Highpointing is a unique form of peakbagging since the lists may include small hilltops in flat areas that are nearly indistinguishable. The Colorado county highpoints list has some of this, but also brings you to some of the highest summits in the lower 48, all the while providing a fun variety of challenges. Updated 2023 with LiDAR elevations; courtesy of Lists of John.
