. The job of carrying out many of the proposals in the plan fell to the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era federal agency that combined work relief efforts with conservation work. The laborers, known as the CCC boys, developed the layout of the park from 1933 to 1941. Much of their work remains and is still used by visitors today.
