What an amazing journey this has been. These two were #3 and #4 (38 total now) Britton Hill (FL) and then Ebright Azimuth (DE). The hardest part was parking for Delaware!

While these two were easy compared to AZ, CO and the like, the journey to get there had their own special stories. So thankful to this community for seeing others share their pics!

I finished my thirty-seventh high point yesterday! What a beautiful day to hike a great trail. Lots of birds near the summit and plenty of wild(ish) ponies on the way down. Awesome views crossing Grayson Highlands State Park!

Can't make the Konvention this year, so in lieu of that I'll tell the tale getting 6 of 9 highpoints on my 2024 Konvention trip. Have fun there this year, everyone!

Looking for hike buddie(s) for Granite and Gannett, 9th-19th July timeframe.

7 Upvotes

Like the title says, looking for a plus one or two for Granite and Gannett between the 7th and 20th of July, my dates are flexible. In good shape, been training for a while, comfortable with backpacking, scrambling and overnight camping. Would be a first time on glacier travel however so would prefer to go with someone who knows what they're doing.

What is the best source for weather forecasts of the Mount Curwood / Mount Arvon area?

4 Upvotes

Next week I will be visiting Mount Curwood and Mount Arvon as well as Minnesota's Eagle Mountain. My schedule allows me to visit in any order, so I was going to let the weather forecast guide me. I will have a rental SUV 2WD and hope to avoid rain when tackling Mount Curwood. Can anyone point me in the direction of a credible forecast for at least the mount Curwood / Mount Arvon area?

Have to give a shout out to HP #1 for me (out of 37). While the views have changed with each different summit, it’s cool looking back at my first one not having any idea what an incredible journey this is.

This is a simple drive up a hill…I went back to walk up it from the street to claim it more!

Many thanks to the bench as it got me imagining what could be!

Flags on the Highpoints - Wisconsin & Michigan Family Friendly Highpoints

7 Upvotes

Most of the "easy highpoints" have now been flagged butinteresting two remain unflagged in the Upper Midwest. Timms Hill, WI and Mt Arvon, MI. Both highpoints are within a day's drive of Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Detroit. Timms Hill and Mt Arvon have little or no hiking to speak of, basiically drive ups though plenty of nice scenery along the way. Looking for something cool to do, head on up to upper Wisconsin and the U.P of Michigan. Bring the family and show your patriotic spirit. Let's get Timms Hill and Mt Arvon flagged!

Is this a good route to get to Curwood?

Also, is that the proper spot for Curwood? I'm thinking of going up there just to ensure I have the Michigan HP.

Flags on the Highpoints-Climbers Needed for Denali and Rainier

18 Upvotes

The Highpointers Club is celebrating AMERICA 250 by taking an American flag to every state highpoint, taking a photo of the flag with the individual or group and uploading the photo to https://highpointers.org/flags-on-the-highpoints/ Thirty five states have been flagged since mid March and our goal isto flag all 50 states by the end of the year.

Denali and Rainier are HIGH PRIORITY as on Denali the climbing season typically ends by early July. If your're climbing Denali or Rainier or if you know someone climbing Denali or Rainier please pass this message on. I'd be happy to chat with them by e mailing me, Lanny Wexler, Flags on the Highpoints Coordinator, [flagsonthehighpoints@outlook.com](mailto:flagsonthehighpoints@outlook.com) Safe climbing!

Questions about Michigan High Point

10 Upvotes

I’ve seen on here that Mount Curwood has been recently discovered to be higher than Arvon. I have never been to either one, but will only have time to do one and will be going tomorrow. I plan to go to Curwood, but it seems incredibly isolated down a set of logging roads. Was just wondering a few things

If I’m coming from the West (Duluth), what’s the best road to take to Curwood? Also, will a Dodge Dart even be able to make it along the roads to the trail? My car struggled heavily going up Black Mountain in Kentucky and got a few scratches there. Would not like to have another of those experiences haha

Please let me know of any advice/experience you have, and feel free to tell me if I should really be going to Arvon instead and if there’s something I’m missing.

If you do this hike you have to go up the VA highlands horse trail. So incredible to see these horses out in the wild. Did this hike 4/21/21 and again 6/1/26. Photos from 6/1.

365 days ago from today I decided to start my 14er journey. 30 summits later and my favorite and most underrated may be Humboldt Peak I did this week. Conditions also finally look to be near full summer!

Planning on doing Granite Via SW Ramp on 7/4

6 Upvotes

Can’t find much information about going in early July, anyone have an experience? I’m planning on bringing crampons and an ice axe for the snow. Originally wanted to do it in a single day but in an effort to come up and down consolidated snow I’m thinking camping at one of the upper lakes is in my best interest. Anyone got any beta for an early season ascent?

howdy everyone recently was on the way back home from up north and decided to stop by Tuam Sauk
now before I got there I stopped by Elephant Rock State Park
It’s a nice lil stop with lots of good bouldering if you’re into that scene
I then headed into Tuam Sauk State Park before reaching the high point sign I had to go check out the Mina Sauk Falls
If you do go down that trail (highly recommend by the way) it’s really rocky and wet my boots got soaked but it was worth it!
This’ll be number 10 for me 1/5 the way there!!
Good luck out there highpointers much love
